In particular, many complete and efficient algorithms for frequent closed set mining are now available. Generalizing such a task to n-ary relations (n ≥ 2) appears as a timely challenge. It may be important for many applications, for example, when adding the time dimension to the popular objects × features binary case. The generality of the task (no assumption being made on the relation arity or on the size of its attribute domains) makes it computationally challenging. We introduce an algorithm called Data-Peeler. From an n-ary relation, it extracts all closed n-sets satisfying given piecewise (anti) monotonic constraints. This new class of constraints generalizes both monotonic and antimonotonic constraints. Considering the special case of ternary relations, Data-Peeler outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms CubeMiner and Trias by orders of magnitude. These good performances must be granted to a new clever enumeration strategy allowing to efficiently enforce the closeness property. The relevance of the extracted closed n-sets is assessed on real-life 3-and 4-ary relations. Beyond natural 3-or 4-ary relations, expanding a relation with an additional attribute can help in enforcing rather abstract constraints such as the robustness with respect to binarization. Furthermore, a collection of closed n-sets is shown to be an excellent starting point to compute a tiling of the dataset. %Z %U %+ %^ %0 %0 Conference Proceedings %A Cerf, Loïc; Besson, Jérémy; Robardet, Céline & Boulicaut, Jean-Francois %D 2008 %T Data-Peeler: Constraint-based Closed Pattern Mining in n-ary Relations %E %B Proc.

In such systems users are setting up lightweight conceptual structures called folksonomies. Unlike ontologies, shared conceptualizations are not formalized, but rather implicit. We present a new data mining task, the mining of all frequent tri-concepts, together with an efficient algorithm, for discovering these implicit shared conceptualizations. Our approach extends the data mining task of discovering all closed itemsets to three-dimensional data structures to allow for mining folksonomies. We provide a formal definition of the problem, and present an efficient algorithm for its solution. Finally, we show the applicability of our approach on three large real-world examples. %Z %U http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/pub/pdf/jaeschke2008discovering.pdf %+ %^ %0 %0 Conference Proceedings %A Jäschke, Robert; Hotho, Andreas; Schmitz, Christoph & Stumme, Gerd %D 2007 %T Analysis of the Publication Sharing Behaviour in BibSonomy %E Priss, U.; Polovina, S. & Hill, R. %B Proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS 2007) %C Berlin, Heidelberg %I Springer-Verlag %V 4604 %6 %N %P 283--295 %& %Y %S Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence %7 %8 July %9 %? %! %Z %@ 3-540-73680-8 %( %) %* %L %M %1 %2 %3 inproceedings %4 %# %$ %F jaeschke2007analysis %K 2007, analysis, bibsonomy, bookmarking, fca, folksonomy, iccs, l3s, myown, ol_tut2010, social, trias %X BibSonomy is a web-based social resource sharing system which allows users to organise and share bookmarks and publications in a collaborative manner.
