On the Completeness of the CloSpan and IncSpan algorithms
In this blog post, I will briefly discuss the fact that the popular CloSpan algorithm for frequent sequential pattern mining is an incomplete algorithm. This means that in some special situations, CloSpan does not produce the expected results that it has been designed for, and in particular some patterns are … Continue reading

IEEE and its language polishing service
Many researchers are not native English speakers but need to write research papers in English, as it is the common language for sharing ideas with other researchers worldwide. Some papers are very well-written, others are not so well-written but are still readable, … Continue reading
Brief report about the WICON 2017 conference
This week-end, I have attended the WICON 2017 conference in Tianjin, China to present a research paper about the application of data mining to analyze data from water meters installed in the City of Moncton, Canada. In this post, I will give a brief overview of the WICON 2017 conference. About the conference This … Continue reading
Introduction to the Apriori algorithm (with Java code)
This blog post provides an introduction to the Apriori algorithm, a classic data mining algorithm for the problem of frequent itemset mining. Although Apriori was introduced in 1993, more than 20 years ago, Apriori remains one of the most important data mining algorithms, not because it is the fastest, but because it has … Continue reading

Do not link to impact factors, they will censor you!
On July 20 2017, I received an e-mail from a company called Clarivate Analytics Trademark Enforcement ( legal@ip-clarivateanalytics.com ) about copyright infringement for the Journal Citation Reports, a product by Thomson Reuters. They contact with me because a few years ago I have created a webpage that … Continue reading
How to publish in top conferences/journals? (Part 2) – The opportunity cost of research
