Abstract

This paper presents an efficient data mining technique for modeling multidimensional time variant data series and its suitability for mining emerging events in a spatiotemporal environment. The data is modeled using a data structure that interleaves a clustering method with a dynamic Markov chain. Novel operations are used for deleting obsolete states, and finding emerging events based on a scoring scheme. The model is incremental, scalable, adaptive, and suitable for online processing. Algorithm analysis and experiments demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed technique.
