Mining Generalized Association Rules

Summary: Mining generalized association rules with item taxonomies; proposes Cumulate and EstMerge to avoid full ancestor expansion, achieving 2–5× speedups (often >100×). Introduces a taxonomy-aware interest measure that prunes 40–60% of rules, reducing redundancy. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
