Semantic Analytical Reports: A Framework for Post-processing Data Mining Results

  • Conference paper
Foundations of Intelligent Systems (ISMIS 2009)

Abstract

Intelligent post-processing of data mining results can provide valuable knowledge. In this paper we present the first systematic solution to post-processing that is based on semantic web technologies. The framework input is constituted by PMML and description of background knowledge. Using the Topic Maps formalism, a generic Data Mining ontology and Association Rule Mining ontology were designed. Through combination of a content management system and a semantic knowledge base, the analyst can enter new pieces of information or interlink existing ones. The information is accessible either via semi-automatically authored textual analytical reports or via semantic querying. A prototype implementation of the framework for generalized association rules is demonstrated on the PKDD’99 Financial Data Set.
