Abstract

Computing the minimal transversals of a hypergraph isan important problem in computer science that has significantapplications in data mining. In this paper, we present anew algorithm for computing hypergraph transversals andhighlight their close connection to an important class ofpatterns known as emerging patterns. We evaluate our techniqueon a number of large datasets and show that it out-performsprevious approaches by a factor of 9-29 times.
