Abstract
One of the major challenges in knowledge discovery is how to extract
meaningful and useful knowledge from the complex structured data that
one finds in Scientific and Technological applications. One approach
is to explore the logic relations in the database and using, say, an
Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) algorithm find descriptive and
expressive patterns. These patterns can then be used as features to
characterize the target concept. The effectiveness of these algorithms
depends both upon the algorithm we use to generate the patterns and
upon the classifier. Rule mining provides an excellent framework for
efficiently mining the interesting patterns that are relevant. We
propose a novel method to select discriminative patterns and evaluate
the effectiveness of this method on a complex discovery application of
practical interest.
