Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical perspective on patterns derived from epistemology and theory of science. We argue that patterns are specific kinds of theories and that the process of pattern mining is similar to scientific discovery. Exploring the concepts induction, deduction and abduction with respect to patterns, we reflect upon common methods of pattern mining in the pattern community. This allows for a critical discussion of the level of confidence and corroboration of patterns. We suggest new research questions on the mining and evaluation of patterns.
