Abstract

It is a big challenge to guarantee the quality of association rules in some application areas (e.g., in information gathering) since duplications and ambiguities of data values (terms). This paper presents a novel concept of rough association rules to improve the quality of discovered knowledge. The precondition of a rough association rule consists of a set of terms (items) and a weight distribution of terms (items). The distinct advantage of rough association rules is that they contain more specific information than normal association rules.
