Data Mining

Data Mining (pronounced: /ˈdeɪtə ˈmaɪnɪŋ/) is the process of discovering patterns in large data sets involving methods at the intersection of machine learning, statistics, and database systems. The term is a misnomer, as the goal is the extraction of patterns and knowledge from large amounts of data, not the extraction (mining) of data itself.

Etymology

The term "Data Mining" appeared in the 1990s in the database community. It was originally used to denote the overall process of knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). The term was coined to mean "knowledge mining from data," or "knowledge mining," which was eventually shortened to data mining.
