Abstract

Data mining on graph traversals has been an active research during recent years. However, traditional traversal patterns mining algorithms only considered un-weighted traversals, and they are most un-sequential patterns mining algorithms. Based on the property that the traversal pattern and the items in it are consecutive, this paper regards a traversal patter as a particular sequential pattern and proposes a new algorithm, called WTSPMiner(WeightedTraversal-basedSequential Patterns Miner), to mine weightedsequential patterns from traversals on weighted directed graph. Adopting an improved weighted prefix-projected pattern growth approach, WTSPMinerdecompose the task of mining original sequence database into a series of smaller tasks of mining locally projected database so as to efficiently discover fewer but important weighted sequential patterns. Comprehensive experimental results show that WTSPMineris efficient and scalable for finding weighted sequential patterns from weighted graph traversals.
