Mining item-item and between-set correlated association rules

To overcome the failure in eliminating suspicious patterns or association rules existing in traditional association rules mining, we propose a novel method to mine item-item and between-set correlated association rules. First, we present three measurements: the association, correlation, and item-set correlation measurements. In the association measurement, the all-confidence measure is used to filter suspicious cross-support patterns, while the all-item-confidence measure is applied in the correlation measurement to eliminate spurious association rules that contain negatively correlated items. Then, we define the item-set correlation measurement and show its corresponding properties. By using this measurement, spurious association rules in which the antecedent and consequent item-sets are negatively correlated can be eliminated. Finally, we propose item-item and between-set correlated association rules and two mining algorithms, I&ISCoMine_AP and I&ISCoMine_CT. Experimental results with synthetic and real retail datasets show that the proposed method is effective and valid.

Construction and Practice of Teaching Evaluation System Based on Data Mining

The teaching quality evaluation system based on data mining technology can accurately and fairly identify the core driving factors to improve teaching quality.This method adopts the analysis of big data correlation rules,including data collection and processing preparation steps,builds the data warehouse of association rules,and then generates an educational quality evaluation framework using the principle of data mining.Based on this,this paper analyzes the construction design and method of the teaching evaluation system under data mining,hoping to provide help for the improvement of the teaching evaluation system and the improvement of teaching quality.
