Fast And Accurate Rule Selection For Interpretable Decision Sets

An IDS generator determines multiple classes for electronic data items. The IDS generator determines, for each class, a class-specific candidate ruleset. The IDS generator performs a differential analysis of each class-specific candidate ruleset. The differential analysis is based on differences between result values of a scoring objective function. In some cases, the differential analysis determines at least one of the differences based on additional data structures, such as an augmented frequent-pattern tree. A probability function based on the differences is compared to a threshold probability At least one testing ruleset is modified based on the comparison. The IDS generator determines, for each class, a class-specific optimized ruleset based on the differential analysis of each class-specific candidate ruleset. The IDS generator creates an optimized interpretable decision set based on combined class-specific optimized rulesets for the multiple classes.
