AB: Data mining is the act of extracting useful knowledge from a data set. This knowledge can take many forms. It can be in the detection of features of interest. It can be in the form of statistical analysis of data sets. It can be in the form of predictive expressions describing the data or relationships between data. It can be in the form of anomaly detection, serendipitous events which require further investigation. The simplest form of data mining consists of manual inspection of the data sets. This has been the norm in space physics for decades. The most advanced forms of data mining make use of emerging computer science methods, including advances in artificial intelligence. In this presentation we will give a brief introduction to some of the resources that are available for performing advanced data mining. We will focus on giving an overview of some data mining techniques, and how they have been, or could be, applied to space physics problems.
