Effective and Efficient Itemset Pattern Summarization: Regression-based Approaches

Muad Abu-Ata
(Doctoral Student Presentation)



One major problem in frequent pattern mining is the huge number of patterns being produced. Many summarization methods have been proposed but generally they don't provide a good representation of the frequent patterns in term of the ratio of compression, coverage and frequency inference (restoration). We implemented different summarization approaches based on the linear regression model to optimize frequency estimation.
