 DATA MINING
Data Mining, is the extraction of hidden predictive information from
large databases,
The over all goal of the data mining process is to extract information
from a dataset and transform it into an understandable structure for
further use
 Its goal is the extraction of patterns and knowledge from large amount
of data, not the extraction of data itself.
Data mining (the analysis step of the "Knowledge Discovery and Data
Mining“ process, or KDD)

 Why Data Mining?
The Explosive Growth of Data: from terabytes to petabytes
Eg: Global backbone telecommunication network carry tens of petabytes
everyday
(1024 Gigabytes = 1 Terabyte)( 1024 Terabytes = 1 Petabytes)
Data collection and data availability
Automated data collection tools, database systems, Web, computerized
society
Major sources of abundant data
Business: Web, e-commerce, transactions, stocks, …
Science: Remote sensing, bioinformatics, scientific simulation, …
Society and everyone: news, digital cameras,…

 Knowledge Process
1. Data cleaning – to remove noise and inconsistent data
2. Data integration – to combine multiple source
3. Data selection – to retrieve relevant data for analysis
4. Data transformation – to transform data into appropriate form for
data mining.
5. Data mining- An essential process where intelligent methods are
applied to extract data patterns
6. Pattern Evaluation-Identify truly interesting patterns representing
knowledge based on interestingness measure
7. Knowledge presentation-visualization and representation techniques
