  • Digital TV
  • Automotive
  • My recent informal research into data mining applications indicates that roughly 50% of data mining work is being done on marketing/customer behavior and (seperately) about 50% is in the money business (combined banking, finance and insurance).
  • No entry for non-profits or other fundraising
  • Interesting results, difficult to interpret. Industry and application are mixed. Eg.: no way to tell % using for direct mail response modeling since banking, retail, telco resp. could all be using dm for this purpose. Suggest future poll.
  • I am Data miner + Researcher+Software developer committed to apply data mining tools (both existing and the ones developed by me) to all the fields above
