Traditionally, data mining and knowledge discovery was performed manually. As time passed, the amount of data in many systems grew to larger than terabyte size, and could no longer be maintained manually.

As a result, several software tools were developed to discover hidden data and make assumptions, which formed a part of artificial intelligence.
