Abstract:
A great challenge for data mining techniques is the huge space of potential rules which can be generated. If there are tens of thousands of items, then potential rules involving three items number in the trillions. Traditional data mining techniques rely on downward-closed measures such as support to prune the space of rules. However, in many applications, such pruning techniques either do not sufficiently reduce the space of rules, or they are overly restrictive. We propose a new solution to this problem, called Dynamic Data Mining (DDM). DDM foregoes the completeness offered by traditional techniques based on downward-closed measures in favor of the ability to drill deep into the space of rules and provide the user with a better view of the structure present in a data set. Instead of a single determinstic run, DDM runs continuously, exploring more and more of the rule space. Instead of using a downward-closed measure such as support to guide its exploration, DDM uses a user-defined m...
