Sliding Window Based High Utility Item-Sets Mining over Data Stream Using Extended Global Utility Item-Sets Tree

High utility item-sets mining(HUIM)is a special topic in frequent item-sets mining(FIM). It gives better insights for business growth by focusing on the utility of items in a transaction. HUIM is evolving as a powerful research area due to its vast applications in many fields. Data stream processing, meanwhile, is an interesting and challenging problem since, processing very fast generating a huge amount of data with limited resources strongly demands high-performance algorithms. This paper presents an innovative idea to extract the high utility item-sets (HUIs) from the dynamic data stream by applying sliding window control. Even though certain algorithms exist to solve the same problem, they allow redundant processing or reprocessing of data. To overcome this, the proposed algorithm used a trie like structure called Extended Global Utility Item-sets tree (EGUI-tree), which is flexible to store and retrieve the mined information instead of reprocessing. An experimental study on real-world datasets proved that EGUI-tree algorithm is faster than the state-of-the-art algorithms.
