Papers on Emerging Patterns, Changes, and Contrasts/Differences
This is a list of papers on (i) the mining of emerging patterns (EPs), contrast/difference patterns, and change patterns; (ii) the application of such patterns to classification; (iii) the application of such patterns to various contexts (e.g. microarray gene expression data analysis, rare event identificaiton, intrusion detection, etc). The mining of the pattern types listed above can be viewed as special cases of comparative data mining, whose aim is to mine patterns relating twoor more given datasets.
Emerging patterns were originally introduced in (Dong+Li 99). The first emerging pattern based classification paper was (Dong+Zhang+Wong+Li 99). The first papers applying emerging patterns to microarray gene expression data analysis were (Li+Wong 01; Li+Wong 02).
The list is divided into three sections.
