Pattern-growth Methods for Sequential Pattern Mining: Principles and Extensions Jiawei Han (UIUC) Jian Pei (Simon Fraser Univ. )
Outline n Sequential pattern mining n Pattern-growth methods n Performance study n Mining sequential patterns with regular expression constraints
Why Sequential Pattern Mining? n n Sequential pattern mining: Finding time-related frequent patterns (frequent subsequences) Most data and applications are time-related n Customer shopping patterns, telephone calling patterns n E. g. , first buy computer, then CD-ROMS, software, within 3 mos. n Natural disasters (e. g. , earthquake, hurricane) n Disease and treatment n Stock market fluctuation n Weblog click stream analysis n DNA sequence analysis
Sequential Pattern Mining n Given a set of sequences, find the complete set of frequent subsequences A sequence database SID sequence 10 ab 20 <(ad)c(bc)(ae)> 30 <(ef)(ab)(df)cb> ab 40
Sequential Pattern: Basics A sequence database Seq. ID Sequence 10 <(bd)cb(ac)> bd cb 20 <(bf)(ce)b(fg)> 30 <(ah)(bf)abf> 40 <(be)(ce)d> 50 bd cb A sequence : <(bd) c b (ac)> Elements
Apriori Property n If a sequence S is not frequent every supersequence of S is not frequent n E. g,
Apriori-like Sequential Pattern Mining Methods n n n Proposed by Agrawal and Srikant, ICDE’ 95 & EDBT’ 96 n GSP (Generalized Sequential Pattern) algorithm Outline of the method n Level-by-level do n Generate candidate sequences n Scan database to collect support counts n Use Apriori property to prune candidates n Only generate candidates satisfying Apriori property Advantages n Candidate pruning, scalable
The GSP Mining Process 5 th scan: 1 cand. 1 length-5 seq. pat. Cand. cannot pass sup. threshold <(bd)cba> Cand. not in DB at all 4 th scan: 8 cand. 6 length-4 seq.
Bottlenecks of Apriori–Like Methods n A huge set of candidates could be generated n n n 1, 000 frequent length-1 sequences generate length-2 candidates! Many scans of database in mining Encounter difficulty when mining long sequential patterns n n Exponential number of short candidates A length-100 sequential pattern needs candidate sequences!
Mine Sequential Patterns by Prefix Projections n Step 1: find length-1 sequential patterns n n , ,
Find Seq. Patterns with Prefix n n Only need to consider projections w. r. t. n -projected database: <(abc)(ac)d(cf)>, <(_d)c(bc)(ae)>, <(_b)(df)cb>, <(_f)cbc> Find all the length-2 seq. pat. Having prefix :
Completeness of Prefix. Span SDB SID 10 <(ad)c(bc)(ae)> 30 <(ef)(ab)(df)cb> 40 -projected database <(abc)(ac)d(cf)> <(_d)c(bc)(ae)> <(_b)(df)cb> <(_f)cbc> 20 Having prefix sequence
Efficiency of Prefix. Span n No candidate sequence needs to be generated n Projected databases keep shrinking n Major cost of Prefix. Span: constructing projected databases n Can be improved by bi-level projections
Pair-wise Checking Using S-matrix SDB SID sequence 10 20 <(ad)c(bc)(ae)> 30 <(ef)(ab)(df)cb> 40
Scaling-up by Bi-level Projection n Partition search space based on length-2 sequential patterns n Only form projected databases and pursue recursive mining over bi-level projected databases
Mining
Benefits of Bi-level Projection n More patterns are found in each shoot n Much less projections n In the example, there are 53 patterns. n 53 level-by-level projections n 22 bi-level projections
3 -way Apriori Checking Using Apriori heuristic to prune items in projected databases n n Absorb goodness of Apriori-like algorithms
Speed-up by Pseudo-projection n Major cost of Prefix. Span: projection n n Postfixes of sequences often appear repeatedly in recursive projected databases When the (projected) database fit in memory, use pointers to form projections s= n Pointer to the sequence n Offset of the postfix s|: ( , 2) <(abc)(ac)d(cf)>
Pseudo-Projection vs. Physical Projection n Pseudo-projection avoids physically copying postfixes n Efficient when database fits in main memory n Not efficient when database cannot fit in main memory n n Disk-based random accessing is very costly Suggested Approach: n n Integration of physical and pseudo-projection Swapping to pseudo-projection when the data set fits in memory
Seeing is Believing: Experiments and Performance Analysis n Comparing Prefix. Span with GSP and Free. Span in large databases n n GSP (IBM Almaden, Srikant & Agrawal EDBT’ 96) Free. Span (J. Han J. Pei, B. Mortazavi-Asi, Q. Chen, U. Dayal, M. C. Hsu, KDD’ 00) n Prefix-Span-1 (single-level projection) n Prefix-Scan-2 (bi-level projection) n Comparing effects of pseudo-projection n Comparing I/O cost and scalability
Prefix. Span Is Faster Than GSP and Free. Span
Effect of Pseudo-Projection
I/O Cost: When It Cannot Fit in Memory
Scalability (When DB Is Large)
Major Features of Prefix. Span n Both Prefix. Span and Free. Span are pattern-growth methods n n Searches are more focused and thus efficient Prefix-projected pattern growth (Prefix. Span) is more elegant than frequent pattern-guided projection (Free. Span) Apriori heuristic is integrated into bi-level projection Prefix. Span Pseudo-projection substantially enhances the performance of the memory-based processing
Regular Expression Constraints in the form of an automaton n Deterministic finite automaton for regular expression a*(bb|bcd|dd) a 1 b b 2 d c 3 d 4
Prefix. Span for Constrained Mining n Any prefix failing an RE-constraint cannot lead to a valid pattern n Prune invalid patterns immediately n Only grow prefix satisfying a RE-constraint n Only project items in the remaining of the RE
Conclusions n Prefix. Span: an efficient sequential pattern mining method n n General idea: examine only the prefixes and project only their corresponding postfixes Two kinds of projections: level-by-level & bilevel Pseudo-projection Extending Prefix. Span to mine with REconstraints n Prune invalid prefix immediately
