Tom Khabaza: Abstract

Data mining is a business process which applies knowledge to interpret data and generate new knowledge. This process, and the people who carry out the process, will be with us for a long time, centuries at least. Because of its long term importance to our society, we need to understand data mining (and data analytics) better. We need to understand the process (methodology), why it takes the form that it does (theory), the kinds of people who will carry it out (practitioners) and how these people will operate as a community (a profession). This presentation will include the latest developments in data mining theory (the 9 laws of data mining, arising from the CRISP-DM methodology) and in the data analytics profession (the Society of Data Miners).
