A Methodological View on Knowledge-Intensive Subgroup Discovery

چکیده
Background knowledge is a natural resource for knowledge-intensive methods: Its exploitation can often improve the quality of their results significantly. In this paper we present a methodological view on knowledge-intensive subgroup discovery: We introduce different classes and specific types of useful background knowledge, discuss their benefit and costs, and describe their application in the subgroup discovery setting. ∗

A Knowledge-Intensive Approach for Semi-automatic Causal Subgroup Discovery
This paper presents a methodological view on knowledge-intensive causal subgroup discovery implemented in a semi-automatic approach. We show how to identify causal relations between subgroups by generating an extended causal subgroup network utilizing background knowledge. Using the links within the network we can identify causal relations, but also relations that are potentially confounded and...
متن کاملTowards Knowledge-Intensive Subgroup Discovery
Subgroup discovery can be applied for exploration or descriptive induction in order to discover ”interesting” subgroups of the general population, given a certain property of interest. In domains with available background knowledge, the user usually wants to utilize this to improve the quality of the subgroup discovery results. We describe a knowledge-intensive approach for subgroup discovery u...
متن کاملExploiting Background Knowledge for Knowledge-Intensive Subgroup Discovery
In general, knowledge-intensive data mining methods exploit background knowledge to improve the quality of their results. Then, in knowledge-rich domains often the interestingness of the mined patterns can be increased significantly. In this paper we categorize several classes of background knowledge for subgroup discovery, and present how the necessary knowledge elements can be modelled. Furth...
متن کاملSubgroup Discovery – Advanced Review
Subgroup discovery is a broadly applicable descriptive data mining technique for identifying interesting subgroups according to some property of interest. This article summarizes fundamentals of subgroup discovery, before it reviews algorithms and further advanced methodological issues. In addition, we briefly discuss tools and applications of subgroup discovery approaches. In that context, we ...
متن کاملKnowledge-intensive subgroup mining: techniques for automatic and interactive discovery
Data mining has proved its significance in various domains and applications. As an important subfield of the general data mining task, subgroup mining can be used, e.g., for marketing purposes in business domains, or for quality profiling and analysis in medical domains. The goal is to efficiently discover novel, potentially useful and ultimately interesting knowledge. However, in real-world si...
