Cynthia Selvi P, Mohamed Shanavas A R . Knowledge Protection by Subjective Measure. International Journal of Computer Applications. 84, 10 ( December 2013), 23-26. DOI=10.5120/14613-2865
Basically a Data Mining system would generate thousands or even millions of patterns or rules. However all the generated patterns would not actually be interesting to any given user; In fact the interestingness of the patterns would be assessed only on the users' beliefs and expectations which is rather termed as subjective measure. When such interesting patterns are to be shared in a collaborative business environment, it would be more meaningful to restrict them based on the significance of individual items in the patterns to be protected. Hence, this work attempts to hide interesting patterns on the subjective measure and propose an algorithm which is tested for its effectiveness.
