Association rule mining is an exploratory learning task to discover some hidden dependency relationships among items in transaction data. Quantitative association rules denote association rules with both categorical and quantitative attributes. There have been several works on quantitative association rule mining such as the application of fuzzy techniques to quantitative association rule mining, the generalized association rule mining for quantitative association rules, and importance weight incorporation into association rule mining fer taking into account the users interest. This paper introduces a new method for generalized fuzzy quantitative association rule mining with importance weights. The method uses fuzzy concept hierarchies fer categorical attributes and generalization hierarchies of fuzzy linguistic terms fur quantitative attributes. It enables the users to flexibly perform the association rule mining by controlling the generalization levels for attributes and the importance weights f3r attributes.

In this paper, we introduce the hybrid data mining mechanism based in association rule and fuzzy neural networks (FNN). Most of data mining mechanisms are depended in the association rule extraction algorithm. However, the basic association rule-based data mining has not the learning ability. In addition, sequential patterns of association rules could not represent the complicate fuzzy logic. To resolve these problems, we suggest the hybrid mechanism using association rule-based data mining, and fuzzy neural networks. Our hybrid data mining mechanism was consisted of four phases. First, we used general association rule mining mechanism to develop the initial rule-base. Then, in the second phase, we used the fuzzy neural networks to learn the past historical patterns embedded in the database. Third, fuzzy rule extraction algorithm was used to extract the implicit knowledge from the FNN. Fourth, we combine the association knowledge base and fuzzy rules. Our proposed hybrid data mining mechanism can reflect both association rule-based logical inference and complicate fuzzy logic.

This paper presents a hybrid data mining mechanism to extract expert knowledge from historical data and extend expert systems' reasoning capabilities by using fuzzy neural network (FNN)-based learning & rule extraction algorithm. Our hybrid data mining mechanism is based on association rule extraction mechanism, FNN learning and fuzzy rule extraction algorithm. Most of traditional data mining mechanisms are depended ()n association rule extraction algorithm. However, the basic association rule-based data mining systems has not the learning ability. Therefore, there is a problem to extend the knowledge base adaptively. In addition, sequential patterns of association rules can`t represent the complicate fuzzy logic in real-world. To resolve these problems, we suggest the hybrid data mining mechanism based on association rule-based data mining, FNN learning and fuzzy rule extraction algorithm. Our hybrid data mining mechanism is consisted of four phases. First, we use general association rule mining mechanism to develop an initial rule base. Then, in the second phase, we adopt the FNN learning algorithm to extract the hidden relationships or patterns embedded in the historical data. Third, after the learning of FNN, the fuzzy rule extraction algorithm will be used to extract the implicit knowledge from the FNN. Fourth, we will combine the association rules (initial rule base) and fuzzy rules. Implementation results show that the hybrid data mining mechanism can reflect both association rule-based knowledge extraction and FNN-based knowledge extension.

본 논문에서는 기존의 LCMS에서 사용되는 평가시스템에 퍼지 추론 규칙을 이용한 적응형 퍼지평가시스템(AFES ; Adaptie Fuzzy Evaluation System)을 제안한다. AFES 는 학습자가 하나의 학습코스(learning course)에 들어가기 전에 퍼지진단평가(fuzzy diagnostic evealuation)를 통해 학습자에게 코스수준(course level)을 부여한다. 학습자는 코스수준에 따른 맞춤식 학습경로(learning path)로 학습을 종료한 후, 퍼지최종평가(fuzzy final evaluation)를 통해 최종성적(final grade)을 AFES 으로부터 부여 받는다. AFES의 가장 큰 특징은 최종성적의 점수 부여 규칙에 있는데, 만약 서로 다른 학습자가 동일한 문제 수에 대하여 같은 수의 정답을 냈더라도, AFES 는 125 가지 퍼지 추론 규칙(fuzzy reasoning rule)에 의거하여 탄력적으로 서로 다른 최종성적을 학습자에게 부여한다.

