Summary
In data mining, frequent itemsets (FIs) and association rules play an important role. Due to the high number of patterns, various concise representations of FIs have been proposed, of which the most well-known representations are the frequent generators (FGs) and the frequent closed itemsets (FCIs). We present some vertical algorithms that are designed to extract FGs and FCIs from a dataset. Using the output of these algorithms, one can generate the set of minimal non-redundant association rules very easily.
Frequent itemsets have been studied in detail in the literature. However, in some cases, rare itemsets and rare association rules can also contain important information just as frequent itemsets do. A particularly relevant field for rare itemsets is medical diagnosis for instance.
At the end of the seminar we will show briefly our software toolkit called Coron, which incorporates a rich collection of data mining algorithms.
