Abstract: Knowledge in an information system evolves with its dynamical
environment. A new concept of interesting knowledge based on both accuracy and
coverage is defined in this paper for dynamic information systems. An
incremental model and approach as well as its algorithm for inducing
interesting knowledge are proposed when the object set varies over time. A case
study validates the feasibility of the proposed method.
Keywords: Rough sets, interesting knowledge, accuracy, coverage, dynamic information systems, data mining
