Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery in Business Databases

The rapid and constant growth of databases in business, government, and science has far outpaced our ability to interpret and make sense of this data avalanche, creating a need for a new generation of tools and techniques for intelligent and automated database analysis. These tools and techniques are the subject of the rapidly emerging field of data mining and knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). This paper surveys the state of the art in this field, with a particular focus on the issues and challenges in applying KDD to business databases.
