Big data mining

Abstract

Big data is a term used to describe very large amount of structured, semi-structured and unstructureddata that is difficult to process using the traditional processing techniques. It is now expanding in allscience and engineering domains. The key attributes of big data are volume, velocity, variety, validity,veracity, value, and visibility. In today's world, everyone is using social networking applications likeFacebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. These applications allow the users to create the contents for free of costand it becomes huge volume of web data. These data are important in the competitive business world formaking decisions. In this context, big data mining plays a major role which is different from the traditionaldata mining. The process of extracting useful information from large datasets or streams of data,due to its volume, velocity, variety, validity, veracity, value and visibility is termed as Big Data Mining.
