Abstract
We propose two algorithms for grouping and summariz-
ing association rules. The first algorithm recursively groups
rules according to the structure of the rules and generates
a tree of clusters as a result. The second algorithm groups
the rules according to the semantic distance between the
rules by making use of an autometically tagged semantic
tree-structured network of items. We provide a case study in
which the proposed algorithms are evaluated. The results
