According to you, what are the differences between data mining, machine learning and data analysis?

Hello guys, I asked myself what are the difference between the "new" subjects of computer science. I have some opinions, but I want a comparison with other experiencies. Then I ask you: According to you, what are the differences between data mining, machine learning, data analysis, big data, artificial intelligence and deep learning?

According to what I understand: Data mining is the process of collecting and analyzing data in order to produce meaningful information (such as patterns) which grants knowledge to a certain entity. Machine learning is the study of the algorithms which allow a machine (computer) to "learn" or "get good" at a particular field on its own, by being fed a (usually large) set of data. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning, in which the learning process is achieved through the use of (artificial) neural networks. Artificial intelligence is the general study of making machines intelligent / mimic human intelligence / to be able to make decisions like a human being. Big Data, as the name suggests, is big, big sets of data. E.g. all the activity and attributes of all users on a particular website. A.I. ⊃ Machine learning ⊃ Deep learning Machine learning may involve data mining. Data mining is the analysis of Big Data.
