Informative rules have recently been studied in several contexts, including data summarization, data cube exploration and data quality. The objective is to produce a concise set of rules (patterns) over the values of the dimension attributes that provide the most information about the distribution of a numeric measure attribute. SIRUM optimizes this task for big, wide and distributed datasets. We implemented SIRUM in Spark and observed significant performance improvements on real data due to our optimizations.enInformative Rule MiningScalable Data Processing SystemsMaster Thesis
