Abstract:

This paper points out the bottleneck of classical Apriori algorithm, presents an improved association rule mining algorithm based on Apriori algorithm.The new algorithm is based on pruing away the itemsets whose support degree is less than minsupport to reduce the number of itemsets in the transaction database. At the same time the new algorithm change the candidate_gen function to generate a continuous access page. According to the running result of the algorithm, the processing time of mining is decreased and the efficiency of algorithm has improved.Whats more, the new algorithm can find the learners frequent traversal path to improve the intelligence of the distance education platform. Keywords: Associaion Rules;Apriori Algorithm; Frequent Traversal Path;Distance Education Platform
