Publisher Summary

This chapter discusses the advanced methods of frequent pattern mining, which mines more complex forms of frequent patterns and considers user preferences or constraints to speed up the mining process. Frequent pattern mining has reached far beyond the basics due to substantial research, numerous extensions of the problem scope, and broad application studies. An in-depth coverage of methods for mining many kinds of patterns is included elaborating on: multilevel patterns, multidimensional patterns, patterns in continuous data, rare patterns, negative patterns, constrained frequent patterns, frequent patterns in high-dimensional data, colossal patterns, and compressed and approximate patterns. Other pattern mining themes, including ...
