Abstract

Genetic algorithm is an important algorithm of association rule mining. However, there is some issues that genetic algorithm easy to lead prematuring convergence and into the plight of local optimum, or convergence too much time and consume a large amount of time to search. For resolving this issues, the paper improves the algorithm through adopting an adaptive mutation rate and improving the methods of individual choice, and the improved genetic algorithm that applies to the mining association rules. The simulating experiments show that the improved genetic algorithm reduces the cost of computing, and improve the efficiency of association rule mining.
