Customer contacts to various businesses identified in telecom call records convey their interest in availing those services. Multi-dimensional attribute dependence with day and time of such communications generate useful insights for targeted advertising. Also, frequent and significant inter patterns of service associations give the probability that takers of one service may also be the prospects of the other. This work presents a multi granulation rough sets model to address the issue of prospect discovery from interest traits depicted in call records. The proposed method solves problems like higher computational complexity and large statistically insignificant patterns space inherent in traditional intra and inter-pattern mining methods. The algorithm is tested to generate target audience for food and restaurant business using one-month data of anonymous call records of a Thailand based telecom service provider. Some interesting mathematical properties of underlying knowledge structures are also validated.References
