This is just a short blog post to let you know that SPMF 2.63 is released on the SPMF website, with some new features such as the Visual Pattern Viewer (to display patterns visually), and also some new algorithms and several bug fixes.
The list of changes in SPMF 2.64 can be found on the download page.
Here, just to give you a glimpse of this new version, here is a screenshot of the Visual Pattern Viewer, utilized for viewing sequential patterns:
The Visual Pattern Viewer can be used to explore patterns visually with search and filter function and can display a large number of different pattern types like association rules, itemsets and more.
And here is the list of new algorithms in SPMF 2.63:
- The EMDO algorithm for mining frequent parallel episodes and episode rules in complex event sequences by counting distinct occurrences (thanks to Oualid Ouarem et al. for the original code).
- the EMDO-Rules for generating episode rules from parallel episodes found by EMDO. (Ouarem et al., 2024)
- The RMiner algorithm for high utility itemset mining (thanks to Pushp Sra et al. for the original code).
- The ScentedUtilityMiner algorithm for high utility itemset mining with a recency constraint using reinduction counters (thanks to Pushp Sra et al. for the original code).
- The Density Peak Clustering (DPC) algorithm for clustering vectors of numbers
- The AEDBScan algorithm for clustering vectors of numbers
What’s next?
The development of SPMF is always ongoing. If you want to contribute code of new algorithms, feel free to contact with me with your code.
Hope you enjoy this new version of SPMF. For the next version 2.64, there will be more new algorithms and some further performance improvement. I expect that it would be released this Autumn.
