An induction-based compaction of sets of association rules among Web concepts

Association rules are nowadays regarded as robust vehicles for creating Web recommendations. We present an induction-based technique for creating a compact representation of sets of association rules, particularly intended for publishing the compact representation in the Web. Our technique efficiently induces a defeasible logic program from a set of association rules, in a manner that the complete set of the given associations can be concluded, when integrating the induced compact program within a defeasible logic reasoning framework.
