The 9 Laws of Data Mining provide a platform for theories in this area. In this presentation I will focus on those of the 9 laws whose explanations appeal to our understanding of cognition, and explain why data mining is the first intelligence amplifier." Background: Tom completed his PhD at Sussex in 1989, and became a lecturer in Artificial intelligence here, before moving into industry as an expert in Data Mining.
