It has been done in a laboratory called AT&T InfoLab with live, real-time data for over a decade. The data, and associated business problems, both inform the technology created, and support value through many applications. Recent topics of focus have included: real-time data mining, data stream management, interactive visualization, data mining of non-relational data (e.g., speech), and mining of data from distributed sensor networks , with applications ranging from customer experience, to recommender systems, to medical monitoring/predicting.
