When I ?rst came across the term data mining and knowledge
discovery in databases, I was excited and curious to ?nd out what
it was all about. I was excited because the term tends to convey a
new ?eld that is in the making. I was curious because I wondered
what it was doing that the other ?elds of research, such as
statistics and the broad ?eld of arti?cial intelligence, were not
doing. After reading up on the literature, I have come to realize
that it is not much different from conventional data analysis. The
commonly used de?nition of knowledge discovery in databases: "the
non-trivial process of identifying valid, novel, potentially
useful, and ultimately understandable patterns in data" is actually
in line with the core mission of conventional data analysis. The
process employed by conventional data analysis is by no means
trivial, and the patterns in data to be unraveled have, of course,
to be valid, novel, useful and understandable. Therefore, what is
the commotion all about? Careful scrutiny of the main lines of
research in data mining and knowledge discovery again told me that
they are not much different from that of conventional data
analysis. Putting aside data warehousing and database m- agement
aspects, again a main area of research in conventional database
research, the rest of the tasks in data mining are largely the main
concerns of conventional data analysis.
