Data Visualization - ANS-describes technologies that allow users to see or visualize
data to transform information into a business perspective
Data Wrangling - ANS-The process of cleaning, unifying, and preparing unorganized
and scattered data sets for easy access and analysis.
(converting unstructured data to structured data)
Text mining - ANS-discovery of patterns and relationships from large sets of
unstructured data
Machine learning - ANS-the extraction of knowledge from data based on algorithms
created from training data
Data Preparation - ANS-Gather and organize the data in the correct formats and
structures for analysis
