Intervention of Human Heuristics In the Data Mining Process

The Role of Human Heuristics in Data Mining

Abstract

A number of data mining algorithms have been introducedto the community that perform summarisation and classification of data withrespect to a target attribute, deviation detection, and other forms of datacharacterisation and interpretation. One popular summarisation and patternextraction algorithm is the association rule algorithm. Association rule isdescribed as an associational relationship between a group of objects in a transactionaldatabase [Zhang S. et.al., 2006]. The following discussion shall be useful toJustify the intervention of human heuristics in the data mining process.
