Introduction
There are often a huge number
of association rules discovered in a data mining practice, making it
difficult for users to identify those that are of particular interest to
them. Therefore, it is important to remove insignificant rules and prune
redundancy as well as summarize, visualize and post-mine the discovered
rules. Moreover, the information we can get from traditional association
rules is very limited, so new forms of association rules are needed to
discover useful and actionable knowledge. The book aims to present a
whole picture of the post-analysis, summarization and new forms of
association rules and introduce the up-to-date research on the above
topics to extract useful knowledge from a large number of discovered
association rules.
The Overall
Objective of the Book
The book will focus on the post-analysis of
association rules to extract useful and actionable knowledge from a
large number of discovered rules. It will cover interest, redundancy,
post-mining, summarization, presentation and visualization of
association rules, as well as novel forms and new trends of association
rules. It will not only present academia with a systematic view of the
current research progress on the above topics, but it will also help
industry learn from the ideas and apply them to find actionable
knowledge in real-world applications.
The Target Audience
The audience of this
book will be researchers in the field of data mining, postgraduate
students who are interested in data mining, and industry data miners.
Note that the audience is not limited to those interested in association
rules because the post-mining of association rules involves clustering,
classification and many other techniques of data mining, as well as
statistics and artificial intelligence, which are actually beyond
association rule mining itself.
