Data mining reveals hidden gems among seemingly incomprehensible amounts of data. What makes data mining special is that it can be used to predict future behavior rather than focus on past events. Last April stores in Dallas may have sold out of your umbrellas, but can you expect the same spate of sales this year? Did stores display the umbrellas near the galoshes? Did they drop the price, distribute coupons or promote a special on rain gear? Did the increase in sales of backpacks (or any other item) contribute to the umbrella blowout? Data mining professionals and systems analyze the relationships among relevant patterns in data—sometimes seemingly unrelated data—to predict future trends.

Data mining has benefited not only companies with products to sell, but medical researchers with vaccines to develop, law enforcement with lives to protect, engineers with highways to build, even professional sports teams with games to win. Data mining reveals patterns in numbers, yes, but data mining tools can dig through locations, product categories, addresses, transactions, even straight text like in newspapers.
