Preserving Privacy in Mining Quantitative Associations Rules

Association rule mining is an important data mining method that has been studied extensively by the academic community and has been applied in practice. In the context of association rule mining, the state-of-the-art in privacy preserving data mining provides solutions for categorical and Boolean association rules but not for quantitative association rules. This article fills this gap by describing a method based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to protect input data privacy while preserving data mining patterns for association rules. A comparison with an existing kd-tree based transform shows that the DWT-based method fares better in terms of efficiency, preserving patterns, and privacy.

High Computational Cost

The problem of association rule mining was introduced in 1993 (Agrawal et al., 1993). Since then, it has been the subject of numerous studies. Most of these studies focused on either performance issues or functionality issues. The former considered how to compute association rules efficiently, whereas the latter considered what kinds of rules to compute. Examples of the former include the Apriori-based mining framework (Agrawal & Srikant, 1994), its performance enhancements (Park et al., 1997; Leung et al., 2002), and the tree-based mining framework (Han et al., 2000); examples of the latter include extensions of the initial notion of association rules to other rules such as dependence rules (Silverstein et al., 1998) and ratio rules (Korn et al., 1998). In general, most of these studies basically considered the data mining exercise in isolation. They did not explore how data mining can interact with the human user, which is a key component in the broader picture of knowledge discovery in databases. Hence, they provided little or no support for user focus. Consequently, the user usually needs to wait for a long period of time to get numerous association rules, out of which only a small fraction may be interesting to the user. In other words, the user often incurs a high computational cost that is disproportionate to what he wants to get. This calls for constraint-based association rule mining.

Quantitative Association Rule

Association rule mining among frequent items has been extensively studied in data mining research. However, in recent years, there is an increasing demand for mining infrequent items (such as rare but expensive items). Since exploring interesting relationships among infrequent items has not been discussed much in the literature, in this chapter, the authors propose two simple, practical and effective schemes to mine association rules among rare items. Their algorithms can also be applied to frequent items with bounded length. Experiments are performed on the well-known IBM synthetic database. The authors’ schemes compare favorably to Apriori and FP-growth under the situation being evaluated. In addition, they explore quantitative association rule mining in transactional databases among infrequent items by associating quantities of items: some interesting examples are drawn to illustrate the significance of such mining.

Association Rule Miner

Collaborative filtering uses data mining and analysis to develop a system that helps users make appropriate decisions in real-life applications by removing redundant information and providing valuable to information users. Data mining aims to extract from data the implicit, previously unknown and potentially useful information such as association rules that reveals relationships between frequently co-occurring patterns in antecedent and consequent parts of association rules. This chapter presents an algorithm called CF-Miner for collaborative filtering with association rule miner. The CF-Miner algorithm first constructs bitwise data structures to capture important contents in the data. It then finds frequent patterns from the bitwise structures. Based on the mined frequent patterns, the algorithm forms association rules. Finally, the algorithm ranks the mined association rules to recommend appropriate merchandise products, goods or services to users. Evaluation results show the effectiveness of CF-Miner in using association rule mining in collaborative filtering.

In this paper, we provide a review of studies on PPDM in the context of association rules (PPARM). This paper systematically defines the scope of this survey and determines the PPARM models. The problems of each model are formally described, and we discuss the relevant approaches, techniques and algorithms that have been proposed in the literature. A profile of each model and the accompanying algorithms are provided with a comparison of the PPARM models.

Purpose Nowadays, database management system has been applied in library management, and a great number of data about readers’ visiting history to resources have been accumulated by libraries. A lot of important information is concealed behind such data. The purpose of this paper is to use a typical data mining (DM) technology named an association rule mining model to find out borrowing rules of readers according to their borrowing records, and to recommend other booklists for them in a personalized way, so as to increase utilization rate of data resources at library. Design/methodology/approach Association rule mining algorithm is applied to find out borrowing rules of readers according to their borrowing records, and to recommend other booklists for them in a personalized way, so as to increase utilization rate of data resources at library. Findings Through an analysis on record of book borrowing by readers, library manager can recommend books that may be interested by a reader based on historical borrowing records or current book-borrowing records of the reader. Research limitations/implications If many different categories of book-borrowing problems are involved, it will result in large length of encoding as well as giant searching space. Therefore, future research work may be considered in the following aspects: introduce clustering method; and apply association rule mining method to procurement of book resources and layout of books. Practical implications The paper provides a helpful inspiration for Big Data mining and software development, which will improve their efficiency and insight on users’ behavior and psychology. Social implications The paper proposes a framework to help users understand others’ behavior, which will aid them better take part in group and community with more contribution and delightedness. Originality/value DM technology has been used to discover information concealed behind Big Data in library; the library personalized recommendation problem has been analyzed and formulated deeply; and a method of improved association rules combined with artificial bee colony algorithm has been presented.

<div>Association rule mining is a well-known data mining technique used for extracting hidden correlations between data items in large databases. In the majority of the situations, data mining results contain sensitive information about individuals and publishing such data will violate individual secrecy. The challenge of association rule mining is to preserve the confidentiality of sensitive rules when releasing the database to external parties. The association rule hiding technique conceals the knowledge extracted by the sensitive association rules by modifying the database. In this paper, we introduce a border-based algorithm for hiding sensitive association rules. The main purpose of this approach is to conceal the sensitive rule set while maintaining the utility of the database and association rule mining results at the highest level. The performance of the algorithm in terms of the side effects is demonstrated using experiments conducted on two real datasets. The results show that the information loss is minimized without sacrificing the accuracy. </div>
