Meaningful discretization of continuous features for association rules mining by means of a SOM
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents the problem of the unsupervised discretization of continuous attributes for association rules mining. It shows commonly used techniques for this aim and highlights their principal limitations. To overcome such limitations a method based on the use of a SOM is presented and tested over various real world datasets.

متن کاملSupervised Dynamic and Adaptive Discretization for Rule Mining
Association rule mining is a well-researched topic in data mining. However, a common limitation with existing algorithms is that they mainly deal with categorical data. In this work we propose a methodology that allows adaptive discretization and quantitative rule discovery in large mixed databases. More specifically, we propose a top-down, recursive approach to find ranges of values for contin...
