Effective Data Mining for Proper Mining Classification Using Neural Networks

Abstract

With the development of database, the data volume stored in database increases rapidly and in the large amounts of data much important information is hidden. If the information can be extracted from the database they will create a lot of profit for the organization. The question they are asking is how to extract this value. The answer is data mining. There are many technologies available to data mining practitioners, including Artificial Neural Networks, Genetics, Fuzzy logic and Decision Trees. Many practitioners are wary of Neural Networks due to their black box nature, even though they have proven themselves in many situations. This paper is an overview of artificial neural networks and questions their position as a preferred tool by data mining practitioners.
