Overview on Sequential Mining Algorithms and Their Extensions
2018
The main purpose of data mining is to extract hidden, important and nontrivial information from a database. Sequential Pattern Mining is a data mining technique that aims to obtain and analyze frequent subsequences from sequences of events or items with or without time constraint. The importance of a sequence can be measured based on different factors such as the frequency of their occurrence, their length and also their profit. The pattern mining or the discovery of important and unexpected patterns and information was first introduced in 1990 with the well-known Apriori algorithm. Then, and after many studies on frequent pattern mining, a new approach appeared: Sequential Pattern Mining. …
Healthcare trajectory mining by combining multidimensional component and itemsets
2012
Sequential pattern mining is aimed at extracting correlations among temporal data. Many different methods were proposed to either enumerate sequences of set valued data (i.e., itemsets) or sequences containing multidimensional items. However, in real-world scenarios, data sequences are described as events of both multidimensional items and set valued information. These rich heterogeneous descriptions cannot be exploited by traditional approaches. For example, in healthcare domain, hospitalizations are defined as sequences of multi-dimensional attributes (e.g. Hospital or Diagnosis) associated with two sets, set of medical procedures (e.g. $ \lbrace $ Radiography, Appendectomy $\rbrace$) and…
