A Classification Technique using Associative Classification

Abstract

Classification and association rule mining are two basic tasks of Data Mining. Classification rule mining is used to discover a small set of rules in the database to form an accurate classifier. Association rules mining has been used to reveal all interesting relationships in a potentially large database. An Apriori approach, which was used to generate the association rules from frequent patterns, turn out to generate a huge time-intensive query called as iceberg query. Various researches have been done under the Apriori-like approach to improve performance of the frequent pattern mining tasks but the results were not as much as expected due to many scans on the dataset. This project aims to propose a flexible way of mining frequent patterns by extending the idea of the Associative Classification methods. For better performance, the Neural Network Association Classification system is proposed here to be one of the approaches for building accurate and efficient classifiers. In this paper, the Neural Network Association Classification system is used in order to improve its accuracy. The structure of the network reflects the knowledge uncovered in the previous discovery phase. The trained network is then used to classify unseen data. The performance of the Neural Network Associative Classification system is compared with the previous Classification Based Association on four datasets from UCI machine learning repository.

Improved Machine Learning Method for Intracranial Tumor Detection with Accelerated Particle Swarm Optimization

“…Extracting proper features from the images is a significant process for defining effective classification patterns for précised result categorizations. In this work, the feature extraction process is computed with GLCM, which is an effective arithmetic process that uses the spatial pixel similarities for computations [ 32 ]. Based on the pixel intensities of the input images, the spatial similarities between two pixels can be defined as the relationship between the pixel of interest and the adjacent pixel in horizontal positions.…”

Content Based Medical Image Retrieval Using Binary Association Rules

“…Associative rule mining reveals all the consuming relationships in a conceivably large image database. A framework formed with the combination of associative rule mining and classification rule mining in medical image diagnosis called neural network association classification system (Shekhawat and Dhande, 2011). This system is used for the construction of accurate and efficient classifiers and the classification methods could be further enhanced with predictive apriori algorithm.…”
