Cluster-Grouping: From Subgroup Discovery to Clustering

Abstract

We introduce the problem of cluster-grouping and show that it can be considered a subtask in several important data mining tasks, such as subgroup discovery , mining correlated patterns, clustering and classification . The algorithm CG for solving cluster-grouping problems is then introduced, and it is incorporated as a component in several existing and novel algorithms for tackling subgroup discovery , clustering and classification . The resulting systems are empirically compared to state-of-the-art systems such as CN2, CBA, Ripper, Autoclass and CobWeb. The results indicate that the CG algorithm can be useful as a generic local pattern mining component in a wide variety of data mining and machine learning algorithms.
