In this paper, we introduce a new algebraic structure, called a UP-algebra (UP means the University of Phayao) and a concept of UP-ideals, UP-subalgebras, congruences and UP-homomorphisms in UP-algebras, and investigated some related properties of them. We also describe connections between UP-ideals, UP-subalgebras, congruences and UP-homomorphisms, and show that the notion of UP-algebras is a ...

One of the deening challenges for the KDD research community is to enable inductive learning algorithms to mine very large databases. By collecting, categorizing, and summarizing existing work on scaling up inductive algorithms, this paper serves to establish common ground for researchers addressing the challenge. We concentrate on algorithms that build decision trees and rule sets, in order to...
