Abstract

Mining frequent patterns from datasets is one of the key success stories of data mining research. Currently, most of the works focus on independent data, such as the items in the marketing basket. However, the objects in the real world often have close relationship with each other. How to extract frequent patterns from these relations is the objective in this paper. We use graphs to model the relations, and select a simple type for analysis. Combining the graph theory and algorithms to generate frequent patterns, a new algorithm Topology, which can mine these graphs efficiently, has been proposed. We evaluate the performance of the algorithm by doing experiments with synthetic datasets and real data. The experimental results show that Topology can do the job well. At the end of this paper, the potential improvement is mentioned.
