Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method, comprising: applying a first data mining algorithm in the computer to a data set including multiple records to generate a first set of data rules for the data set, wherein each record in the data set has a record format including a plurality of fields; applying a second data mining algorithm in the computer to the data set to generate a second set of data rules, wherein each rule in the first and second sets of data rules provides a predicted condition for one field based on at least one predictor condition in at least one other field, wherein the first and second data mining algorithms comprise different algorithms that generate rules using different algorithms and generate different types of models to build the sets of data rules; providing the generated first and second sets of data rules to a user interface presented by the computer; receiving user input via the user interface to review and edit the generated at least one of the first and second sets of data rules; and storing the reviewed and edited data rules in a rule repository for use to validate data sets having the record format.
