In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm using only one-time database scan. The proposed algorithm creates the bipartite graph which indicates relationship of large items and transactions including the large items. And then we can find large itemsets using the bipartite graph. The bipartite graph is generated when database is scanned to find large items. We can't easily find transactions which include large items in the large database. In the bipartite graph, large items and transactions are linked each other. So, we can trace the transactions which include large items through the link information. Therefore the bipartite graph is a indexed database which indicates inclusion relationship of large items and transactions. We can fast find large itemsets because proposed method conducts only one-time database scan and scans indexed the bipartite graph. Also, it don't generate candidate itemsets.

연관 규칙 마이닝은 일반적으로 않은 빈발항목집합과 연관 규칙을 생성하며, 생성된 연관 규칙은 상호 포함관계에 있거나 중복되는 경우가 많다. 이는 효과적인 마이닝 뿐 아니라 마이닝의 활용 효용성을 떨어뜨린다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 연관 규칙 마이닝과 동일한 성능을 가지며 생성되는 규칙의 수를 줄일 수 있는 빈발 폐쇄 항목집합 마이닝이 제안되었다. 본 연구에서는 연관규칙 마이닝 방법 중 가장 우수한 성능을 가지는 ARCS 알고리즘을 개선한 빈발 폐쇄 항목집단 마이닝을 제안한다.

The main research problems in a mining frequent itemsets are reducing memory usage and processing time of the mining process, and most of the previous algorithms for finding frequent itemsets are based on an Apriori-property, and they are multi-scan algorithms. Moreover, their processing time are greatly increased as the length of a maximal frequent itemset. To overcome this drawback, another approaches had been actively proposed in previous researches to reduce the processing time. However, they are not efficient on a sparse .data set This paper proposed an efficient mining algorithm for finding frequent itemsets. A novel tree structure, called an $L_2$-tree, was proposed int, and an efficient mining algorithm of frequent itemsets using $L_2$-tree, called an $L_2$-traverse algorithm was also proposed. An $L_2$-tree is constructed from $L_2$, i.e., a set of frequent itemsets of size 2, and an $L_2$-traverse algorithm can find its mining result in a short time by traversing the $L_2$-tree once. To reduce the processing more, this paper also proposed an optimized algorithm $C_3$-traverse, which removes previously an itemset in $L_2$ not to be a frequent itemsets of size 3. Through various experiments, it was verified that the proposed algorithms were efficient in a sparse data set.

Recently, data sharing between enterprises or organizations is required matter for task cooperation. In this process, when the enterprise opens its database to the affiliates, it can be occurred to problem leaked sensitive information. To resolve this problem it is needed to hide sensitive information from the database. Previous research hiding sensitive information applied different heuristic algorithms to maintain quality of the database. But there have been few studies analyzing the effects on the items modified during the hiding process and trying to minimize the hided items. This paper suggests eFP-Tree(Extended Frequent Pattern Tree) based FP-Tree(Frequent Pattern Tree) to hide sensitive frequent itemsets. Node formation of eFP-Tree uses border to minimize impacts of non sensitive frequent itemsets in hiding process, by organizing all transaction, sensitive and border information differently to before. As a result to apply eFP-Tree to the example transaction database, the lost items were less than 10%, proving it is more effective than the existing algorithm and maintain the quality of database to the optimal.

연관규칙 마이닝과정에서의 빈발항목 탐색의 대표적인 방법으로 알려진 Apriori 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 트랜잭션 데이터베이스(TDB)에서 생성되는 각 패스의 k-itemset들에 대해 각각 트랜잭션 ID List(TIDist)를 유지하고 이를 이용해 (k+1)-itemset을 효율적으로 찾아내는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 frequent (k+1)-itemset(k>0)의 빈도수 및 TIDList를 TDB 에 대한 스캔이 전혀 없이 k-itemset의 TIDList로부터 직접 구한다. 이는 빈발항목집합을 찾기 위한 탐색 complexity는 크게 줄여줄 뿐 아니라 시간 변화에 따른 빈발항목집합의 분포 정보를 제공해 준다.

