A New Method for Classification of Datasets for Data Mining

Humans have been manually extracting patterns from data for centuries, but the increasing volume of data in modern times has called for more automated approaches. Information leads to power and success, and thanks to sophisticated technologies such as computers, satellites, etc., we have been collecting tremendous amounts of information. Initially, with the advent of computers and means for mass digital storage, we started collecting and storing all sorts of data, counting on the power of computers to help sort through this amalgam of information. Unfortunately, these massive collections of data stored on disparate structures very rapidly became overwhelming. A variety of information collected in digital form in databases and in flat files.
