Abstract

Sequential Patterns has many diverse applications in many fields recently. And it has become one of the most important issues of Data Mining. The major problem in previous studies of mining sequential patterns is too many candidates sequences has been generated during the mining process, costing computing power and increasing runtime. In this paper we propose a new algorithm, Fast Accumulation Lattice (FAL) to alleviate this problem. FAL scan sequential database only once to construct the lattice structure which is a quasi-compressed data representation of original sequential database. The advantages of FAL are: reduce scan times, reduce searching space and minimize requirement of memory for searching frequent sequences, and maximal frequent sequences as well.