It is difficult to discover frequent itemsets based on whole data from data stream since data stream has the characteristics of infinity and continuity. Therefore, a specialized data mining method, which reflects the properties of data and the requirement of users, is required. In this paper, we propose the method of FIMWB discovering the frequent itemsets which are reflecting the property that the recent events are more important than old events. Data stream is splitted into batches according to the given time interval. Our method gives a weighted value to each batch. It reflects user's interestedness for recent events. FP-Digraph discovers the frequent itemsets by using the result of FIMWB. Experimental result shows that FIMWB can reduce the generation of useless items and FP-Digraph method shows that it is suitable for real-time environment in comparison to a method based on a tree(FP-Tree).

Nowadays, lots of data mining applications based on continuous and online real time are increasing by the rapid growth of the data processing technique. In order to do association rule mining in that application, we have to use new techniques to find the frequent itemsets. Most of the existing techniques to find the frequent itemsets should scan the total database repeatedly. But in the application based on the continuous and online real time, it is impossible to scan the total database repeatedly. We have to find the frequent itemsets with only one scan of the data interval for that kind of application. So in this paper we propose an approximation technique which finds the maximum size of the frequent itemsets and items included in the maximum size of the frequent itemsets for the processing of association rule mining.

최근 대용량의 데이터베이스로부터 연관규칙을 발견하여 이를 활용하는 단계에서 이러한 연관규칙을 수량항목에도 적용할 수 있도록 확장하는 연구가 소개되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 수량 항목을 이진항목으로 변환하기 위하여 빈발구간 항목집합(Large Interval Itemsets)을 생성할 때 수량 항목이 특정 영역에 집중하여 발생하거나 골고루 분포되어 있지 않은 경우, 이러한 지역성(locality)을 고려하여 빈발구간 항목집합을 생성하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 방법은 기존의 방법보다 많은 수의 세밀한 빈발구간 항목들을 생성할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 의미 있는 구간을 중심으로 빈발구간 항목들이 순서대로 생성되기 때문에 세밀도를 판단하여 활용할 수 있으며, 원 데이터가 가지고 있는 특성의 손실을 최소화할 수 있는 특징이 있다 또한 인구센서스등 실 데이터를 사용한 성능평가를 통하여 기존의 방법보다 우수함을 보였다.

Due to the characteristics of a data stream, it is very important to confine the memory usage of a data mining process regardless of the amount of information generated in the data stream. For this purpose, this paper proposes the Prime pattern tree(PPT) for finding frequent itemsets over data streams with using the confined memory space. Unlike a prefix tree, a node of a PPT can maintain the information necessary to estimate the current supports of several itemsets together. The length of items in a prime pattern can be reduced the total number of nodes and controlled by split_delta $S_{\delta}$. The size and the accuracy of the PPT is determined by $S_{\delta}$. The accuracy is better as the value of $S_{\delta}$ is smaller since the value of $S_{\delta}$ is large, many itemsets are estimated their frequencies. So it is important to consider trade-off between the size of a PPT and the accuracy of the mining result. Based on this characteristic, the size and the accuracy of the PPT can be flexibly controlled by merging or splitting nodes in a mining process. For finding all frequent itemsets over the data stream, this paper proposes a PPT to replace the role of a prefix tree in the estDec method which was proposed as a previous work. It is efficient to optimize the memory usage for finding frequent itemsets over a data stream in confined memory space. Finally, the performance of the proposed method is analyzed by a series of experiments to identify its various characteristics.

Recent1y, there is growing attention on the researches of inducing association rules from large volume of database. One of them is the method that can be applied to quantitative attribute data. This paper presents a new method for generating large-interval itemsets, which uses locality for partitioning the range of data. This method can minimize the loss of data-inherent characteristics by generating denser large-interval items than other methods. Performance evaluation results show that our new approach is more efficient than previously proposed techniques.
