Frequent Itemsets Mining

In data mining, Frequent Itemsets Mining is a technique used in several domains with notable results. However, the large volume of data in modern datasets increases the processing time of Frequent Itemset Mining algorithms, making them unsuitable for many real-world applications. Accordingly, proposing new methods for Frequent Itemset Mining to obtain frequent itemsets in a realistic amount of time is still an open problem. A successful alternative is to employ hardware acceleration using Graphics Processing Units (GPU) and Field Programmable Gates Arrays (FPGA). In this article, a comprehensive review of the state of the art of Frequent Itemsets Mining hardware acceleration is presented. Several approaches (FPGA and GPU based) were contrasted to show their weaknesses and strengths. This survey gathers the most relevant and the latest research efforts for improving the performance of Frequent Itemsets Mining regarding algorithms advances and modern development platforms. Furthermore, this survey organizes the current research on Frequent Itemsets Mining from the hardware perspective considering the source of the data, the development platform, and the baseline algorithm.

The streams where multiple transactions are associated with the same key are prevalent in practice, e.g., a customer has multiple shopping records arriving at different time. Itemset frequency estimation on such streams is very challenging since sampling based methods, such as the popularly used reservoir sampling, cannot be used. In this article, we propose a novel k -Minimum Value (KMV) synopsis based method to estimate the frequency of itemsets over multi-transaction streams. First, we extract the KMV synopses for each item from the stream. Then, we propose a novel estimator to estimate the frequency of an itemset over the KMV synopses. Comparing to the existing estimator, our method is not only more accurate and efficient to calculate but also follows the downward-closure property. These properties enable the incorporation of our new estimator with existing frequent itemset mining (FIM) algorithm (e.g., FP-Growth) to mine frequent itemsets over multi-transaction streams. To demonstrate this, we implement a KMV synopsis based FIM algorithm by integrating our estimator into existing FIM algorithms, and we prove it is capable of guaranteeing the accuracy of FIM with a bounded size of KMV synopsis. Experimental results on massive streams show our estimator can significantly improve on the accuracy for both estimating itemset frequency and FIM compared to the existing estimators.

As data volumes continue to grow, they quickly consume the capacity of data warehouses and application databases. Is your IT organization forced into costly upgrades to expensive databases and data warehouse hardware appliances and enormous amount of data is getting explored through Internet of Things (IoT) as technologies are advancing and people uses these technologies in day to day activities, this data is termed as Big Data having its characteristics and challenges. Frequent Itemset Mining algorithms are aimed to disclose frequent itemsets from transactional database but as the dataset size increases, it cannot be handled by traditional frequent itemset mining. MapReduce programming model solves the problem of large datasets but it has large communication cost which reduces execution efficiency. This proposed new pre-processed k-means technique applied on BigFIM algorithm. ClustBigFIM uses hybrid approach, clustering using k-means algorithm to generate Clusters from huge datasets and Apriori and Eclat to mine frequent itemsets from generated clusters using MapReduce programming model. Results shown that execution efficiency of ClustBigFIM algorithm is increased by applying k-means clustering algorithm before BigFIM algorithm as one of the pre-processing technique.

Frequent itemset mining (FIM) is a data mining idea with extracting frequent itemset from a database. Finding frequent itemsets in existing methods accept that datasets are static or steady and enlisted guidelines are pertinent all through the total dataset. In any case, this isn't the situation when information is temporal which contains time-related data that changes data mining results. Patterns may occur during all or at specific interims, to limit time interims, frequent itemset mining with time cube is proposed to manage time arranges in the mining technique. This is how patterns are perceived that happen occasionally, in a period interim, or both. Thus, this paper mostly centres around developing up a productive calculation to mine frequent itemsets and their related time interval from a value-based database by expanding from the earlier calculation dependent on support and density as another edge. Density is proposed to deal with the overestimated timespan issue and to ensure the authenticity of the patterns found. As an extension from the current framework, here the density rate and minimum threshold is dynamically generated which is user determined parameter previously. Likewise, an analysis concerning time is made between dataset with partitioning and without apportioning the dataset, which shows computation time is less on account of partitioning technique.

The process of extracting the most frequently bought items from a transactional database is termed as frequent itemset mining. Although it provides us with an idea of the best-selling itemsets, the method fails to identify the most profitable items from the database. It is not uncommon to have minimal intersection between frequent itemsets and profitable itemsets, and the process of extracting the most profitable itemsets is termed as Greater Profitable Itemset (GPI) mining. There have been various approaches to mine GPI in which [7] proposed a two-phased algorithm to optimize regeneration of GPI when the profit value of any item changes. This constituted of keeping track of the pruned items in the first phase and using it to efficiently regenerate GPI in the second phase. This paper proposes an enhancement to the way these changes are tracked by storing the pruned itemsets according to their constituent items, unlike the earlier algorithm that stored records iteration wise. By storing the itemsets according to their constituent items, we make sure that only the required items are being retrieved. In contrast, the earlier algorithm would fetch all the items pruned in any iteration, regardless of its relevance. By fetching only relevant itemset, the proposed method would significantly bring down the computational requirements.

In recent year, frequent Itemset Mining (FIM) has occurred as a vital role in data mining tasks. The search of FIM in a transactions data is discovered in this paper, pull out hidden pattern from transactions data. The main two limitation of the Apriori algorithm are undertaken, first, its scans the complete Databases at every passes to compute the supports of every itemset produced and secondly, the user defined responsive to variation of min_sup (minimum supports) thresholds. In this paper, proposed methodology called frequent Itemset Mining in unique Scan (FIMUS), needs a scan only one time of transaction databases to extract frequent itemsets. The generation of a static numbers of candidate Itemset is an exclusive feature, individually from the threshold of min_sup, which reduces the execution time for huge database. The proposed algorithm FIMUS is compared with Apriori algorithm using benchmark database for a dense databases. The experimental result confirms the scalability of FIMUS.

Parallel processing has turn to be a common programming practice because of its efficiency and thus becomes an interesting field for researchers. With the introduction of multi- core processors as well as general purpose graphics processing units, parallel programming has become affordable. This leads to the parallelization of many of the complex data processing algorithms including algorithms in data mining. In this paper, a study on parallel PrePost+ is presented. PrePost+ is an efficient frequent itemset mining algorithm. The algorithm has been modified as a parallel algorithm and the obtained result is compared with the result of sequential PrePost+ algorithm
