Abstract
This work explores the development of action rules for changing the prices of works of contemporary fine art. We used LISp-Miner to generate action rules related to artwork profiles and developed attributes covering artist descriptions and visual features of the artwork. We focus heavily on developing a method for partitioning a dataset to produce an increase in the coverage of the rule sets.
