Title
Mining top-k quantile-based cohesive sequential patterns
Author
Abstract
Finding patterns in long event sequences is an important data mining task. Two decades ago research focused on finding all frequent patterns, where the anti-monotonic property of support was used to design efficient algorithms. Recent research focuses on producing a smaller output containing only the most interesting patterns. To achieve this goal, we introduce a new interestingness measure by computing the proportion of the occurrences of a pattern that are cohesive. This measure is robust to outliers, and is applicable to sequential patterns. We implement an efficient algorithm based on constrained prefix-projected pattern growth and pruning based on an upper bound to uncover the set of top-k quantile-based cohesive sequential patterns. We run experiments to compare our method with existing state-of-the-art methods for sequential pattern mining and show that our algorithm is efficient and produces qualitatively interesting patterns on large event sequences.
