One practical inconvenience in frequent pattern mining is that it often yields a flood of common or uninformative patterns, and thus we should carefully adjust the minimum suppor...
We propose a new framework of explanation-oriented data mining by adding an explanation construction and evaluation phase to the data mining process. While traditional approaches c...
Finding Contiguous Sequential Patterns (CSP) is an important problem in Web usage mining. In this paper we propose a new data structure, UpDown Tree, for CSP mining. An UpDown Tre...
Sequential pattern mining is very important because it is the basis of many applications. Yet how to efficiently implement the mining is difficult due to the inherent characteri...
Mining frequent itemsets from transactional datasets is a well known problem with good algorithmic solutions. In the case of uncertain data, however, several new techniques have be...
