Abstract

A lot of works address the mining of patterns under constraints. The search space is reduced by taking advantage of pruning conditions on patterns, typically by using anti-monotone and monotone properties. In this paper, we introduce two virtual patterns in order to automatically deduce pruning conditions from any constraint coming from the primitive-based framework which gathers a large set of varied constraints. These virtual patterns enable us to provide negative and positive pruning conditions according to the generalization and the specialization of patterns. We show that these pruning conditions are monotone or anti-monotone and can be pushed into usual constraint mining algorithms. Experiments carried on several contexts show that our proposals improve the mining.
