Mining Actionable Patterns

چکیده
We propose a generic framework that uses utility in decision making to drive the data mining process. We use concepts from meta-learning and build on earlier work by Elovici and Braha, that uses decision theory for formulating an utility measure, to specialize the framework for classification tasks. We show empirical validation of the approach on a simple test domain.

Actionable Rules: Issues and New Directions
Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) is the process of extracting previously unknown, hidden and interesting patterns from a huge amount of data stored in databases. Data mining is a stage of the KDD process that aims at selecting and applying a particular data mining algorithm to extract an interesting and useful knowledge. It is highly expected that data mining methods will find interesting...
متن کاملCombined Pattern Mining: From Learned Rules to Actionable Knowledge
Association mining often produces large collections of association rules that are difficult to understand and put into action. In this paper, we have designed a novel notion of combined patterns to extract useful and actionable knowledge from a large amount of learned rules. We also present definitions of combined patterns, design novel metrics to measure their interestingness and analyze the r...
متن کاملSelect actionable positive or negative sequential patterns
Negative sequential patterns (NSP) refer to sequences with non-occurring and occurring items, and can play an irreplaceable role in understanding and addressing many business applications. However, some problems occur after mining NSP, the most urgent one of which is how to select the actionable positive or negative sequential patterns. This is due to the following factors: 1) positive sequenti...
متن کاملData Mining for Actionable Knowledge: A Survey
The data mining process consists of a series of steps ranging from data cleaning, data selection and transformation, to pattern evaluation and visualization. One of the central problems in data mining is to make the mined patterns or knowledge actionable. Here, the term actionable refers to the mined patterns suggest concrete and profitable actions to the decision-maker. That is, the user can d...
متن کاملDiscovery of Actionable Patterns in Databases: The Action Hierarchy Approach
An approach to defining actionability as a measure of interestingness of patterns is proposed. This approach is based on the concept of an action hierarchy which is defined as a tree of actions with patterns and pattern templates (data mining queries) assigned to its nodes. A method for discovering actionable patterns is presented and various techniques for optimizing the discovery process are ...
متن کاملCombined Mining: Analyzing Object and Pattern Relations for Discovering Actionable Complex Patterns
Combined mining is a technique for analyzing object relations and pattern relations, and for extracting and constructing actionable complex knowledge (patterns or exceptions) in complex situations. Although combined patterns can be built within a single method, such as combined sequential patterns by aggregating relevant frequent sequences, this knowledge is composed of multiple constituent com...
