Data mining is the step-wise process of automating knowledge extraction from databases. The objective is to find comprehensible rules and relations in datasets. Often these rules are abstractions and require the application of various machine learning techniques including artificial neural networks (ANNs). This tutorial will focus on machine learning and artificial neural network techniques for the extraction of knowledge from large financial databases. The presentation will include a discussion of case studies and a demonstration of data mining tools.
