Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA User-Driven Association Rule Mining Based on Templates for Multi-Relational DataCarlos Roberto Valêncio, Guilherme Henrique Morais, Márcio Zamboti Fortes et al.Data mining algorithms to find association rules are an important tool to extract knowledge from databases. However, these algorithms produce an enormous amount of rules, many of which could be redundant or irrelevant for a specific decision-making process. Also, the use of previous knowledge and hypothesis are not considered by these algorithms. On the other hand, most existing data mining … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 11 · 8 Nov 2018 · 7,442 accessesView PDF Cite
