Association rule of the well-studied techniques in data mining is the exploratory data analysis for understanding the relevance among the items in a huge database. This method has been used to find the relationship between each set of items based on the interestingness measures such as support, confidence, lift, similarity measures, etc. By typical association rule technique, we generate association rule that satisfy minimum support and confidence values. Support and confidence are the most frequently used, but they have the drawback that they can not determine the direction of the association because they have always positive values. In this paper, we compared support, basic confidence, and three kinds of confidence measures useful for classification model building to overcome this problem. The result confirmed that the causal confirmed confidence was the best confidence in view of the association mining because it showed more precisely the direction of association.

One of the most distinguished features of the DHP association rules mining algorithm is that it counts the support of hash key combinations composed of k items at phase k-1, and uses the counted support for pruning candidate large itemsets to improve performance. At this time, it is desirable for each hash key combination to have a separate count variable, where it is impossible to allocate the variables owing to memory shortage. So, the algorithm uses a direct hashing mechanism in which several hash key combinations conflict and are counted in a same hash bucket. But the direct hashing mechanism is not efficient because the distribution of hash key combinations is unvalanced by the characteristics sourced from the mining process. This paper proposes a mapped perfect hashing function which maps the region of hash key combinations into a continuous integer space for phase 3 and maximizes the efficiency of direct hashing mechanism. The results of a performance test experimented on 42 test data sets shows that the average performance improvement of the proposed hashing mechanism is 7.3% compared to the existing method, and the highest performance improvement is 16.9%. Also, it shows that the proposed method is more efficient in case the length of transactions or large itemsets are long or the number of total items is large.

Data mining is the exploration and analysis of huge amounts of data to discover meaningful patterns. One of the most important data mining problems is association rule mining. Recent studies of mining association rules have proposed a closure mechanism. It is no longer necessary to mine the set of all of the frequent itemsets and their association rules. Rather, it is sufficient to mine the frequent closed itemsets and their corresponding rules. In the past, a number of algorithms for mining frequent closed itemsets have been based on items. In this paper, we use the transaction itself for mining frequent closed itemsets. An efficient algorithm is proposed that is based on a link structure between transactions. Our experimental results show that our algorithm is faster than previously proposed methods. Furthermore, our approach is significantly more efficient for dense databases.

오늘날 지식을 기반으로 하는 고도의 정보사회로 나아가는 시점에서 우리는 대량의 데이터 속에서 필요한 지식을 찾아내는 것에 초점을 모으게 되었다. 따라서 대량의 데이터 속에서 필요한 지식을 자동으로 찾아내는 데이터 마이닝에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 데이터 마이닝은 대용량의 데이터를 대상으로 하기 때문에 정확도뿐만이 아니라 소요시간도 중요하기 때문에 성능 향상을 위한 알고리즘들이 많이 개발되었다. 데이터 마이닝의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 가장 좋은 방법이 데이터베이스의 스캔의 횟수를 줄이는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 연관 규칙 탐사에서 빈발 항목 집합을 찾아내는 부분을 이진 표현을 이용하여 좀 더 성능을 향상시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안한다.

A data stream is a massive unbounded sequence of data elements continuously generated at a rapid rate. Due to the characteristics of a data stream, it is impossible to save all the data elements of a data stream. Therefore it is necessary to define a new synopsis structure to store the summary information of a data stream. For this purpose, this paper proposes a cuboid prefix tree that can be effectively employed in evaluating an iceberg query over data streams. A cuboid prefix tree only stores those itemsets that consist of grouping attributes used in GROUP BY query. In addition, a cuboid prefix tree can compute multiple iceberg queries simultaneously by sharing their common sub-expressions. A cuboid prefix tree evaluates an iceberg query over an infinitely generated data stream while efficiently reducing memory usage and processing time, which is verified by a series of experiments.

A exisiting recommedation system using association rules has the problem, such as delay of processing speed from a cause of frequent scanning a large data, scalability and accuracy as well. In this paper, using a Implicit method which is not used user's profile for rating, we propose the personalized recommendation system which is a new method using the FP-tree mining based on RFM. It is necessary for us to keep the analysis of RFM method and FP-tree mining to be able to reflect attributes of customers and items based on the whole customers' data and purchased data in order to find the items with high purchasability. The proposed makes frequent items and creates association rule by using the FP-tree mining based on RFM without occurrence of candidate set. We can recommend the items with efficiency, are used to generate the recommendable item according to the basic threshold for association rules with support, confidence and lift. To estimate the performance, the proposed system is compared with existing system. As a result, it can be improved and evaluated according to the criteria of logicality through the experiment with dataset, collected in a cosmetic internet shopping mall.

This paper propose an efficient algorithm for mining association rules in the large main memory systems. To do this, the paper attempts firstly to extend the conventional algorithms such as DHP and Partition in order to be compatible to the large main memory systems and proposes secondly an algorithm to improve Partition algorithm by applying the techniques of the hash table and the bit map. The proposed algorithm is compared to the extended DHP within the experimental environments and the results show up to 65% performance improvement in comparison to the expanded DHP.

Since collaborative filtering has used the nearest-neighborhood method based on item preference it cannot only reflect exact contents but also has the problem of sparsity and scalability. The item-based collaborative filtering has been practically used improve these problems. However it still does not reflect attributes of the item. In this paper, we propose the method of associative group using the FP-Tree to solve the problem of existing recommendation system. The proposed makes frequent item and creates association rule by using FP-Tree without occurrence of candidate set. We made the efficient item group using $\alpha-cut$ according to the confidence of the association rule. To estimate the performance, the suggested method is compared with Gibbs Sampling, Expectation Maximization, and K-means in the MovieLens dataset.

Recently open data mining methods focusing on a data stream that is a massive unbounded sequence of data elements continuously generated at a rapid rate are proposed actively. Knowledge embedded in a data stream is likely to be changed over time. Therefore, identifying the recent change of the knowledge quickly can provide valuable information for the analysis of the data stream. This paper proposes a sliding window technique for finding recently frequent itemsets, which is applied efficiently in open data mining. In the proposed technique, its memory usage is kept in a small space by delayed-insertion and pruning operations, and its mining result can be found in a short time since the data elements within its target range are not traversed repeatedly. Moreover, the proposed technique focused in the recent data elements, so that it can catch out the recent change of the data stream.
