Mining frequent sequential patterns with first-occurrence forests

Published:28 March 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this paper, a new pattern-growth algorithm is presented to mine frequent sequential patterns using First-Occurrence Forests (FOF). This algorithm uses a simple list of pointers to the first-occurrences of a symbol in the aggregate tree [1], as the basic data structure for database representation, and does not rebuild aggregate trees for projection databases. The experimental evaluation shows that our new FOF mining algorithm outperforms the PLWAP-tree mining algorithm [2] and the FLWAP-tree mining algorithm [3], both in the mining time and the amount of memory used.
