ABSTRACT

The sequential pattern mining generates the sequential patterns. It can be used as the input of another program for retrieving the information from the large collection of data. It requires a large amount of memory as well as numerous I/O operations. Multistage operations reduce the efficiency of the algorithm. The given GACP is based on graph representation and avoids recursively reconstructing intermediate trees during the mining process. The algorithm also eliminates the need of repeatedly scanning the database. A graph used in GACP is a data structure accessed starting at its first node called root and each node of a graph is either a leaf or an interior node. An interior node has one or more child nodes, thus from the root to any node in the graph defines a sequence. After construction of the graph the pruning technique called clustering is used to retrieve the records from the graph. The algorithm can be used to mine the database using compact memory based data structures and cleaver pruning methods.
