The best method of analyzing the unstructured data is to look for patterns. Patterns reveal whether there are any similarities in the data or any processes are involved in it. Various mining tools make use of data-mining techniques, statistical analysis, model-driven software engineering (MDSE) techniques, and artificial intelligence techniques to analyze unstructured data. Here are some of the most popular techniques:

• Machine learning
• Natural Language Processing (NLP)
• Cognitive computing

These advancements will automate the process of curating and maintaining the data. Analysts are open to focus more on analysis, prediction rather than preprocessing, and data transformation.
