Data mining is the process of discovering these patterns among the data and is therefore also known as Knowledge Discovery from Data (KDD). You might be wondering what benefit you can get out of these techniques?

Density-Based Clustering

Domino Data Lab

Due to its importance in both theory and applications, this algorithm is one of three algorithms awarded the Test of Time Award at the KDD conference in 2014. Rather it infers the number of clusters based on the data, and it can discover clusters of arbitrary shape (for comparison, k-means usually discovers spherical clusters).
