Free Pattern Mining Course
Hi all, this is to let you know that I have developed a free pattern mining course that you can watch online. The course is designed to introduce students or researchers to the different topics of pattern mining and explain … Continue reading
What is a maximal itemset?
In data mining, an itemset is a collection of items that occur together in a transactional dataset. For example, if we have a dataset of customer purchases, an itemset could be {bread, cake, orange}, meaning that these three items were … Continue reading
A Glossary of High Utility Pattern Mining
Today, I present a glossary of key terms usedin high utility itemset mining. This glossary will be useful to researchers and practitioners working on this important subtopic of pattern mining. By the way, if you are new to this research … Continue reading
