Book Description
Knowledge discovery has been defined as "the extraction of implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful information from data." In a world increasingly overloaded with data of varying quality, not least via the Internet, computerized tools are becoming useful to "mine" useful data from the mass available. This has led to data mining becoming an important aspect of IT and applied computing. This book reviews some of the underlying technologies and also some recent applications in a number of fields.
