ABSTRACT
In the interdisciplinary area of exploring a large quantity of data in order to discover meaningful information from it, in the form of patterns and rules, different terminologies are used: data mining (DM); artificial intelligence (AI), including artificial neural networks (ANNs) and genetic algorithms (GAs); computational intelligence (CI); fuzzy logic (FL); intelligent data analysis (IDA); data-driven modelling (DDM); soft computing etc. In fact, DM and DDM together cover all of these terminologies.
