New algorithm of mining frequent closed itemsets

A new algorithm based on an FC-tree （frequent closed pattern tree） and a max-FCIA （maximal frequent closed itemsets algorithm） is presented, which is used to mine the frequent closed itemsets for solving memory and time consuming problems. This algorithm maps the transaction database by using a Hash table,gets the support of all frequent itemsets through operating the Hash table and forms a lexicographic subset tree including the frequent itemsets.Efficient pruning methods are used to get the FC-tree including all the minimum frequent closed itemsets through processing the lexicographic subset tree.Finally,frequent closed itemsets are generated from minimum frequent closed itemsets.The experimental results show that the mapping transaction database is introduced in the algorithm to reduce time consumption and to improve the efficiency of the program.Furthermore,the effective pruning strategy restrains the number of candidates,which saves space.The results show that the algorithm is effective.

An efficient algorithm for mining closed itemsets

This paper presents a new efficient algorithm for mining frequent closed itemsets. It enumerates the closed set of frequent itemsets by using a novel compound frequent itemset tree that facilitates fast growth and efficient pruning of search space. It also employs a hybrid approach that adapts search strategies, representations of projected transaction subsets, and projecting methods to the characteristics of the dataset. Efficient local pruning, global subsumption checking, and fast hashing methods are detailed in this paper. The principle that balances the overheads of search space growth and pruning is also discussed. Extensive experimental evaluations on real world and artificial datasets showed that our algorithm outperforms CHARM by a factor of five and is one to three orders of magnitude more efficient than CLOSET and MAFIA.

Efficient Mining of Frequent Closed XML Query Pattern

Previous research works have presented convincing arguments that a frequent pattern mining algorithm should not mine all frequent but only the closed ones because the latter leads to not only more compact yet complete result set but also better efficiency. Upon discovery of frequent closed XML query patterns, indexing and caching can be effectively adopted for query performance enhancement. Most of the previous algorithms for finding frequent patterns basically introduced a straightforward generate-and-test strategy. In this paper, we present SOLARIA＊, an efficient algorithm for mining frequent closed XML query patterns without candidate maintenance and costly tree-containment checking. Efficient algorithm of sequence mining is involved in discovering frequent tree-structured patterns, which aims at replacing expensive containment testing with cheap parent-child checking in sequences. SOLARIA＊ deeply prunes unrelated search space for frequent pattern enumeration by parent-child relationship constraint. By a thorough experimental study on various real-life data, we demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of SOLARIA＊ over the previous known alternative. SOLARIA＊ is also linearly scalable in terms of XML queries＇ size.
