The generators and the unique closed pattern of an equivalence class of itemsets share a common set of transactions. The generators are the minimal ones among the equivalent items...
Identifying the extremal (minimal and maximal) sets from a collection of sets is an important subproblem in the areas of data-mining and satisfiability checking. For example, ext...
Recent research in data mining has progressed from mining frequent itemsets to more general and structured patterns like trees and graphs. In this paper, we address the problem of...
Existing association rule mining algorithms suffer from many problems when mining massive transactional datasets. Some of these major problems are: (1) the repetitive I/O disk sca...
Benchmarking technical solutions is as important as the solutions themselves. Yet many fields still lack any type of rigorous evaluation. Performance benchmarking has always been ...
