Most of the previous studies adopt Apriori like candidate set generation and test approach. However, candidate set generation is very costly. Han J. proposed a novel algorithm FP growth that could generate frequent pattern without candidate set. Based on the analysis of the algorithm FP growth, this paper proposes a concept of equivalent FP tree and proposes an improved algorithm, denoted as FP growth * , which is much faster in speed, and easy to realize. FP growth * adopts a modified structure of FP tree and header table, and only generates a header table in each recursive operation and projects the tree to the original FP tree. The two algorithms get the same frequent pattern set in the same transaction database, but the performance study on computer shows that the speed of the improved algorithm, FP growth * , is at least two times as fast as that of FP growth.展开更多

Association rule mining aims to discover interesting correlations, frequent patterns, associations, or causal structures between items hidden in a large database. By exploiting quantum computing, we propose an efficient quantum search algorithm design to discover the maximum frequent patterns. We modified Grover’s search algorithm so that a subspace of arbitrary symmetric states is used instead of the whole search space. We presented a novel quantum oracle design that employs a quantum counter to count the maximum frequent items and a quantum comparator to check with a minimum support threshold. The proposed derived algorithm increases the rate of the correct solutions since the search is only in a subspace. Furthermore, our algorithm significantly scales and optimizes the required number of qubits in design, which directly reflected positively on the performance. Our proposed design can accommodate more transactions and items and still have a good performance with a small number of qubits.展开更多

And there has been a spurt of research activities around this problem. However, traditional association rule mining may often derive many rules in which people are uninterested. This paper reports a generalization of association rule mining called φ association rule mining. It allows people to have different interests on different itemsets that arethe need of real application. Also, it can help to derive interesting rules and substantially reduce the amount of rules. An algorithm based on FP tree for mining φ frequent itemset is presented. It is shown by experiments that the proposed methodis efficient and scalable over large databases.展开更多

The conventional association rule mining focuses mainly on positive itemsets generated from frequently occurring itemsets (PFIS). However, there has been a significant study focused on infrequent itemsets with utilization of negative association rules to mine interesting frequent itemsets (NFIS) from transactions. In this work, we propose an efficient backward calculating negative frequent itemset algorithm namely EBC-NFIS for computing backward supports that can extract both positive and negative frequent itemsets synchronously from dataset. EBC-NFIS algorithm is based on popular e-NFIS algorithm that computes supports of negative itemsets from the supports of positive itemsets. The proposed algorithm makes use of previously computed supports from memory to minimize the computation time. In addition, association rules, i.e. positive and negative association rules (PNARs) are generated from discovered frequent itemsets using EBC-NFIS algorithm. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is verified by several experiments and comparing results with e-NFIS algorithm. The experimental results confirm that the proposed algorithm successfully discovers NFIS and PNARs and runs significantly faster than conventional e-NFIS algorithm.展开更多

As a result, stream mining, extracting useful knowledge from a huge amount of data in real time, is attracting more and more attention. It is said, however, that real- time stream processing will become more difficult in the near future, because the performance of processing applications continues to increase at a rate of 10% - 15% each year, while the amount of data to be processed is increasing exponentially. In this study, we focused on identifying a promising stream mining algorithm, specifically a Frequent Itemset Mining (FIsM) algorithm, then we improved its performance using an FPGA. FIsM algorithms are important and are basic data- mining techniques used to discover association rules from transactional databases. We improved on an approximate FIsM algorithm proposed recently so that it would fit onto hardware architecture efficiently. We then ran experiments on an FPGA. As a result, we have been able to achieve a speed 400% faster than the original algorithm implemented on a CPU. Moreover, our FPGA prototype showed a 20 times speed improvement compared to the CPU version.展开更多

A large number of FIM algorithms have been proposed to obtain better performance, including parallelized algorithms for processing large data volumes. Besides, incremental FIM algorithms are also proposed to deal with incremental database updates. However, most of these incremental algorithms have low parallelism, causing low efficiency on huge databases. This paper presents two parallel incremental FIM algorithms called IncMiningPFP and IncBuildingPFP, implemented on the MapReduce framework. IncMiningPFP preserves the FP-tree mining results of the original pass, and utilizes them for incremental calculations. In particular, we propose a method to generate a partial FP-tree in the incremental pass, in order to avoid unnecessary mining work. Further, some of the incremental parallel tasks can be omitted when the inserted transactions include fewer items. IncbuildingPFP preserves the CanTrees built in the original pass, and then adds new transactions to them during the incremental passes. Our experimental results show that IncMiningPFP can achieve significant speedup over PFP （Parallel FPGrowth） and a sequential incremental algorithm （CanTree） in most cases of incremental input database, and in other cases IncBuildingPFP can achieve it.展开更多
