We tackle the challenging problem of mining the simplest Boolean patterns from categorical datasets. Instead of complete enumeration, which is typically infeasible for this class ...
An ideal outcome of pattern mining is a small set of informative patterns, containing no redundancy or noise, that identifies the key structure of the data at hand. Standard freq...
Compression based pattern mining has been successfully applied to many data mining tasks. We propose an approach based on the minimum description length principle to extract seque...
One practical inconvenience in frequent pattern mining is that it often yields a flood of common or uninformative patterns, and thus we should carefully adjust the minimum suppor...
Mining user profiles is a crucial task for Web usage mining, and can be accomplished by mining frequent patterns. However, in the Web usage domain, sessions tend to be very sparse,...
