Submitted by Uma Dasgupta, on August 08, 2018

Overview

There arises a confusion among most of the people between Big Data and Data mining. In this article, I will try to make you understand the difference between both and later on we will focus on the future scopes of Big data.

Big data and data mining are two completely different things. The only similarity between them or we can say that the only thing that relates to big data and data mining is the use of huge data sets that serve business or other purposes. But both Data mining and big data analysis are used for two different operations.

What is Big Data Analytics?

This is a process mostly used by different companies to analyze larger data sets with the objective of discovering the information of their need. It is commonly done to know the market trends, the customer’s interests, their preferences, hidden patterns, and the uncovered correlations. This analytics usually lead to new business opportunities, improvement of operational efficiency, improves the marketing successful fulfillment of public demands (preferences of customers).

Most of the companies nowadays depend on big data analytics to suggest them/advice them in making different kinds of business strategies.

Usage

Big data analytics can also be used to analyze data that might not have been discovered yet by conventional business programs. This includes:

  • Analyzation of response e-mails of a public survey.
  • Analyzation of data from different sensors connected to the Internet of things.
  • Social media data aggregation and activity reports.

Big data analysis a very fruitful option for establishments and giving a good rise to the business of companies. But the problem that lies in the implementation such as:

  • Cost of hiring big data experts are quite high.
  • It becomes a huge challenge to the management to handle such a big amount of data.
  • Integration of Hadoop systems and data warehouse presents another great challenge.

What is Data Mining?

Data mining is also defined as knowledge discovery. It is observing the data from a different viewpoint and preparing a summary containing useful information. The resultant information of data mining is usually used to reduce operational expenses. The software programs that are used in data mining are among the programs that are used in data analysis.

Technically, we can say that data mining includes discovering patterns or relations in large areas of related databases.

Data mining is done to assist the extraction of previously unknown patterns of data, including abnormalities present in data records, cluster analyzation of files containing data.
