This paper presents a system for discovering association rules from collections of unstructured documents called EART (Extract Association Rules from Text). The EART system treats texts only not images or figures. EART discovers association rules amongst keywords labeling the collection of textual documents. The main characteristic of EART is that the system integrates XML technology (to transf...

Discovering association rules and association rules change (ARC) from existing large databases is an important problem. This paper presents an approach based on multi-hash chain structures to mine association rules change from large database with shorter transactions. In most existing algorithms of association rules change, the mining procedure is divided into two phases, first, association rul...

We present a framework and generalization analysis for the use of association rules in the setting of supervised learning. We are specifically interested in a sequential event prediction problem where data are revealed one by one, and the goal is to determine what will next be revealed. In the context of this problem, algorithms based on association rules have a distinct advantage over classica...
