The FP-tree(Frequency Pattern Tree) mining association rules algorithm was proposed to improve mining performance by reducing DB scan overhead dramatically, and it is recognized that the performance of it is better than that of any other algorithms based on different approaches. But the FP-tree algorithm needs a few more memory because it has to store all transactions including frequent itemsets of the DB. This paper implements a FP-tree algorithm on a general purpose UNK system and compares it with the DHP(Direct Hashing and Pruning) algorithm which uses hash tree and direct hash table from the point of memory usage and execution time. The results show surprisingly that the FP-tree algorithm is poor than the DHP algorithm in some cases even if the system memory is sufficient for the FP-tree. The characteristics of the test data are as follows. The site of DB is look, the number of total items is $1K{\sim}7K$, avenrage length of transactions is $5{\sim}10$, avergage size of maximal frequent itemsets is $2{\sim}12$(these are typical attributes of data for large-scale convenience stores).

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.

As the amount of electronic documents increases explosively, automatic text categorization methods are needed to identify those of interest. Most methods use machine learning techniques based on a word set. This paper introduces a new method, called FPTC (FP-Tree based Text Classifier). FP-Tree is a data structure used in data-mining. In this paper, a method of storing text sentence patterns in the FP-Tree structure and classifying text using the patterns is presented. In the experiments conducted, we use our algorithm with a #Mutual Information and Entropy# approach to improve performance. We also present an analysis of the algorithm via an ordinary differential categorization method.

For frequency pattern analysis of large databases, the new tree-based frequency pattern analysis algorithm which can compensate for the disadvantages of the Apriori method has been variously studied. In frequency pattern tree, the number of nodes is associated with memory allocation, but also affects memory resource consumption and processing speed of the growth. Therefore, reducing the number of nodes in the tree is very important in the frequency pattern mining. However, the absolute criteria which need to order the transaction items for construction frequency pattern tree has lowered the compression ratio of the tree nodes. But most of the frequency based tree construction methods adapted the absolute criteria. FP-tree is typically frequency pattern tree structure which is an extended prefix-tree structure for storing compressed frequent crucial information about frequent patterns. For construction the tree, all the frequent items in different transactions are sorted according to the absolute criteria, frequency descending order. CanTree also need to absolute criteria, canonical order, to construct the tree. In this paper, we proposed a novel frequency pattern tree construction method that does not use the absolute criteria, IRFP-tree algorithm. IRFP-tree(Intersection Rule based FP-tree). IRFP-tree is constituted with the new paradigm of the intersection rule without the use of the absolute criteria. It increased the compression ratio of the tree nodes, and reduced the tree construction time. Our method has the additional advantage that it provides incremental mining. The reported test result demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach.

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.

FP-tree(Frequent Pattern Tree) 연관 규칙 탐사 알고리즘은 DB 스캔에 대한 부담을 획기적으로 절감시킴으로써 전체적인 성능을 향상시키고자 제안되었다. 그런데, FP-tree는 DB에 저장된 거래 내용중 빈발 항목을 포함하는 모든 거래를 트리에 저장해야 하기 때문에 그만큼 많은 메모리를 필요로 한다. 이 논문에서는 범용 운영체제인 유닉스 시스템을 사용해서 메모리 사용 측면에서 F.P. Tree 알고리즘의 타당성과 이에 따른 성능 특성을 관찰하였다. 그 결과, F.P. Tree 알고리즘은 현대 컴퓨터에서 보편화된 512MB${\sim}$1GB의 주메모리 시스템에서 무리는 없으나, 메모리 소요량이 DB의 크기나 빈발 항목 집합의 수 보다는 거래의 길이 등 DB의 특성에 따라 급격하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.

FP-tree는 연관성 규칙 알고리즘 전체의 성능을 향상 시키며 DB 스캔을 단 2회로 줄였다. 하지만 빈발 항목과 모든 트랜잭션의 tree 정보를 메모리에 상주 시키면서 많은 메모리 공간을 요구했다. 그래서 나온 DRFP알고리즘은 메모리 요구 문제를 저장장치에 저장함으로 해결 하였으나 FP-tree와는 달리 시간 성능에서의 문제점을 가졌다. 그래서 우리는 이러한 문제점을 보완할 NRFP-tree(Nare disc-Resident Frequent pattern Tree)를 제안한다.

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.

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.

Since frequent item extraction so far requires searching for patterns and traversal for the FP-Tree, it is more likely to store the mining data in a tree and thus CPU time is required for its searching. In order to overcome these drawbacks, in this paper, we provide each item with its location identification of transaction data without relying on conditional FP-Tree and convert transaction data into 2-dimensional position information look-up table, resulting in the facilitation of time and spatial accessibility. We propose an algorithm that considers the mapping scheme between the location of items and items that guarantees the linear time complexity. Experimental results show that the proposed method can reduce many execution time and memory usage based on the data set obtained from the FIMI repository website.
