Abstract

Sequence mining is an active research field of data mining because algorithms designed in that domain lead to various valuable applications. To increase efficiency of basic sequence mining algorithms, generally based on a levelwise approach, more recent algorithms try to introduce some constraints to prune the search space during the discovery process. Nevertheless, existing algorithms are actually limited to extract frequent sequences made up of items of a database. In this paper, we generalize the notion of sequence to define what we call logical sequence where each element of a sequence may contain some logical variables. Then we show how we can extend constrained sequence mining to constrained frequent logical sequence mining1.
