A New SQL-like Operator for Mining Association Rules

Summary: Introduces MINE RULE, a SQL-like operator to express the entire space of association-rule mining problems under a unified model. Demonstrates expressiveness via classical and novel applications and defines its semantics through an extended relational algebra. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
