The document discusses data mining tools and processes. It describes how artificial intelligence (AI) methods like decision trees, neural networks, and clustering are used in data mining to analyze and find patterns in data. Neural networks discover patterns called rules, and clustering is used to group unlabeled data. Data analysts can refine parameters, use other analysis tools, or discard unusable data to improve mining results. Data mining is applied in domains like analyzing court decisions, healthcare patterns, and more.

A. Find the Answer to these question in the following text.
1. What tool is often used in data mining?
- the most popular tool is artificial intelligence (AI) 2. What AI method is used for the following processes? a. Separate data into subsets and then analyse the subsets to divide them into further subsets for a number of levels - decision trees b. Continually analyse and compare data until patterns emerge - neural networks c. Divide data into groups based on similar features or limited data ranges - clustering 3. what term is used for the patterns found by neural networks? - patterns are known as rules 4. when are clusters used in data mining? - when data isn't labelled in a way 5. what types of data storage can be used in data mining? - mining tools can work with all types of data storage, from large data warehouses to smaller desktop 6. what can an analyst do to improve the data mining results? - refining parameters, using other data analysis tools to examine data or even scrapping the data if it's unusable 7. name some of the ways in which data mining is currently used - analysing supreme court decisions, discovering patterns in health care, pulling storries about competitors from newswires, resolving bottlenecks in production process, analysing sequences in the human genetic makeup..
B. Re-read the text to find the answers to these question 1. match the terms in table A with the statements in table B a Data mining > iii b AI > iv c Cleased data > ii d Data Warehouse > i
2. mark the following as true or false: a > false b > true c > true d > true e > false
3. complete the following description of the data mining process using words from the text: Large amounts of data stored in data warehouse are often used for data mining . The data is first clean to remove duplicate information and errors. The data is then analysed using a tool such as artificial intelegence . An analysis report is then analysed by an analyst who decides if the parameters need to be refined, other data analysis tools need to be used, or if the results need to be discarded because they are unusable. The analyst passes the final results to the decision makers who decide on the appropriante action.
