Abstract

In constrained data mining, users can specify constraintsto prune the search space to avoid mining uninterestingknowledge.This is typically done by specifyingsome initial values of the constraints that aresubsequently refined iteratively until satisfactory resultsare obtained.Existing mining schemes treat each iterationas a distinct mining process, and fail to exploit theinformation generated between iterations.In this paper,we propose to salvage knowledge that is discoveredfrom an earlier iteration of mining to enhance subsequentrounds of mining.In particular, we look at howfrequent patterns can be recycled.Our proposed strategyoperates in two phases.In the first phase, frequentpatterns obtained from an early iteration are used tocompress a database.In the second phase, subsequentmining processes operate on the compressed database.We propose two compression strategies and adapt threeexisting frequent pattern mining techniques to exploitthe compressed database.Results from our extensiveexperimental study show that our proposed recycling algorithmsoutperform their non-recycling counterpart byan order of magnitude.
