What is not Data Mining?

We have discussed last lecture what Data Mining is and how it differs from other fields. Six of you have volunteered to help summarize what we have said last lecture by defining a "field" and giving an example about it from social media applications.

The 6 fields we would like to define are: Data Mining, Data Science, Statistics, Information Retrieval, Data Base Management Systems, and Artificial Intelligence.

The 6 volunteers are: Taysir, Osama, Mays, Muath, Basel and (was it Richard or Ziad? I forgot!).

You can write your contributions here: http://piratepad.net/pZhmljaqmR. Make sure to enter your name at the top right TextBox before contributing so that we can tell who wrote what.

Everyone is welcome to contribute even if he was not assigned a topic or if he wishes to add something to what another student said.

Have a nice holiday!

Update:
- Remember; the task is to: 1) define and 2) give an example from social media.
- Keep the definition and the examples as short as possible.
- Avoid "copy and paste", especially in the example.
