Abstract: An actionable clustering algorithm based on strong association rules (AC_SAR) was proposed. The AC_SAR algorithm looked for strong associated objects for each object, and then some relevant rules were deleted and merged by the anti-symmetric principle and the connectivity principle. The connected sub-graphs (clusters) related to all objects in transaction database were discovered finally. Compared with the traditional algorithms, the AC_SAR algorithm did not need to set the thresholds by user, and there were not redundant rules in the results. Moreover, the intermediate mined results and the final generated clusters could solve the problems in many fields effectively. A large number of experiments showed that the AC_SAR algorithm had higher efficiency, higher accuracy, and stronger action.

Key words: clustering, actionable, strong relevance principle, connectivity principle, strong association rules, anti-symmetry principle
