Data mining is the principle of sorting through large amounts of data and picking out relevant information. It is usually used by business intelligence organizations, and financial analysts, but it is increasingly used in the sciences to extract information from the enormous data sets generated by modern experimental and observational methods. It has been described as "the nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information from data"}} and "the science of extracting useful information from large data sets or databases". Terminology Related terms Although the term "data mining" is usually used in relation to analysis of data, like artificial intelligence, it is an umbrella term with varied meanings in a wide range of contexts. Data mining is considered a subfield within the Computer Science field of knowledge discovery. Data mining is also closely related
