Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) aims to discover informative patterns in large datasets. For transactional data, Association Rule Mining (ARM) is an established approach that facilitates EDA by efficiently generating candidate patterns. Beyond efficient mining, identifying informative rules has also been extensively studied through both objective and subjective interestingness measures. Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) offer new opportunities for assessing subjective interestingness using world knowledge. Nevertheless, relying solely on LLMs raises concerns about scalability and statistical reliability. Building on prior ARM research, we propose a hybrid framework, DiSARM, that leverages the world knowledge of LLMs to assess the subjective interestingness of rules, while maintaining statistical reliability and promoting diversity among the selected rules. Across three transactional datasets, experiments demonstrate that DiSARM effectively combines statistical reliability with surprise and diversity, offering a promising approach to ADE from transactional data.
