Outline • Why multidimensional sequential pattern mining? • Problem definition • UniSeq Algorithms • Dim-Seq and Seq-Dim • Experimental results • Conclusions
Why Sequential Pattern Mining? • Sequential pattern mining: Finding time-related frequent patterns (frequent subsequences) • Many data and applications are time-related • Customer shopping patterns, telephone calling patterns • Natural disasters (e.g., earthquake, hurricane) • Disease and treatment • Stock market fluctuation • Weblog click stream analysis • DNA sequence analysis
A sequence : <(bd) c b (ac)> Seq. ID Sequence Elements 10 <(bd)cb(ac)> 20 <(bf)(ce)b(fg)> 30 <(ah)(bf)abf> 40 <(be)(ce)d> 50 <a(bd)bcb(ade)> Sequential Pattern: Basics A sequence database <ad(ae)> is a subsequence of <a(bd)bcb(ade)> Given support threshold min_sup =2, <(bd)cb> is a sequential pattern
Multi-Dimenesion Sequence Database • If support =2, P is a MD sequential pattern • P=(*,Chicago,*,<bf>) matches tuple 20 and 30
Problem definition • Sequential patterns are useful • “try a 100 hour free internet access package” “subscribe to 15 hours/mouth package” “ upgrade to 30 hours/mouth package” “upgrade to unlimited package” • Marketing, product design & development • Problems: lack of focus • Various groups of customers may have different patterns • MD-sequential pattern mining: integrate multi-dimensional analysis and sequential pattern mining
UniSeq • Embed MD information into sequences Mine the extended sequence database using sequential pattern mining methods Table1 SDB Table2 SDBMD
UniSeq(cont.) • Sequence database SDBMD can be mined using PrefixSpan. • First scan the database, PrefixSpan finds all the single-item frequent sequence. these are <business>:2, <Chicago>:2, <middle>:2, <a>:2, <b>:4, <C>:3, <e>:2 and <f>:2. • The complete set of sequential patterns can then be partitioned into 8 subsets.
UniSeq(cont.) • Ex: the <chicago>-projected database contains two postfix sequences: <(bf)(ce)f> and < middle aabf>. • Then print out the sequential pattern <chicago>, and find this projected database. • They are :<b> and <f>, which form the sequential paterns “<chicago b>:2” and “<Chicago f>:2” respectively. • However, <Chicago b>-projected database contains postfix sequences for:<(-f)f> and <f> with one frequent item between them • find “”<Chicago bf>:2” (*,Chicago,*,<bf>)
Mine Sequential Patterns by Prefix Projections • Step 1: find length-1 sequential patterns • <a>, <b>, <c>, <d>, <e>, <f> • Step 2: divide search space. The complete set of seq. pat. can be partitioned into 6 subsets: • The ones having prefix <a>; • The ones having prefix <b>; • … • The ones having prefix <f>
Find Seq. Patterns with Prefix <a> • Only need to consider projections <a> • <a>-projected database: <(abc)(ac)d(cf)>, <(_d)c(bc)(ae)>, <(_b)(df)cb>, <(_f)cbc> • Find all the length-2 seq. pat. Having prefix <a>: <aa>, <ab>, <(ab)>, <ac>, <ad>, <af> • Further partition into 6 subsets • Having prefix <aa>; • … • Having prefix <af>
Completeness of PrefixSpan SDB Length-1 sequential patterns <a>, <b>, <c>, <d>, <e>, <f> Having prefix <c>, …, <f> Having prefix <a> Having prefix <b> <a>-projected database <(abc)(ac)d(cf)> <(_d)c(bc)(ae)> <(_b)(df)cb> <(_f)cbc> <b>-projected database … Length-2 sequential patterns <aa>, <ab>, <(ab)>, <ac>, <ad>, <af> … … Having prefix <aa> Having prefix <af> … <aa>-proj. db <af>-proj. db
Efficiency of PrefixSpan • No candidate sequence needs to be generated • Projected databases keep shrinking • Major cost of PrefixSpan: constructing projected databases
Dim-Seq • First find MD-patterns • E.g. (*,Chicago,*) • Form projected sequence database • <(bf)(ce)(fg)> and <(ah)abf> for (*,Chicago,*) • Find seq. pat in projected database • E.g. (*,Chicago,*,<bf>)
Seq-Dim • Find sequential patterns • E.g. <bf> • Form projected MD-database • E.g. (Professional,Chicago,Young) and (Business,Chicago,Middle) for <bf> • Mine MD-patterns • E.g. (*,Chicago,*,<bf>)
Dim-Seq and Seq-Dim • The problem of multi-dimensional sequential pattern mining problem can reduced to two sub-problem: sequential pattern mining and MD-pattern mining • As introduced before, sequential pattern mining can be done efficiently by PrefixSpan. • For MD-pattern mining, we adopt a BUC-like algorithm.

Mining MD-Patterns(BUC-like) (cust-grp,city,age-grp) (cust-grp,city) Cust-grp,*,age-grp) (*,city,*) (*,*,age-grp) (cust-grp,*,*) BUC processing All
Experimental results • Run on Pentium III pc with 1G main memory . • Using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 • In this dataset, the number of items is set to 10,000, while the number of sequence is 10,000. The average number of items within each element is 2.5. The average number of elements in one sequence is 8.
Pros & Cons of Algorithms • Seq-Dim is efficient and scalable • Fastest in most cases • UniSeq is also efficient and scalable • Fastest with low dimensionality • Dim-Seq has poor scalability
Conclusions • MD seq. pat. mining are interesting and useful • Mining MD seq. pat. efficiently • Uniseq, Dim-Seq, and Seq-Dim • Future work • Applications of sequential pattern mining
