Abstract

Deviation detection is an important problem of both data and text mining. In this paper we consider the detection of deviations in a set of texts represented as conceptual graphs. In contrast with statistical and distance-based approaches, the method we propose is based on the concept of generalization and regularity. Among its main characteristics are the detection of rare patterns (that attempt to give a generalized description of rare texts) and the ability to discover local deviations (deviations at different contexts and generalization levels). The method is illustrated with the analysis of a set of computer science papers.
