Data mining (DM) is an exciting new field combining databases, artificial intelligence, machine learning and visualisation, among others. It is applied in many fields of business, industry and science to support knowledge discovery and understanding of customers, products and processes.
Central to DM are the algorithms themselves. This subject builds on previous DM subjects to give an understanding of how both the basic and more powerful and subtle algorithms function.
