Mining Frequent Patterns without Candidate Generation: A Frequent-Pattern Tree Approach

Mining frequent patterns in transaction databases, time-series databases, and many other kinds of databases has been studied popularly in data mining research. Most of the previous studies adopt an Apriori-like candidate set generation-and-test approach. However, candidate set generation is still costly, especially when there exist a large number of patterns and/or long patterns.In this study, we propose a novel frequent-pattern tree (FP-tree) structure, which is an extended prefix-tree structure for storing compressed, crucial information about frequent patterns, and develop an efficient FP-tree-based mining method, FP-growth, for mining the complete set of frequent patterns by pattern fragment growth. Efficiency of mining is achieved with three techniques: (1) a large database is compressed into a condensed, smaller data structure, FP-tree which avoids costly, repeated database scans, (2) our FP-tree-based mining adopts a pattern-fragment growth method to avoid the costly generation of a large number of candidate sets, and (3) a partitioning-based, divide-and-conquer method is used to decompose the mining task into a set of smaller tasks for mining confined patterns in conditional databases, which dramatically reduces the search space. Our performance study shows that the FP-growth method is efficient and scalable for mining both long and short frequent patterns, and is about an order of magnitude faster than the Apriori algorithm and also faster than some recently reported new frequent-pattern mining methods.     

Constraint graph-based frequent pattern updating from temporal databases

There have been many kinds of association rule mining (ARM) algorithms, e.g., Apriori and FP-tree, to discover meaningful frequent patterns from a large dataset. Particularly, it is more difficult for such ARM algorithms to be applied for temporal databases which are continuously changing over time. Such algorithms are generally based on repeating time-consuming tasks, e.g., scanning databases. To deal with this problem, in this paper, we propose a constraint graph-based method for maintaining frequent patterns (FP) discovered from the temporal databases. Particularly, the constraint graph, which is represented as a set of constraint between two items, can be established by temporal persistency of the patterns. It means that some patterns can be used to build the constraint graph, when the patterns have been shown in a set of the FP. Two types of constraints can be generated by users and adaptation. Based on our scheme, we find that a large number of dataset has been efficiently reduced during mining process and the gathering information while updating.     

一种改进的加权频繁项集挖掘算法

FP-growth算法是挖掘频繁项集的经典算法,它利用FP-树这种紧凑的数据结构存储事务数据库与频繁项集挖掘相关的全部信息,但对于挖掘加权频繁项集并不合适。分析了现有加权频繁项集挖掘算法中存在的问题,并对FP-树进行改进,构造新的加权FP-树,提出了有效挖掘加权频繁项集的算法。最后举例说明了算法的挖掘过程,并通过实验验证了算法的有效性。     

基于FS-tree的频繁模式挖掘算法

关联规则挖掘是数据挖掘中的一个重要研究方向,用于发现项集之间的关联性。FP-growth算法通过构造FP-tree产生频繁集,由于其不生成候选集从而大大降低了搜索开销,其缺点是占用大量的内存空间。基于FP-growth的算法思想,提出基于FS-tree（频繁1-项子树）的频繁模式挖掘算法,通过将FP-tree拆分为多棵FS-tree,使算法的空间复杂度明显减小。实验表明,该算法是有效的。     

基于FP树的全局最大频繁项集挖掘算法

挖掘最大频繁项集是多种数据挖掘应用了更新最大频繁候选项集集合,需要反复地扫描整个数据库,而且大部分算法是单机算法,全局最大频繁项集挖掘算法并不多见.为此提出MGMF算法,该算法利用FP-树结构,类似FP-树挖掘方法,一遍就可以挖掘出所有的最大频繁项集,并且超集检测非常简单、快捷.另外MGMF算法采用了分布式PDDM算法播报消息的思想,具有很好的拓展性和并行性.实验证明MGMF算法是有效可行的.     

Mining frequent itemsets without support threshold: with and without item constraints

In classical association rules mining, a minimum support threshold is assumed to be available for mining frequent itemsets. However, setting such a threshold is typically hard. We handle a more practical problem; roughly speaking, it is to mine N k-itemsets with the highest supports for k up to a certain k/sub max/ value. We call the results the N-most interesting itemsets. Generally, it is more straightforward for users to determine N and k/sub max/. We propose two new algorithms, LOOPBACK and BOMO. Experiments show that our methods outperform the previously proposed Itemset-Loop algorithm, and the performance of BOMO can be an order of magnitude better than the original FP-tree algorithm, even with the assumption of an optimally chosen support threshold. We also propose the mining of "N-most interesting k-itemsets with item constraints." This allows user to specify different degrees of interestingness for different itemsets. Experiments show that our proposed Double FP-trees algorithm, which is based on BOMO, is highly efficient in solving this problem.     

Batch incremental processing for FP-tree construction using FP-Growth algorithm

In the present scenario of global economy and World Wide Web, large sets of evolving and distributed data can be handled efficiently by incremental data mining. Frequent patterns are very important in knowledge discovery and data mining process, such as mining of association rules, correlations. FP-tree is a very versatile data structure used for mining of frequent patterns in knowledge discovery and data mining process. FP-tree is a compact representation of transaction database that contains frequency information of all relevant frequent patterns (FP) of the database. All of the existing incremental frequent pattern mining algorithms, such as AFPIM, CATS, CanTree, CP-tree, and SPO-tree, perform incremental mining by processing one transaction of the incremental part of database at a time and updating it to the FP-tree of initial (original) database. Here, in this paper, we propose a novel method that takes advantage of FP-tree representation of incremental transaction database for incremental mining. We propose a batch incremental processing algorithm BIT_FPGrowth that restructures and merges two small consecutive duration FP-trees to obtain a FP-tree of the FP-Growth algorithm. Our BIT_FPGrowth uses FP-tree as preprocessed data repository to get transactions (i.e., item-sets), unlike other sequential incremental algorithms that read transactions from database. BIT_FPGrowth algorithm takes less time for constructing FP-tree. Our experimental results show that, as the size of the database increases, increase in runtime of BIT_FPGrowth is much less and is least of all the other algorithms.     

一种基于组合方式改进的频繁项集挖掘算法
