AbstractRecently, revealing more valuable information except for quantity value for a database is an essential research field. High utility itemset mining (HAUIM) was suggested to reveal useful patterns by average-utility measure for pattern analytics and evaluations. HAUIM provides a more fair assessment than generic high utility itemset mining and ignores the influence of the length of itemsets. There are several high-performance HAUIM algorithms proposed to gain knowledge from a disorganized database. However, most existing works do not concern the uncertainty factor, which is one of the characteristics of data gathered from IoT equipment. In this work, an efficient algorithm for HAUIM to handle the uncertainty databases in IoTs is presented. Two upper-bound values are estimated to early diminish the search space for discovering meaningful patterns that greatly solve the limitations of pattern mining in IoTs. Experimental results showed several evaluations of the proposed approach compared to the existing algorithms, and the results are acceptable to state that the designed approach efficiently reveals high average utility itemsets from an uncertain situation.

AbstractThe high average-utility itemset mining (HAUIM) was established to provide a fair measure instead of genetic high-utility itemset mining (HUIM) for revealing the satisfied and interesting patterns. In practical applications, the database is dynamically changed when insertion/deletion operations are performed on databases. Several works were designed to handle the insertion process but fewer studies focused on processing the deletion process for knowledge maintenance. In this paper, we then develop a PRE-HAUI-DEL algorithm that utilizes the pre-large concept on HAUIM for handling transaction deletion in the dynamic databases. The pre-large concept is served as the buffer on HAUIM that reduces the number of database scans while the database is updated particularly in transaction deletion. Two upper-bound values are also established here to reduce the unpromising candidates early which can speed up the computational cost. From the experimental results, the designed PRE-HAUI-DEL algorithm is well performed compared to the Apriori-like model in terms of runtime, memory, and scalability in dynamic databases.

High utility itemset mining considers unit profits and quantities of items in a transaction database to extract more applicable and more useful association rules. Downward closure property, which causes significant pruning in frequent itemset mining, is not established in the utility of itemsets and so the mining problem will require alternative solutions to reduce its search space and to enhance its efficiency. Using an anti-monotonic upper bound of the utility function and exploiting efficient data structures for storing and compacting the dataset to perform efficient pruning strategies are the main solutions to address high utility itemset mining problem. Different mining methods and techniques have attempted to improve performance of extracting high utility itemsets and their several variants, including high-average utility itemsets, top-k high utility itemsets, and high utility itemsets with negative values, using more efficient data structures, more appropriate anti-monotonic upper bounds, and stronger pruning strategies. This paper aims to represent a comprehensive systematic review for high utility itemset mining techniques and to classify them based on their problem-solving approaches.

High utility itemset mining(HUIM) with negative utility is an emerging data mining task. However, the setting of the minimum utility threshold is always a challenge when mining high utility itemsets(HUIs) with negative items. Although the top-k HUIM method is very common, this method can only mine itemsets with positive items, and the problem of missing itemsets occurs when mining itemsets with negative items. To solve this problem, we first propose an effective algorithm called THN (Top-k High Utility Itemset Mining with Negative Utility). It proposes a strategy for automatically increasing the minimum utility threshold. In order to solve the problem of multiple scans of the database, it uses transaction merging and dataset projection technology. It uses a redefined sub-tree utility value and a redefined local utility value to prune the search space. Experimental results on real datasets show that THN is efficient in terms of runtime and memory usage, and has excellent scalability. Moreover, experiments show that THN performs particularly well on dense datasets.

In recent years, the data analysts are facing many challenges in high utility itemset (HUI) mining from given transactional database using existing traditional techniques. The challenges in utility mining algorithms are exponentially growing search space and the minimum utility threshold appropriate to the given database. To overcome these challenges, evolutionary algorithm-based techniques can be used to mine the HUI from transactional database. However, testing each of the supporting functions in the optimization problem is very inefficient and it increases the time complexity of the algorithm. To overcome this drawback, reinforcement learning-based approach is proposed for improving the efficiency of the algorithm, and the most appropriate fitness function for evaluation can be selected automatically during execution of an algorithm. Furthermore, during the optimization process when distinct functions are skillful, dynamic selection of current optimal function is done.

