Motivation


Machine-learning and data-mining techniques have
been developed to turn data into useful taskoriented knowledge.
Most algorithms for mining association rules identify
relationships among transactions using binary
values and find rules at a single-concept level.
Objective



This paper proposes a fuzzy multiple-level mining
algorithm for extracting knowledge implicit in
transactions stored as quantitative values.
The proposed algorithm adopts a top-down
progressively deepening approach to finding large
itemsets.
It integrates fuzzy-set concepts, data-mining
technologies and multiple-level taxonomy to find
fuzzy association rules from transaction data sets.
Introduction

Proposed a method for mining association
rules from data sets using quantita-tive and
categorical attributes.

association rules in large relational tables,” in The
1996 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on
Management of Data.
Introduction(cont.)

Fuzzy set theory is being used more and
more fre-quently in intelligent systems
because of its simplicity and similarity to
human reasoning [15].
Mining at Multiple Concept Levels

They divided the min-ing process into two
phases.


Candidate itemsets were generated and counted
by scanning the transaction data.
Association rules were induced from the large
itemsets found in the first phase

Step 2. All transactions shown in Table 1 are then
encoded using the above coding scheme
Step 3. k is initially set at 1, where k is used to store the
level number being processed.
Step 4. All the items in the transactions are first
grouped on level one.

Step 6. The scalar
cardinality of each
fuzzy region in the
transactions is
calculated as the count
value.
Its scalar
cardinality=(0.8+0.8+
0.0+0.2+0.0+0.0) =1.8

region with the highest
count among the three
possible regions for
each item is found.

checked against the predefined minimum support

number of items kept in the current itemsets.
Step 13. Since is null, k =k + 1=2 and Step 4 is done.
The results for level 2 are shown in Table 10.The
results for level 3 are shown in Table 11.Since there are
no items on level 4, Step 17 is done.

They were implemented in C on a Pentium-III 700
Personal Computer.

(terminal nodes) on level 3, 16generalized items on level
2, and 4 generalized items on level 1.

Discussion and Conclusions



Proposed a fuzzy multiplelevel data-mining
algorithm that can process transaction data with
quantitative values and discover interesting patterns
among them.
This method achieves better time complexity since
only the most important fuzzy term is used for each
item.
This proposed algorithm does not find association
rules for items on the same paths in given hierarchy
trees.
Discussion and Conclusions


We will therefore attempt to dynamically
adjust the membership functions in the
proposed mining algorithm
We will also attempt to design specific datamining models for various problem domains.
