NASA Technology Takes Center Stage
ABSTRACT
In today’s fast-paced business world, there is often more information available to researchers than there is time to search
through it. Data mining has become the answer to finding the proverbial ‘needle in a haystack,’ as companies must be able
to quickly locate specific pieces of information from large collections of data. Perilog, a suite of data-mining tools, searches
for hidden patterns in large databases to determine previously unrecognized relationships. By retrieving and organizing
contextually relevant data from any sequence of terms - from genetic data to musical notes - the software can intelligently
compile information about desired topics from databases.
