Abstract

This paper reports our progress on interesting pattern discovery in the discovery science project. We first introduce undirected discovery of exception rules, in which a pattern represents a pair of an exception rule and its corresponding strong rule. Then, we explain scheduled discovery, exception rule discovery guided by a meta-pattern, and data mining contests as our contribution to the project. These can be classified as pattern search, pattern representation, and scheme justification from the viewpoint of research topics in interesting pattern discovery.
