Mining Sequential Patterns across Time Sequences

In this paper, we deal with mining sequential patterns in multiple time sequences. Building on a state-of-the-art sequential pattern mining algorithm PrefixSpan for mining transaction databases, we propose MILE (MIning in muLtiple sEquences), an efficient algorithm to facilitate the mining process. MILE recursively utilizes the knowledge of existing patterns to avoid redundant data scanning, and therefore can effectively speed up the new patterns’ discovery process. Another unique feature of MILE is that it can incorporate prior knowledge of the data distribution in time sequences into the mining process to further improve the performance. Extensive empirical results show that MILE is significantly faster than PrefixSpan. As MILE consumes more memory than PrefixSpan, we also present a solution to trade time efficiency in memory constrained environments.

Mining Web Log Sequential Patterns with Position Coded Pre-Order Linked WAP-Tree

Sequential mining is the process of applying data mining techniques to a sequential database for the purposes of discovering the correlation relationships that exist among an ordered list of events. An important application of sequential mining techniques is web usage mining, for mining web log accesses, where the sequences of web page accesses made by different web users over a period of time, through a server, are recorded. Web access pattern tree (WAP-tree) mining is a sequential pattern mining technique for web log access sequences, which first stores the original web access sequence database on a prefix tree, similar to the frequent pattern tree (FP-tree) for storing non-sequential data. WAP-tree algorithm then, mines the frequent sequences from the WAP-tree by recursively re-constructing intermediate trees, starting with suffix sequences and ending with prefix sequences.This paper proposes a more efficient approach for using the WAP-tree to mine frequent sequences, which totally eliminates the need to engage in numerous re-construction of intermediate WAP-trees during mining. The proposed algorithm builds the frequent header node links of the original WAP-tree in a pre-order fashion and uses the position code of each node to identify the ancestor/descendant relationships between nodes of the tree. It then, finds each frequent sequential pattern, through progressive prefix sequence search, starting with its first prefix subsequence event. Experiments show huge performance gain over the WAP-tree technique.

Executing Formal Specifications with Concurrent Constraint Programming

We have implemented a technique for execution of formal, model-based specifications. The specifications we can execute are written at a level of abstraction that is close to that used in nonexecutable specifications. The specification abstractions supported by our execution technique include using quantified assertions to directly construct post-state values, and indirect definitions of post-state values (definitions that do not use equality). Our approach is based on translating specifications to the concurrent constraint programming language AKL. While there are, of course, expressible assertions that are not executable, our technique is amenable to any formal specification language based on a finite number of intrinsic types and pre- and postcondition assertions.     

A Framework for Mining Sequential Patterns from Spatio-Temporal Event Data Sets

Given a large spatio-temporal database of events, where each event consists of the fields event ID, time, location, and event type, mining spatio-temporal sequential patterns identifies significant event-type sequences. Such spatio-temporal sequential patterns are crucial to the investigation of spatial and temporal evolutions of phenomena in many application domains. Recent research literature has explored the sequential patterns on transaction data and trajectory analysis on moving objects. However, these methods cannot be directly applied to mining sequential patterns from a large number of spatio-temporal events. Two major research challenges still remain: 1) the definition of significance measures for spatio-temporal sequential patterns to avoid spurious ones and 2) the algorithmic design under the significance measures, which may not guarantee the downward closure property. In this paper, we propose a sequence index as the significance measure for spatio-temporal sequential patterns, which is meaningful due to its interpretability using spatial statistics. We propose a novel algorithm called Slicing-STS-miner to tackle the algorithmic design challenge using the spatial sequence index, which does not preserve the downward closure property. We compare the proposed algorithm with a simple algorithm called STS-miner that utilizes the weak monotone property of the sequence index. Performance evaluations using both synthetic and real-world data sets show that the slicing-STS-miner is an order of magnitude faster than STS-Miner for large data sets.
