A Comprehensive Review of AI-Driven Data Mining Techniques

Introduction

The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has fundamentally transformed the field of data mining, enabling the extraction of valuable insights from increasingly large and complex datasets. Data mining is the process of discovering patterns and knowledge from large amounts of data, and its significance has grown with the exponential increase in data generation across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, marketing, and more (1). AI-driven techniques, particularly machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL), have emerged as powerful tools for enhancing data mining processes, allowing for automated pattern recognition and predictive analytics that were previously unattainable (2,3). The integration of AI into data mining has enabled organizations to make data-driven decisions with greater accuracy and efficiency. For instance, in healthcare, AI algorithms analyze patient data to predict disease outbreaks and optimize treatment plans (4. In finance, machine learning models are employed to detect fraudulent transactions in real-time (5). The application of these technologies is vast, leading to improved operational efficiencies and innovative solutions across various domains (6). Despite the numerous advantages, the deployment of AI-driven data mining techniques also presents challenges, such as data privacy concerns, algorithmic bias, and the need for interpretability in model predictions (7). As the field continues to evolve, it is crucial to explore these methodologies comprehensively, addressing both their capabilities and limitations. This review aims to provide an in-depth examination of AI-driven data mining techniques, elucidating their impact on data analysis and decision-making processes, while also highlighting future directions for research and application.
