In order to discover new, surprising, interesting patterns hidden in data, peculiarity oriented mining and multi-database mining are required. In the paper, we introduce peculiarity rules as new class of rules, which can be discovered from relatively low number of peculiar data by searching the relevance among the peculiar data. We give formal interpretation and comparison of three classes of rules: association rules, exception rules, and peculiarity rules, as well as describe how to mine more interesting peculiarity rules in multiple databases.
