There are often a huge number of association rules discovered in a data mining practice, making it difficult for users to identify those that are of particular interest to them. Therefore, it is important to remove insignificant rules and prune redundancy as well as summarize, visualize and post-mine the discovered rules. Moreover, the information we can get from traditional association rules is very limited, so new forms of association rules are needed to discover useful and actionable knowledge. The book aims to present a whole picture of the post-analysis, summarization and new forms of association rules and introduce the up-to-date research on the above topics to extract useful knowledge from a large number of discovered association rules.
The book will focus on the post-analysis of association rules to extract useful and actionable knowledge from a large number of discovered rules. It will cover interest, redundancy, post-mining, summarization, presentation and visualization of association rules, as well as novel forms and new trends of association rules. It will not only present academia with a systematic view of the current research progress on the above topics, but it will also help industry learn from the ideas and apply them to find actionable knowledge in real-world applications.
The audience of this book will be researchers in the field of data mining, postgraduate students who are interested in data mining, and industry data miners. Note that the audience is not limited to those interested in association rules because the post-mining of association rules involves clustering, classification and many other techniques of data mining, as well as statistics and artificial intelligence, which are actually beyond association rule mining itself.
Proposal submission deadline: December 31, 2007 Notification of proposal acceptance: January 31, 2008
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before December 31, 2007, a 2-5 page manuscript proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by January 31, 2008 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by April 30, 2008. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. The book is scheduled to be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group), www.igi-global.com, publisher of the IGI Publishing (Idea Group Publishing), Information Science Publishing, IRM Press, CyberTech Publishing, Information Science Reference (formerly Idea Group Reference) and Medical Information Science Reference imprints.

Post-Mining of Association Rules: Techniques for
Effective Knowledge Extraction
A book edited by Dr. Yanchang Zhao, Prof. Chengqi Zhang
and Dr. Longbing Cao
To be published by IGI Global (formerly Idea Group) http://www-staff.it.uts.edu.au/~yczhao/IGI-book/CFC.htm
Introduction
There are often a huge number of association rules discovered in a data mining practice, making it difficult for users to identify those that are of particular interest to them. Therefore, it is important to remove insignificant rules and prune redundancy as well as summarize, visualize and post-mine the discovered rules. Moreover, the information we can get from traditional association rules is very limited, so new forms of association rules are needed to discover useful and actionable knowledge. The book aims to present a whole picture of the post-analysis, summarization and new forms of association rules and introduce the up-to-date research on the above topics to extract useful knowledge from a large number of discovered association rules.
The Overall Objective of the Book
The book will focus on the post-analysis of association rules to extract useful and actionable knowledge from a large number of discovered rules. It will cover interest, redundancy, post-mining, summarization, presentation and visualization of association rules, as well as novel forms and new trends of association rules. It will not only present academia with a systematic view of the current research progress on the above topics, but it will also help industry learn from the ideas and apply them to find actionable knowledge in real-world applications.
The Target Audience
The audience of this book will be researchers in the field of data mining, postgraduate students who are interested in data mining, and industry data miners. Note that the audience is not limited to those interested in association rules because the post-mining of association rules involves clustering, classification and many other techniques of data mining, as well as statistics and artificial intelligence, which are actually beyond association rule mining itself.
Recommended topics include, but not limited to:
- Subjective & objective interestingness
- Removing redundancy in association rules
- Summarization and generalization of association rules
- Presentation and visualization of association rules
- Maintenance of association rules
- Post-mining of association rules, e.g., clustering association rules
- Class association rules and association classifier
- Quantitative association rules and inter-transaction association rules
- New forms/challenges/trends of association rules and association mining
Important Dates
Proposal submission deadline: December 31, 2007 Notification of proposal acceptance: January 31, 2008
Full chapter submission: April 30, 2008 Notification of chapter review: June 30, 2008 Revised chapter submission: July 30, 2008 Final notification of acceptance: August 15, 2008 Camera ready copy submission: September 15, 2008
Submission Procedure
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before December 31, 2007, a 2-5 page manuscript proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by January 31, 2008 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by April 30, 2008. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.
