Data mining is the task of discovering interesting patterns from large amounts of data. There are many data mining tasks, such as classification, clustering, association rule mini...
This paper introduces support envelopes--a new tool for analyzing association patterns--and illustrates some of their properties, applications, and possible extensions. Specifical...
—The strategies for mining frequent itemsets, which is the essential part of discovering association rules, have been widely studied over the last decade. In real-world datasets,...
The discovery of sequential patterns, which extends beyond frequent item-set finding of association rule mining, has become a challenging task due to its complexity. Essentially, ...
Most data-mining techniques seek a single model that optimizes an objective function with respect to the data. In many real-world applications several models will equally optimize...
