Abstract
Due to the inherent flexibilities in both structure and semantics, XML association rules mining faces few challenges, such as: a more complicated hierarchical data structure and ordered data context. Mining frequent patterns from XML documents can be recast as mining frequent tree structures from a database of XML documents. In this study, we model a database of XML documents as a database of rooted labeled ordered subtrees. In particular, we are mainly concerned with mining frequent induced and embedded ordered subtrees. Our main contributions are as follows. We describe our unique embedding list representation of the tree structure, which enables efficient implementation of our Tree Model Guided (TMG) candidate generation. TMG is an optimal, nonredundant enumeration strategy that enumerates all the valid candidates that conform to the structural aspects of the data. We show through a mathematical model and experiments that TMG has better complexity compared to the commonly used join approach. In this article, we propose two algorithms, MB3-Miner and iMB3-Miner. MB3-Miner mines embedded subtrees. iMB3-Miner mines induced and/or embedded subtrees by using the maximum level of embedding constraint. Our experiments with both synthetic and real datasets against two well-known algorithms for mining induced and embedded subtrees, demonstrate the effectiveness and the efficiency of the proposed techniques.

UNI3 - efficient algorithm for mining unordered induced subtrees using TMG candidate generation

TL;DR: The proposed UNI3 algorithm considers both transaction based and occurrence match support, and is motivated by the fact that in many applications of frequent subtree mining the order among siblings is not considered important.

Frequent subtree mining on the automata processor: challenges and opportunities

TL;DR: A hybrid method to combine AP-FTM with a CPU exact-matching approach, and achieve up to 262X speedup over PatternMatcher on a challenging database, and the results on a synthetic database show the AP advantage grows further with larger datasets.

Mining Rooted Ordered Trees under Subtree Homeomorphism

TL;DR: This paper proposes a compact data-structure, called occ, which stores only information about the rightmost paths of occurrences and hence can encode and represent several occurrences of a tree pattern, and develops an effective pattern mining algorithm, called TPMiner.

Efficiently Mining Unordered Trees

TL;DR: This paper introduces three new tree encodings and presents an efficient algorithm for finding frequent patterns from rooted unordered trees with the assumption that children of every node in database trees are identically labeled and proposes the UITree algorithm, which significantly outperforms the most efficient existing works on mining un ordered trees.
