Many researches of frequent pattern mining technique for detecting unknown patterns on spatial data have studied actively. Existing data structures have classified into tree-structure and array-structure, and those structures show the weakness of performance on dense or sparse data. Since spatial data have obtained the characteristics of dense and sparse patterns, it is important for us to mine quickly dense and sparse patterns using only single algorithm. In this paper, we propose novel data structure as compressed patricia frequent pattern tree and frequent pattern mining algorithm based on proposed data structure which can detect frequent patterns quickly in terms of both dense and sparse frequent patterns mining. In our experimental result, proposed algorithm proves about 10 times faster than existing FP-Growth algorithm on both dense and sparse data.

기존의 많은 빈발 패턴 마이닝은 단일 최소 임계치를 전체 트랜잭션 데이터베이스의 각 아이템에 똑같이 적용하고 빈발 패턴을 마이닝해왔다. 단일 최소 임계치를 설정함으로써, 모든 아이템이 동일한 임계치가 적용되므로 레어 아이템 문제가 발생한다. 한편, 일정 주기마다 발생하는 정규 패턴이라고 한다. 실 세계에서는 빈발한 아이템 뿐만 아니라 주기적으로 발생하는 패턴정보의 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 레어 아이템 문제를 해결하는 빈발한 정규 패턴을 마이닝하는 기법을 제시한다.

Data mining techniques are used to find important and meaningful information from huge databases, and pattern mining is one of the significant data mining techniques. Pattern mining is a method of discovering useful patterns from the huge databases. Frequent pattern mining which is one of the pattern mining extracts patterns having higher frequencies than a minimum support threshold from databases, and the patterns are called frequent patterns. Traditional frequent pattern mining is based on a single minimum support threshold for the whole database to perform mining frequent patterns. This single support model implicitly supposes that all of the items in the database have the same nature. In real world applications, however, each item in databases can have relative characteristics, and thus an appropriate pattern mining technique which reflects the characteristics is required. In the framework of frequent pattern mining, where the natures of items are not considered, it needs to set the single minimum support threshold to a too low value for mining patterns containing rare items. It leads to too many patterns including meaningless items though. In contrast, we cannot mine any pattern if a too high threshold is used. This dilemma is called the rare item problem. To solve this problem, the initial researches proposed approximate approaches which split data into several groups according to item frequencies or group related rare items. However, these methods cannot find all of the frequent patterns including rare frequent patterns due to being based on approximate techniques. Hence, pattern mining model with multiple minimum supports is proposed in order to solve the rare item problem. In the model, each item has a corresponding minimum support threshold, called MIS (Minimum Item Support), and it is calculated based on item frequencies in databases. The multiple minimum supports model finds all of the rare frequent patterns without generating meaningless patterns and losing significant patterns by applying the MIS. Meanwhile, candidate patterns are extracted during a process of mining frequent patterns, and the only single minimum support is compared with frequencies of the candidate patterns in the single minimum support model. Therefore, the characteristics of items consist of the candidate patterns are not reflected. In addition, the rare item problem occurs in the model. In order to address this issue in the multiple minimum supports model, the minimum MIS value among all of the values of items in a candidate pattern is used as a minimum support threshold with respect to the candidate pattern for considering its characteristics. For efficiently mining frequent patterns including rare frequent patterns by adopting the above concept, tree based algorithms of the multiple minimum supports model sort items in a tree according to MIS descending order in contrast to those of the single minimum support model, where the items are ordered in frequency descending order. In this paper, we study the characteristics of the frequent pattern mining based on multiple minimum supports and conduct performance evaluation with a general frequent pattern mining algorithm in terms of runtime, memory usage, and scalability. Experimental results show that the multiple minimum supports based algorithm outperforms the single minimum support based one and demands more memory usage for MIS information. Moreover, the compared algorithms have a good scalability in the results.

Approximate Frequent pattern mining is to find approximate patterns, not exact frequent patterns with tolerable variations for more efficiency. As the size of database increases, much faster mining techniques are needed to deal with huge databases. Moreover, it is more difficult to discover exact results of mining patterns due to inherent noise or data diversity. In these cases, by mining approximate frequent patterns, more efficient mining can be performed in terms of runtime, memory usage and scalability. In this paper, we study the characteristics of an approximate mining algorithm based on probabilistic technique and run performance evaluation of the efficient approximate frequent pattern mining algorithm. Finally, we analyze the test results for more improvement.

Most of existing frequent pattern mining methods address time efficiency and greatly rely on the primary memory. However, in the era of big data, the size of real-world databases to mined is exponentially increasing, and hence the primary memory is not sufficient enough to mine for frequent patterns from large real-world data sets. To solve this problem, there are some researches for frequent pattern mining method based on disk, but the processing time compared to the memory based methods took very time consuming. There are some researches to improve scalability of frequent pattern mining, but their processes are very time consuming compare to the memory based methods. In this paper, we present PPFP as a novel disk-based approach for mining frequent itemset from big data; and hence we reduced the main memory size bottleneck. PPFP algorithm is based on FP-growth method which is one of the most popular and efficient frequent pattern mining approaches. The mining with PPFP consists of two setps. (1) Constructing an IFP-tree: After construct FP-tree, we assign index number for each node in FP-tree with novel index numbering method, and then insert the indexed FP-tree (IFP-tree) into disk as IFP-table. (2) Mining frequent patterns with PPFP: Mine frequent patterns by expending patterns using stack based PUSH-POP method (PPFP method). Through this new approach, by using a very small amount of memory for recursive and time consuming operation in mining process, we improved the scalability and time efficiency of the frequent pattern mining. And the reported test results demonstrate them.

Recently many LBS(Location Based Service) systems are issued in mobile computing systems. Spatial-Temporal Moving Sequence Pattern Mining is a new mining method that mines user moving patterns from user moving path histories in a sensor network environment. The frequent pattern mining is related to the items which customers buy. But on the other hand, our mining method concerns users' moving sequence paths. In this paper, we consider the sequence of moving paths so we handle the repetition of moving paths. Also, we consider the duration that user spends on the location. We proposed new Apriori_msp based on the Apriori algorithm and evaluated its performance results.

Since frequent pattern mining was proposed in order to search for hidden, useful pattern information from large-scale databases, various types of mining approaches and applications have been researched. Especially, frequent graph pattern mining was suggested to effectively deal with recent data that have been complicated continually, and a variety of efficient graph mining algorithms have been studied. Graph patterns obtained from graph databases have their own importance and characteristics different from one another according to the elements composing them and their lengths. However, traditional frequent graph pattern mining approaches have the limitations that do not consider such problems. That is, the existing methods consider only one minimum support threshold regardless of the lengths of graph patterns extracted from their mining operations and do not use any of the patterns' weight factors; therefore, a large number of actually useless graph patterns may be generated. Small graph patterns with a few vertices and edges tend to be interesting when their weighted supports are relatively high, while large ones with many elements can be useful even if their weighted supports are relatively low. For this reason, we propose a weight-based frequent graph pattern mining algorithm considering length-decreasing support constraints. Comprehensive experimental results provided in this paper show that the proposed method guarantees more outstanding performance compared to a state-of-the-art graph mining algorithm in terms of pattern generation, runtime, and memory usage.

XML data are widely used for data representation and exchange on the Web and the data type is an continuous stream in ubiquitous environment. Therefore there are some mining researches related to the extracting of frequent structures and the efficient query processing of XML stream data. In this paper, we propose a mining method to extract frequent structures of XML stream data in recent window based on the sliding window. XML stream data are modeled as a tree set, called XFP_tree and we quickly extract the frequent structures over recent XML data in the XFP_tree.
