Knowledge Discovery 
• Knowledge discovery is the nontrivial extraction of implicit, previously 
unknown, and potentially useful, information from data. 
• Exponentially increasing data/information 
• Hard to analyse the data due to its increasing volume.
Knowledge Discovery 
• It has been estimated that the amount of information in the 
world doubles every 20 months. 
• Characteristics of Knowledge Discovery 
• Certainty 
• Interesting 
• Efficiency
Comparison of various terms
Related Approaches 
• Database management 
• Expert Systems 
• Statistics 
• Scientific Discovery
Need of KDD 
• There is an urgent need for a new generation of computational theories and 
tools to assist humans in Extracting useful Information (knowledge) from 
the rapidly growing volumes of digital data. 
• Use in various fields such as science and businesses 
• Marketing 
• Investment 
• Fraud Detection 
• Telecommunications
