Some problems of mining association rules with linguistic terms are discussed. First, an incremental updating algorithm of association rules with linguistic terms is presented. The collection of frequent linguistic attribute sets and its negative border along with their support count are maintained, which makes scan the entire database once at most in the process of updating association rules. The experiment shows that the updating algorithm can not only update association rules effectively but also avoid the repeated cost. Secondly, the parallel algorithm for mining association rules with linguistic terms is presented. The Boolean parallel mining algorithm is improved to discover frequent linguistic attribute sets, and the association rules with at least confidence are generated on all processors. This parallel mining algorithm has fine scaleup, sizeup and speedup.
