Generally when talking about data driven you are talking about quantitative data and not qualitative data.

A pet peeve of mine is when people assume qualitative data is less rigorous. It's really just as rigorous and just as valid, and can sometimes require even more sophisticated analysis.

Anyone can plug numbers into a formula (there are so few barriers to doing that, that most people probably do it kind of wrong and get approximately directionally-correct results anyway), but handling qualitative data requires really knowing what you're doing from first principles.

Or you could just call it “Natural Neural Network data integration”
