A Two-layer Model for Interactive Mining of Frequent Patterns-Camera ready

Commonly, frequent patterns are mined by satisfying a user specified minimum support threshold or minsup in short. In some applications, finding proper frequent patterns by changing the value of minsup is needed. Since rerunning the mining algorithm from scratch can be very time consuming and may unacceptable for real time applications, researchers have introduced interactive mining. Although need to interactive mining has been addressed in many studies, thus far there has not been proposed any specified model to develop an efficient interactive mining method. In this paper, we propose a two-layer model including mining model construction and mining process for interactive mining. The experimental results verify that using the proposed model avoids database rescanning and reconstructing of the mining model which is the basic idea to enhance the efficiency of interactive mining.
