In this paper, we want to improve association rules in order to be used in recommenders. Recommender systems present a method to create the personalized offers. One of the most important types of recommender systems is the collaborative filtering that deals with data mining in user information and offering them the appropriate item. Among the data mining methods, finding frequent item sets and ...

Association rule mining finds interesting associations and/or correlation relationships among large set of data items. However, when the number of association rules become large, it becomes less interesting to the user. It is crucial to help the decision-maker with an efficient postprocessing step in order to select interesting association rules throughout huge volumes of discovered rules. This...

With the popularization of big data, an increasing number discrete event data have been collected and recorded during system operations. These events are usually stored in form logs, which contain rich information operations potential applications fault diagnosis failure prediction. In manufacturing processes, various levels correlations exist among events, can be used to predict occurrence eve...

In data mining applications, it is important to develop evaluation methods for selecting quality and profitable rules. This paper utilizes a non-parametric approach, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), to estimate and rank the efficiency of association rules with multiple criteria. The interestingness of association rules is conventionally measured based on support and confidence. For specific app...
