TL;DR

This paper presents an approach, called PSP, for mining sequential patterns embedded in a database that resumes the general principles of GSP but makes use of a different intermediary data structure which is proved to be more efficient than in GSP.

Abstract

In this paper, we present an approach, called PSP, for mining sequential patterns embedded in a database. Close to the problem of discovering association rules, mining sequential patterns requires handling time constraints. Originally introduced in [3], the issue is addressed by the GSP approach [10]. Our proposal resumes the general principles of GSP but it makes use of a different intermediary data structure which is proved to be more efficient than in GSP.
