  • Abstract
    One of the challenges of knowledge discovery is identifying patterns that are interesting, with novelty an important component of interestingness. Another important aspect of knowledge discovery is making efficient use of background knowledge. This paper develops a definition of novelty relative to a prior model of the domain. The definition of novelty is tested using pneumonia outcome data and a prior model of pneumonia severity
