Abstract

In this paper, we present evaluations of learning algorithms for a novel rule evaluation support method in data mining post-processing, which is one of the key processes in a data mining process. It is difficult for human experts to evaluate many thousands of rules from a large dataset with noises completely. To reduce the costs of rule evaluation task, we have developed the rule evaluation support method with rule evaluation models, which are learned from a dataset consisted of objective indices and evaluations of a human expert for each rule. To enhance adaptability of rule evaluation models, we introduced a constructive meta-learning system to choose proper learning algorithms for constructing them. Then, we have done a case study on the meningitis data mining result, the hepatitis data mining results and rule sets from the eight UCI datasets.
