Are you really a data miner?

As we plan for the next Data Mining Users Group (May 9), we find ourselves debating what data mining really is. How does your organizaiton define data mining? Does it include classical statistics (like regression and clustering)? Is it limited to machine learning and artificial intelligence? Does it include OLAP and reporting?

We'll be discussing this topic - and why it matters - on May 9 at the Toronto Data Mining Users Group (www.torontodatamining.ca )
