Abstract

In this paper, we presented a frequent pattern based framework for event detection in stream data, it consists of frequent pattern discovery, frequent pattern selection and modeling three phases: In the first phase, a MNOE (Mining Non-Overlapping Episode) algorithm is proposed to find the non-overlapping frequent pattern in time series. In the frequent pattern selection phase, we proposed an EGMAMC (Episode Generated Memory Aggregation Markov Chain) model to help us selecting episodes which can describe stream data significantly. Then we defined feature flows to represent the instances of discovered frequent patterns and categorized the distribution of frequent pattern instances into three categories according to the spectrum of their feature flows. At last, we proposed a clustering algorithm EDPA (Event Detection by Pattern Aggregation) to aggregate strongly correlated frequent patterns together. We argue that strongly correlated frequent patterns form events and frequent patterns in different categories can be aggregated to form different kinds of events. Experiments on real-world sensor network datasets demonstrate that the proposed MNOE algorithm is more efficient than the existing non-overlapping episode mining algorithm and EDPA performs better when the input frequent patterns are maximal, significant and non-overlapping.
