A Performance Study of Three Disk-based Structures for Indexing and Querying Frequent Itemsets

چکیده
Frequent itemset mining is an important problem in the data mining area. Extensive efforts have been devoted to developing efficient algorithms for mining frequent itemsets. However, not much attention is paid on managing the large collection of frequent itemsets produced by these algorithms for subsequent analysis and for user exploration. In this paper, we study three structures for indexing and querying frequent itemsets: inverted files, signature files and CFPtree. The first two structures have been widely used for indexing general set-valued data. We make some modifications to make them more suitable for indexing frequent itemsets. The CFP-tree structure is specially designed for storing frequent itemsets. We add a pruning technique based on length-2 frequent itemsets to make it more efficient for processing superset queries. We study the performance of the three structures in supporting five types of containment queries: exact match, subset/superset search and immediate subset/superset search. Our results show that no structure can outperform other structures for all the five types of queries on all the datasets. CFP-tree shows better overall performance than the other two structures.

Itemset Support Queries Using Frequent Itemsets and Their Condensed Representations
The purpose of this paper is two-fold: First, we give efficient algorithms for answering itemset support queries for collections of itemsets from various representations of the frequency information. As index structures we use itemset tries of transaction databases, frequent itemsets and their condensed representations. Second, we evaluate the usefulness of condensed representations of frequent...
متن کاملData sanitization in association rule mining based on impact factor
Data sanitization is a process that is used to promote the sharing of transactional databases among organizations and businesses, it alleviates concerns for individuals and organizations regarding the disclosure of sensitive patterns. It transforms the source database into a released database so that counterparts cannot discover the sensitive patterns and so data confidentiality is preserved ag...
متن کاملDeveloping a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information
With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...
متن کاملIndexing and Mining Free Trees
Tree structures are used extensively in domains such as computational biology, pattern recognition, computer networks, and so on. In this paper, we present an indexing technique for free trees and apply this indexing technique to the problem of mining frequent subtrees. We first define a novel representation, the canonical form, for rooted trees and extend the definition to free trees. We also ...

It is conventional to use multi-dimensional indexing structures to accelerate search operations in content-based image retrieval systems. Many efforts have been done in order to develop multi-dimensional indexing structures so far. In most practical applications of image retrieval, high-dimensional feature vectors are required, but current multi-dimensional indexing structures lose their effici...
