Maximal frequent itemsets are one of several condensed representations of frequent itemsets, which store most of the information contained in frequent itemsets using less space, thus being more suitable for stream mining. This paper focuses on mining maximal frequent itemsets approximately over a stream landmark model. A false negative method is proposed based on Chernoff Bound to save the computing and memory cost. Our experimental results on a real world dataset show that our algorithm is effective and efficient.

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.

In many real-life datasets, the number of extracted frequent patterns was shown to be huge, hampering the effective exploitation of such amount of knowledge by human experts. To overcome this limitation, exact condensed representations were introduced in order to offer a small-sized set of elements from which the faithful retrieval of all frequent patterns is possible. In this paper, we introduce a new exact condensed representation only based on particular elements from the disjunctive search space. In this space, a pattern is characterized by its disjunctive support, i.e., the frequency of complementary occurrences – instead of the ubiquitous co-occurrence link – of its items. For several benchmark datasets, this representation has been shown interesting in compactness terms compared to the pioneering approaches of the literature. In this respect, we mainly focus here on proposing an efficient tool for mining this representation. For this purpose, we introduce an algorithm, called DSSRM, dedicated to this task. We also propose several techniques to optimize its mining time as well as its memory consumption. The carried out empirical study on benchmark datasets shows that DSSRM is faster by several orders of magnitude than the MEP algorithm.
