CrystalBall : A Framework for Mining Variants of Association Rules
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mining of informative rules calls for methods that include different attributes (e.g., weights, quantities, multipleconcepts) suitable for the context of the problem to be analyzed. Previous studies have focused on algorithms that considered individual attributes but ignored the information gain in each rule when the interaction of two or more attributes are taken into account. Motivated by the above, we developed a framework called CrystalBall that supports declarative mining of different rules (i.e., variants) involving several attributes. It eliminates the time and cost of engineering algorithms as practiced in previous studies, and introduces a foundation for cross-variant enhancements. The framework consists of a generic rule mining engine (VI), and a variant description language (VDL) for defining attribute-specific behavior. Besides demonstrating the flexibility of the framework, we also discuss the experimental studies, the limitations of the framework, as well as future work in the paper.

The researcher could classify customers of each policy in three different clusters, using association rules. A...
متن کاملA Framework for Efficient Scalable Mining of Rule Variants
Association rule mining is an important data mining problem. Since its inception, different variants of rules has been proposed in the literature. In each case, different attributes (e.g., weight and quantity) are considered to obtain more informative rules. To our knowledge, each proposal is based on the Apriori algorithm that is, in modern context, inefficient. Methods that outperform the Apr...
