The use of constraints requires mechanisms for defining and evaluating them during the knowledge extraction process. We give a structured account of three main groups of constraints based on the specific context in which they are defined and used. The aim is to provide a complete view on constraints as a building block of data mining methods.1 aGrossi, Valerio1 aPedreschi, Dino1 aTurini, Franco  uhttps://kdd.isti.cnr.it/publications/data-mining-and-constraints-overview
