Requirement gathering is a vital step in software engineering. Even though many recent researches concentrated on the improvement of the requirement gathering process, many of their works lack completeness especially when the number of users is large. Data Mining techniques have been recently employed in various domains with promising results. In this work, we propose an intelligent recommender system for requirement engineering based on association rule analysis, which is a main category in Data Mining. Such recommender would contribute in enhancing the accuracy of the gathered requirements and provide more comprehensive results. Conducted experiments in this work prove that FP Growth outperformed Apriori in terms of execution and space consumption, while both methods were efficient in term of accuracy.

Most people think of a library as the little brick building in the heart of their community or the big brick building in the center of a campus. These notions greatly oversimplify the world of libraries, however. Most large commercial organizations have dedicated in-house library operations, as do schools, non-governmental organizations, as well as local, state, and federal governments. With the increasing use of the Internet and the World Wide Web, digital libraries have burgeoned, and these serve a huge variety of different user audiences. With this expanded view of libraries, two key insights arise. First, libraries are typically embedded within larger institutions. Corporate libraries serve their corporations, academic libraries serve their universities, and public libraries serve taxpaying communities who elect overseeing representatives. Second, libraries play a pivotal role within their institutions as repositories and providers of information resources. In the provider role, libraries represent in microcosm the intellectual and learning activities of the people who comprise the institution. This fact provides the basis for the strategic importance of library data mining: By ascertaining what users are seeking, bibliomining can reveal insights that have meaning in the context of the library’s host institution. Use of data mining to examine library data might be aptly termed bibliomining. With widespread adoption of computerized catalogs and search facilities over the past quarter century, library and information scientists have often used bibliometric methods (e.g., the discovery of patterns in authorship and citation within a field) to explore patterns in bibliographic information. During the same period, various researchers have developed and tested data mining techniques—advanced statistical and visualization methods to locate non-trivial patterns in large data sets. Bibliomining refers to the use of these bibliometric and data mining techniques to explore the enormous quantities of data generated by the typical automated library.

The concept of Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationship (QSAR), introduced by Hansch and co-workers in the 1960s, attempts to discover the relationship between the structure and the activity of chemical compounds (SAR), in order to allow the prediction of the activity of new compounds based on knowledge of their chemical structure alone. These predictions can be achieved by quantifying the SAR. Initially, statistical methods have been applied to solve the QSAR problem. For example, pattern recognition techniques facilitate data dimension reduction and transformation techniques from multiple experiments to the underlying patterns of information. Partial least squares (PLS) is used for performing the same operations on the target properties. The predictive ability of this method can be tested using cross-validation on the test set of compounds. Later, data mining techniques have been considered for this prediction problem. Among data mining techniques, the most popular ones are based on neural networks (Wang, Durst, Eberhart, Boyd, & Ben-Miled, 2004) or on neuro-fuzzy approaches (Neagu, Benfenati, Gini, Mazzatorta, & Roncaglioni, 2002) or on genetic programming (Langdon, &Barrett, 2004). All these approaches predict the activity of a chemical compound, without being able to explain the predicted value. In order to increase the understanding on the prediction process, descriptive data mining techniques have started to be used related to the QSAR problem. These techniques are based on association rule mining. In this chapter, we describe the use of association rule-based approaches related to the QSAR problem.

Both visualization and data mining have become important tools in discovering hidden relationships in large data sets, and in extracting useful knowledge and information from large databases. Even though many algorithms for mining association rules have been researched extensively in the past decade, they do not incorporate users in the association-rule mining process. Most of these algorithms generate a large number of association rules, some of which are not practically interesting. This chapter presents a new technique that integrates visualization into the mining association rule process. Users can apply their knowledge and be involved in finding interesting association rules through interactive visualization, after obtaining visual feedback as the algorithm generates association rules. In addition, the users gain insight and deeper understanding of their data sets, as well as control over mining meaningful association rules.

The objective of this article is an evaluation and assessment efficiency of the poultry meat farm as a case study with the new method. As it is clear poultry farm industry is one of the most important sub- sectors in comparison to other ones. The purpose of this study is the prediction and assessment efficiency of poultry farms as decision making units (DMUs). Although, several methods have been proposed for solving this problem, the authors strongly need a methodology to discriminate performance powerfully. Their methodology is comprised of data envelopment analysis and some data mining techniques same as artificial neural network (ANN), decision tree (DT), and cluster analysis (CA). As a case study, data for the analysis were collected from 22 poultry companies in Iran. Moreover, due to a small data set and because of the fact that the authors must use large data set for applying data mining techniques, they employed k-fold cross validation method to validate the authors’ model. After assessing efficiency for each DMU and clustering them, followed by applied model and after presenting decision rules, results in precise and accurate optimizing technique.

Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) are a major public concern, resulting in an estimated 1.2 million deaths and 50 million injuries worldwide each year. In the developing world, RTAs are among the leading cause of death and injury. Most of the analysis of road accident uses data mining techniques which provide productive results. The analysis of the accident locations can help in identifying certain road accident features that make a road accident to occur frequently in the locations. Association rule mining is one of the popular data mining techniques that identify the correlation in various attributes of road accident. Data analysis has the capability to identify different reasons behind road accidents. In the existing system, k-means algorithm is applied to group the accident locations into three clusters. Then the association rule mining is used to characterize the locations. Most state of the art traffic management and information systems focus on data analysis and very few have been done in the sense of classification. So, the proposed system uses classification technique to predict the severity of the accident which will bring out the factors behind road accidents that occurred and a predictive model is constructed using fuzzy logic to predict the location wise accident frequency.
