Abstract
Data mining is the process of identifying interesting patterns from large databases. It is the core part of the knowledge discovery in database (KDD) process. Tasks in data mining are classified into summarization, classification, clustering, association and trend analysis. Data mining techniques are adopted from many research areas including statistics, machine learning, database systems, neural networks, rough sets and visualization. The techniques have been applied successfully in many areas from business to science to sports.
