What Is Data Mining?
TechnologyAdvice, Friday, July 19th, 2024
Data mining involves using computers, automation technology, and intelligent automation, such as robotic process automation (RPA), artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to extract useful information from large, raw datasets.
The extracted information is cataloged, organized, and presented in a data analysis process businesses use to make informed, data-driven decisions.
The internet, personal computers, and mobile devices helped accelerate the digital age that required further advancements in technologies like data mining. Using automated data mining tools became necessary because the large quantities of raw data made it unrealistic for humans to process raw data in a reasonable time. Additionally, using AI tools combined with RPA processes on raw structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data allowed the processing of these data types for 24 hours a day with minimal errors and no breaks.
