Abstract

Data mining algorithms applied on the temporally sequenced data generate temporal patterns. A temporal pattern has a set of states and the temporal relationship among these states. When the number of generated patterns becomes large, it becomes essential to do post-processing of these patterns. The post-processing generally consists of storing the generated patterns in the database and later retrieving them by issuing content-based queries. In this paper, a novel method of indexing the database of temporal patterns is presented for efficient retrieval of selected patterns from a large database. The indexing technique proposed here, can handle the multiple states and relationships among the states of temporal patterns and retains the sequence among the states of the patterns. This new index structure, called Sequential Bitmap, is very efficient for content-based queries and shows significant improvements over the existing indexes.
