TUTORIAL ON DATA MINING AND KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY IN DATABASES (KDD).

Some systems that are only partially known produce a huge amount of data; this data often contains valuable information that may be very helpful and may even resemble a gold vain to the eyes of a corporate manager.

The dimension of large databases and their growing speed, makes it difficult for a human to analyze and extract any useful information from them, even with the use of classic statistical tools.

 Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) combines traditional techniques with many resources developed into the Artificial Intelligence (A I) area. On these applications the term Data Mining has been more accepted.

In some cases the Data Mining tools coming from AI are new, not well understood, and caressing a formal theoretical support. But in this case the goal is so priced, that practical results override the academic elegance.
