Outlines • Motivation • Objectives • Methodology • Experiments • Conclusions • Comments
Motivation • Number of trends may be identified, too many to allow simple inspection by decision makers. Some mechanism was therefore required to allow the simple presentation of trend lines.
Objectives • Generating frequent pattern trends,and use SOM technology a process for assisting the analysis of the identified trends, and to identify ‘‘interesting’’ changes in trends.
Methodology - Frequent pattern trend mining (TM-TFP) Input: Data set :{t1,t2,..,tn}, ti={a,…,z} a={a1,a2,…,an}, support:3 Interestpattern: {a,c,s} Example: support:3 Interestpattern: {a,c,s} ID Item set ordered
Methodology - Frequent pattern trend mining (TM-TFP) id {a,b,c,d}={0,0,2500,3311,2718,0,0,0,2779} {a,b,c,e}={3,12,6,0,100,2437,0,56,79} {a,c,e,f}={0,0,0,2568,345,23,90,0,459} Conditions Target Frequent pattern Conditions Target tree ID m m
Methodology – Trend clustering Input: v1,v1,..,vn Process: ||V – Wi || = min { ||V – Wj || } Output: BMU
Conclusions • By employing the SOM clustering technique, the large number of trend lines that are typically identified may be grouped to facilitate a better understanding of the nature of the trends.
Comments • Advantages - a better understanding of the nature of the trends. Applications - self organizing map
