Enhancing Rule Importance Measure Using Concept Hierarchy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A rule importance measure is used to evaluate how important are the rules which characterize a data set. This measure was designed based on association rules and it has been proven to be effective to enumerate the most important rules of all rules generated. However, since rule importance is an objective measure, its usage as a rule interestingness measure relies on the interpretation of domain experts. We propose to enhance the rule importance measure previously used by incorporating a weight biased attribute concept hierarchy. The new measure better reflects the importance of a rule by integrating with the domain knowledge. A geriatric care data set is used as our experimental data set. We show that this enhanced rule importance measure provides a knowledge oriented distinction of rules classified as important.

Predicting different behaviors in computer networks is the subject of many data mining researches. Providing a balanced Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that directly addresses the trade-off between the ability to detect new attack types and providing low false detection rate is a fundamental challenge. Many of the proposed methods perform well in one of the two aspects, and concentrate on a su...
متن کاملMining Level-Crossing Association Rules from Large Databases
Existing algorithms for mining association rule at multiple concept level, restricted mining strong association among the concept at same level of a hierarchy. However mining level-crossing association rule at multiple concept level may lead to the discovery of mining strong association among at different level of hierarchy. In this study, a top-down progressive deepening method is developed fo...
متن کاملEnhancing Internet Search Engines to Achieve Concept-based Retrieval
Most engines used for searching information resources via the Internet employ the Boolean Retrieval Model. Two main drawbacks of this model are that users have difficulty to precisely formulate their concept (or, topic) of interest using Boolean logic and the resulting output is not ranked. We propose to address both these problems by employing a Concept-based Retrieval Model, where a concept i...

An attribute-oriented induction has been developed in the previous study of knowledge discovery in databases. A concept tree as-cension technique is applied in concept generalization. In this paper, we extend the background knowledge representation from an unconditional non-rule-based concept hierarchy to a rule-based concept hierarchy , which enhances greatly its representation power. An eecie...