The adaptive coordination of trust services can provide highly dependable and personalized solutions for industrial requirements in the service-oriented industrial internet of things (IIoT) architecture to achieve efficient utilization of service resources. Although great progress has been made, trust service coordination still faces challenging problems such as trustless industry service, poor coordination, and quality of service (QoS) personalized demand. In this paper, we propose a QoS-driven and adaptive trust service coordination method to implement Pareto-efficient allocation of limited industrial service resources in the background of the IIoT. First, we established a Pareto-effective and adaptive industrial IoT trust service coordination model and introduced a blockchain-based adaptive trust evaluation mechanism to achieve trust evaluation of industrial services. Then, taking advantage of a large and complex search space for solution efficiency, we introduced and compared multi-objective gray-wolf algorithms with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) and dragonfly algorithms. The experimental results showed that by judging and blacklisting malicious raters quickly and accurately, our model can efficiently realize self-adaptive, personalized, and intelligent trust service coordination under the given constraints, improving not only the response time, but also the success rate in coordination.

High Utility Itemset Mining (HUIM) is one of the most investigated tasks of data mining. It has broad applications in domains such as product recommendation, market basket analysis, e-learning, text mining, bioinformatics, and web click stream analysis. Insights from such pattern analysis provide numerous benefits, including cost cutting, improved competitive advantage, and increased revenue. However, HUIM methods may discover misleading patterns as they do not evaluate the correlation of extracted patterns. As a consequence, a number of algorithms have been proposed to mine correlated HUIs. These algorithms still suffer from the issue of the computational cost in terms of both time and memory consumption. This paper presents an algorithm, named Efficient Correlated High Utility Pattern Mining (ECoHUPM), to efficiently mine the high utility patterns having strong correlation items. A new data structure based on utility tree (UTtree) named CoUTlist is proposed to store sufficient information for mining the desired patterns. Three pruning properties are introduced to reduce the search space and improve the mining performance. Experiments on sparse, very sparse, dense, and very dense datasets indicate that the proposed ECoHUPM algorithm is efficient as compared to the state-of-the-art CoHUIM and CoHUI-Miner algorithms in terms of both time and memory consumption.

Abstract High-utility itemset mining (HUIM) is considered as an emerging approach to detect the high-utility patterns from databases. Most existing algorithms of HUIM only consider the itemset utility regardless of the length. This limitation raises the utility as a result of a growing itemset size. High average-utility itemset mining (HAUIM) considers the size of the itemset, thus providing a more balanced scale to measure the average-utility for decision-making. Several algorithms were presented to efficiently mine the set of high average-utility itemsets (HAUIs) but most of them focus on handling static databases. In the past, a fast-updated (FUP)-based algorithm was developed to efficiently handle the incremental problem but it still has to re-scan the database when the itemset in the original database is small but there is a high average-utility upper-bound itemset (HAUUBI) in the newly inserted transactions. In this paper, an efficient framework called PRE-HAUIMI for transaction insertion in dynamic databases is developed, which relies on the average-utility-list (AUL) structures. Moreover, we apply the pre-large concept on HAUIM. A pre-large concept is used to speed up the mining performance, which can ensure that if the total utility in the newly inserted transaction is within the safety bound, the small itemsets in the original database could not be the large ones after the database is updated. This, in turn, reduces the recurring database scans and obtains the correct HAUIs. Experiments demonstrate that the PRE-HAUIMI outperforms the state-of-the-art batch mode HAUI-Miner, and the state-of-the-art incremental IHAUPM and FUP-based algorithms in terms of runtime, memory, number of assessed patterns and scalability.

In the ever-growing world, the concepts of High-utility Itemset Mining (HUIM) as well as Frequent Itemset Mining (FIM) are fundamental works in knowledge discovery. Several algorithms have been designed successfully. However, these algorithms only used one factor to estimate an itemset. In the past, skyline pattern mining by considering both aspects of frequency and utility has been extensively discussed. In most cases, however, people tend to focus on purchase quantities of itemsets rather than frequencies. In this article, we propose a new knowledge called skyline quantity-utility pattern (SQUP) to provide better estimations in the decision-making process by considering quantity and utility together. Two algorithms, respectively, called SQU-Miner and SKYQUP are presented to efficiently mine the set of SQUPs. Moreover, the usage of volunteer computing is proposed to show the potential in real supermarket applications. Two new efficient utility-max structures are also mentioned for the reduction of the candidate itemsets, respectively, utilized in SQU-Miner and SKYQUP. These two new utility-max structures are used to store the upper-bound of utility for itemsets under the quantity constraint instead of frequency constraint, and the second proposed utility-max structure moreover applies a recursive updated process to further obtain strict upper-bound of utility. Our in-depth experimental results prove that SKYQUP has stronger performance when a comparison is made to SQU-Miner in terms of memory usage, runtime, and the number of candidates.
