Classification Based on Association Rules Algorithm for Breast Cancer

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper presents a new association rule-based data mining technique for classifying breast cancer, emphasizing early detection. It introduces a weighted classification approach that uses three core algorithms: Rule Generation, Rule Pruning, and Rule Prediction. The method identifies frequent itemsets, prunes rules into major and minor groups, and applies the pruned rules to classify test data, demonstrating feasibility and performance on several samples.

From Latent Biomarkers to Clinical Rules: Embedding-Guided Rule Mining and Attribution-Based Translation for Interpretable Tabular Learning

The paper introduces a four-step pipeline that mines decision rules in the latent space of an FT-Transformer and then translates those rules back into measurable clinical features. By treating embedding dimensions that separate patient groups as latent biomarkers, small decision trees are used to extract rules, which are then mapped to raw features using gradient-input saliency and CLS attention attribution. Across six public clinical datasets, the translated rules generally outperformed raw-feature rules, achieving significant AUROC gains, though some high-performing latent rules could not be fully captured by simple raw-feature conditions.
