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.

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.

Algorithms for mining association rules based on the Apriori algorithm use the hash tree data structure for storing and counting supports of the candidate frequent itemsets and the most part of the execution time is consumed for searching in the hash tree. The DHP(Direct Hashing and Pruning) algorithm makes efforts to reduce the number of the candidate frequent itemsets to save searching time in the hash tree. For this purpose, the DHP algorithm does preparative simple counting supports of the candidate frequent itemsets. At this time, the DHP algorithm uses the direct hash table to reduce the overhead of the preparative counting supports. This paper proposes and evaluates an efficient hashing mechanism for the direct hash table $H_2$ which is for pruning in phase 2 and the hash tree $C_k$, which is for counting supports of the candidate frequent itemsets in all phases. The results showed that the performance improvement due to the proposed hashing mechanism was 82.2% on the maximum and 18.5% on the average compared to the conventional method using a simple mod operation.

An association rule discovery, a technique to analyze the stored data in databases to discover potential information, has been a popular topic in stream data system. Most of the previous researches are concerned to single stream data. However, this approach may ignore in mining to multidimensional stream data. In this paper, we study the techniques discovering the association rules to multidimensional stream data. And we propose a AR-MS method reflecting the characteristics of stream data since make the summarization information by one data scan and discovering the association rules for significant rare data that appear infrequently in the database but are highly associated with specific event. Also, AR-MS method can discover the maximal frequent item of multidimensional stream data by using the summarization information. Through analysis and experiments, we show that AR-MS method is superior to other previous methods.

The basic assumption of conventional data mining methodology is that the data set of a knowledge discovery process should be fixed and available before the process can proceed. Consequently, this assumption is valid only when the static knowledge embedded in a specific data set is the target of data mining. In addition, a conventional data mining method requires considerable computing time to produce the result of mining from a large data set. Due to these reasons, it is almost impossible to apply the mining method to a realtime analysis task in a data stream where a new transaction is continuously generated and the up-to-dated result of data mining including the newly generated transaction is needed as quickly as possible. In this paper, a new mining concept, open data mining in a data stream, is proposed for this purpose. In open data mining, whenever each transaction is newly generated, the updated mining result of whole transactions including the newly generated transactions is obtained instantly. In order to implement this mechanism efficiently, it is necessary to incorporate the delayed-insertion of newly identified information in recent transactions as well as the pruning of insignificant information in the mining result of past transactions. The proposed algorithm is analyzed through a series of experiments in order to identify the various characteristics of the proposed algorithm.

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.

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.
