Abstract

In data mining, the quality of prediction rules basically involve three criteria: accuracy, comprehensible and interestingness. The majority of the rule induction, literature focuses on discovering accurate, comprehensible rules. In this paper we also take these two criteria into account, but we go beyond them in the sense that we aim at discovering rules that are interesting (surprising) for the user. The search is performed by distributed genetic algorithm (DGA) specifically designed to the discovery of interesting rules.
