Data Mining refers to the application of algorithms for extracting patterns from data without the additional steps of the KDD process.
[De Martino et al., 2002]


The term data mining has mostly been used by statisticians, data analysts, and the management information systems (MIS) communities.
[...]
Data mining is the application of specific algorithms for extracting patterns from data.
[...]
Data mining is a step in the KDD process that consists of applying data analysis and discovery algorithms that produce a particular enumeration of patterns (or models) over the data.

Data mining is a step in the KDD process that consists of applying data analysis and discovery algorithms that, under acceptable computational efficiency limitations, produce a particular enumeration of patterns (or models) over the data.
