    Data mining involves filtering through large amounts of raw data to find useful patterns and trends that can provide businesses with a competitive advantage. Artificial intelligence techniques like neural networks, clustering, and decision trees are often used to analyze and divide the data into subsets. Clustering groups similar data points, while decision trees further separate subsets into smaller groups. The data must be cleaned and stored uniformly before mining begins. Analysts then review the results from data mining tools to validate patterns and determine appropriate actions. Data mining has many applications across domains like business, law, healthcare, and science.

    Clustering divides data into groups based on
    similar features or limited data ranges. Clusters
    are used when data isn't labelled in a way that is
    favourable to mining. For instance, an insurance
    company that wants to find instances of fraud
    wouldn't have its records labelled as fraudulent
    or not fraudulent. But after analysing patterns
    within clusters, the mining software can start to
    figure out the rules that point to which claims are
    likely to be false.
    Decision trees, like clusters, separate the data into
    subsets and then analyse the subsets to divide
    them into further subsets, and so on (for a few
    more levels). The final subsets are then small
    enough that the mining process can find
    interesting patterns and relationships within the
    data.
    Once the data to be mined is identified, it should
    be cleansed. Cleansing data frees it from duplicate
    information and erroneous data. Next, the data
    should be stored in a uniform format within
    relevant categories or fields. Mining tools can
    work with all types of data storage, from large data
    warehouses to smaller desktop databases to flat
    files. Data warehouses and data
