The document discusses attribute ontological relational weights (AORW), a post-mining process for pruning association rules. It aims to overcome limitations of prior approaches that rely on closed itemset mining or expert evaluation.
The proposed AORW process begins by measuring the property support degree of each attribute in a given rule based on an XML descriptor of attribute classes/relations. It then measures the attribute relation support of attribute pairs to determine how relationally coherent the attributes are. Rules with incoherent attribute pairs would be pruned.
Prior work on post-mining of association rules is also discussed, including approaches based on closed itemsets, rule clustering, domain knowledge models, and continuous post-mining of data streams
