Concept discovery is a multi-relational data mining task for inducing definitions of a specific relation in terms of other relations in the data set. Such learning tasks usually have to deal with large search spaces and hence have efficiency and scalability issues. In this paper, we present a hybrid approach that combines association rule mining methods and graph-based approaches to cope with these issues. The proposed method inputs the data in relational format, converts it into a graph representation, and traverses the graph to find the concept descriptors. Graph traversal and pruning are guided based on association rule mining techniques. The proposed method distinguishes from the state-of-the art methods as it can work on n-ary relations, it uses path finding queries to extract concepts and can handle numeric values. Experimental results show that the method is superior to the state-of-the art methods in terms of accuracy and the coverage of the induced concept descriptors and the running time.

A Path-Finding Based Method for Concept Discovery in Graphs Abay, Nazmiye Ceren; Mutlu, Alev; Karagöz, Pınar (2015-07-08) In the multi-relational data mining, concept discovery is the problem of inducing definitions of a relation in terms of other relations provided. In this paper, we present a method that combines graph-based and association rule mining-based methods for concept discovery in graphs. The proposed method is related to graphs as the data, which is initially stored in a relational database, is represented as a graph and concept descriptors are the paths that connect certain vertices; and it is related to associat...
A Counting-Based Heuristic for ILP-Based Concept Discovery Systems Mutlu, Alev; Karagöz, Pınar; Kavurucu, Yusuf (2013-09-13) Concept discovery systems are concerned with learning definitions of a specific relation in terms of other relations provided as background knowledge. Although such systems have a history of more than 20 years and successful applications in various domains, they are still vulnerable to scalability and efficiency issues - mainly due to large search spaces they build. In this study we propose a heuristic to select a target instance that will lead to smaller search space without sacrificing the accuracy. The p...
An ilp-based concept discovery system for multi-relational data mining Kavurucu, Yusuf; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) Multi Relational Data Mining has become popular due to the limitations of propositional problem definition in structured domains and the tendency of storing data in relational databases. However, as patterns involve multiple relations, the search space of possible hypothesis becomes intractably complex. In order to cope with this problem, several relational knowledge discovery systems have been developed employing various search strategies, heuristics and language pattern limitations. In this thesis, Induct...
Improving the scalability of ILP-based multi-relational concept discovery system through parallelization Mutlu, Ayşe Ceyda; Karagöz, Pınar; Kavurucu, Yusuf (2012-03-01) Due to the increase in the amount of relational data that is being collected and the limitations of propositional problem definition in relational domains, multi-relational data mining has arisen to be able to extract patterns from relational data. In order to cope with intractably large search space and still to be able to generate high-quality patterns. ILP-based multi-relational data mining and concept discovery systems employ several search strategies and pattern limitations. Another direction to cope w...
A Methodology to Implement Box-Cox Transformation When No Covariate is Available Dag, Osman; Asar, Ozgur; İlk Dağ, Özlem (2014-01-01) Box-Cox transformation is one of the most commonly used methodologies when data do not follow normal distribution. However, its use is restricted since it usually requires the availability of covariates. In this article, the use of a non-informative auxiliary variable is proposed for the implementation of Box-Cox transformation. Simulation studies are conducted to illustrate that the proposed approach is successful in attaining normality under different sample sizes and most of the distributions and in esti...