The interest of data mining in artificial intelligence with fuzzy logic has been increased. Data mining is a process of extracting desirable knowledge and interesting pattern ken large data set. Because of expansion of WWW, web data is more and more huge. Besides mining web contents and web structures, another important task for web mining is web usage mining which mines web log data to discover user access pattern. The goal of web usage mining in this paper is to find interesting user pattern in the web with user feedback. It is very important to find user's characteristic fer e-business environment. In Customer Relationship Management, recommending product and sending e-mail to user by extracted users characteristics are needed. Using our method, we extract user profile from the result of web usage mining. In this research, we concentrate on finding association rules and verify validity of them. The proposed procedure can integrate fuzzy set concept and association rule. Fuzzy association rule uses given server log file and performs several preprocessing tasks. Extracted transaction files are used to find rules by fuzzy web usage mining. To verify the validity of user's feedback, the web log data from our laboratory web server.

Due to the increasing use of very large databases, mining useful information and implicit knowledge from databases is evolving. However, most conventional data mining algorithms identify the relationship among features using binary values (TRUE/FALSE or 0/1) and find simple If-THEN rules at a single concept level. Therefore, implicit knowledge and causal relationships among features are commonly seen in real-world database and applications. In this paper, we thus introduce the mechanism of mining fuzzy association rules and constructing causal knowledge base form database. Acausal knowledge base construction algorithm based on Fuzzy Cognitive Map(FCM) and Srikant and Agrawal's association rule extraction method were proposed for extracting implicit causal knowledge from database. Fuzzy association rules are well suited for the thinking of human subjects and will help to increase the flexibility for supporting users in making decisions or designing the fuzzy systems. It integrates fuzzy set concept and causal knowledge-based data mining technologies to achieve this purpose. The proposed mechanism consists of three phases: First, adaptation of the fuzzy membership function to the database. Second, extraction of the fuzzy association rules using fuzzy input values. Third, building the causal knowledge base. A credit example is presented to illustrate a detailed process for finding the fuzzy association rules from a specified database, demonstration the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

연관규칙 마이닝은 여러 테이블에 숨겨진 패턴들의 관계를 나타내주는 방법이다. 요즈음에는 연관규칙 마이닝에 보다 세부적인 의미를 추가하기 위하여 과립화 논리를 이용하고 있다. 또한 기존의 데이터를 이용하여 추천하는 기존의 시스템과는 달리 과립화 연관규칙에서는 신규 가입자나 신규상품에 대한 추천의 경우도 가능하다. 따라서 연관규칙의 과립화의 정성적인 크기를 결정하는 것이 추천 시스템의 성능을 좌우한다. 본 논문에서는 관람자가 평가한 영화에 대한 관계를 파악하기 위하여 퍼지논리와 샤논 엔트로피 개념을 이용하여 관람자와 영화데이터에 대한 과립화 방법을 제안한다. 연구는 관람자와 영화간의 연관규칙의 함의에 결정적인 역할을 하는 데이터의 과립화의 크기를 결정하는 부분과 이러한 과립화를 이용하여 관람자와 영화간의 연관규칙을 추출하는 두 번째 부분으로 구성되어 있으며 넷플릭스의 MovieLens데이터를 이용하여 분석하였다. 최종적으로 도출된 연관규칙의 의미와 추천의 정확도 및 고려해야하는 함의를 제시하였다.

In this research, we propose the mechanism to develop self-evolving expert systems (SEES) based on data mining (DM), fuzzy neural networks (FNN), and relational database (RDB)-driven forward/backward inference engine. Most researchers had tried to develop a text-oriented knowledge base (KB) and inference engine (IE). However, this approach had some limitations such as 1) automatic rule extraction, 2) manipulation of ambiguousness in knowledge, 3) expandability of knowledge base, and 4) speed of inference. To overcome these limitations, knowledge engineers had tried to develop an automatic knowledge extraction mechanism. As a result, the adaptability of the expert systems was improved. Nonetheless, they didn't suggest a hybrid and generalized solution to develop self-evolving expert systems. To this purpose, we propose an automatic knowledge acquisition and composite inference mechanism based on DM, FNN, and RDB-driven inference engine. Our proposed mechanism has five advantages. First, it can extract and reduce the specific domain knowledge from incomplete database by using data mining technology. Second, our proposed mechanism can manipulate the ambiguousness in knowledge by using fuzzy membership functions. Third, it can construct the relational knowledge base and expand the knowledge base unlimitedly with RDBMS (relational database management systems) module. Fourth, our proposed hybrid data mining mechanism can reflect both association rule-based logical inference and complicate fuzzy relationships. Fifth, RDB-driven forward and backward inference time is shorter than the traditional text-oriented inference time.
