Popis: In recent decade, utility mining has attracted a great attention, but most of the existing studies are developed to deal with itemset-based data. Different from the itemset-based data, the time-ordered sequence data is more commonly seen in real-world situations. Current utility mining algorithms have the limitation when dealing with sequence data since they are time-consuming and require large amount of memory usage. In this paper, we propose an efficient Projection-based Utility Mining (ProUM) approach to discover high-utility sequential patterns from sequence data. The utility-array structure is designed to store necessary information of sequence-order and utility. By utilizing the projection technique in generating utility-array, ProUM can significantly improve the mining efficiency, and effectively reduce the memory consumption. Besides, we propose a new upper bound named sequence extension utility. Several pruning strategies are further applied to improve the efficiency of ProUM. Experimental results show that the proposed ProUM algorithm significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms.
