Methods for concept analysis and multi-relational data mining: a systematic literature review

연구 분야: Databases

학회: Knowledge and Information Systems

The Internet of Things massive adoption in many industrial areas in addition to the requirement of modern services is posing huge challenges to the field of data mining. Moreover, the semantic interoperability of systems and enterprises requires to operate between many different formats such as ontologies, knowledge graphs, or relational databases, as well as different contexts such as static, dynamic, or real time. Consequently, supporting this semantic interoperability requires a wide range of knowledge discovery methods with different capabilities that answer to the context of distributed architectures (DA). However, to the best of our knowledge there is no general review in recent time about the state of the art of Concept Analysis (CA) and multi-relational data mining (MRDM) methods regarding knowledge discovery in DA considering semantic interoperability. In this work, a systematic literature review on CA and MRDM is conducted, providing a discussion on the characteristics they have according to the papers reviewed, supported by a clusterization technique based on association rules. Moreover, the review allowed the identification of three research gaps toward a more scalable set of methods in the context of DA and heterogeneous sources.
