  1. CPS 196.03: Information Management and Mining Constraint-based Mining, First programming project

  2. Where we are headed • First programming project: • On constraint-based association rule mining • Month-long, demo and report, 15% of grade • Due: March 2 • Data warehousing • Multi-billion dollar industry, fast growing • Web data management and mining

  3. Constraint-based (Query-Directed) Mining • Let us start with an example • Sales(customer_id, item_id, date) • Lives_in(customer_id, city, state) • Items(item_id, group, price)

  4. Constraint-based (Query-Directed) Mining • Finding all the patterns in a database autonomously? — unrealistic! • The patterns could be too many but not focused! • Data mining should be an interactive process • User directs what to be mined using a data mining query language (or a graphical user interface) • Constraint-based mining • User flexibility: provides constraints on what to be mined • System optimization: explores such constraints for efficient mining—constraint-based mining

  5. Constraints in Data Mining • Knowledge type constraint: • classification, association, etc. • Data constraint • find product pairs sold to Chicago customers in 2004 • Dimension/level constraint • in relevance to region, price, brand, customer category • Rule (or pattern) constraint • small sales (price < $10) trigger big sales (sum > $200) • Interestingness constraint • strong rules: min_support  3%, min_confidence  60%

  6. Constrained Mining vs. Constraint-Based Search • Constrained mining vs. constraint-based search/reasoning • Both are aimed at reducing search space • Finding all patterns satisfying constraints vs. finding some (or one) answer in constraint-based search in AI or optimization • Constrained mining vs. query processing in DBMS • Constrained pattern mining shares a similar philosophy as pushing selections deeply in query processing

  7. Anti-Monotonicity in Constraint Pushing TDB (min_sup=2) • Anti-monotonicity • When an itemset S violates the constraint, so does any of its superset • sum(S.Price)  v is anti-monotone • sum(S.Price)  v is not anti-monotone • Example. C: range(S.profit)  15 is anti-monotone • Itemset ab violates C • So does every superset of ab

  8. Monotonicity for Constraint Pushing TDB (min_sup=2) • Monotonicity • When an itemset S satisfies the constraint, so does any of its superset • sum(S.Price)  v is monotone • min(S.Price)  v is monotone • Example. C: range(S.profit)  15 • Itemset ab satisfies C • So does every superset of ab

  9. Succinctness • Succinctness: • Given A1, the set of items satisfying a succinctness constraint C, then any set S satisfying C is based on A1 , i.e., S contains a subset belonging to A1 • Idea: Without looking at the transaction database, whether an itemset S satisfies constraint C can be determined based on the selection of items • min(S.Price) v is succinct • sum(S.Price)  v is not succinct • Optimization: If C is succinct, C is pre-counting pushable

  10. The Apriori Algorithm — Example Database D L1 C1 Scan D C2 C2 L2 Scan D L3 C3 Scan D

  11. Naïve Algorithm: Apriori + Constraint Database D L1 C1 Scan D C2 C2 L2 Scan D L3 C3 Constraint: Sum{S.price} < 5 Scan D

  12. The Constrained Apriori Algorithm: Push an Anti-monotone Constraint Deep Database D L1 C1 Scan D C2 C2 L2 Scan D L3 C3 Constraint: Sum{S.price} < 5 Scan D

  13. The Constrained Apriori Algorithm: Push a Succinct Constraint Deep Database D L1 C1 Scan D C2 C2 L2 Scan D not immediately to be used L3 C3 Constraint: min{S.price } <= 1 Scan D

  14. Converting “Tough” Constraints TDB (min_sup=2) • Convert tough constraints into anti-monotone or monotone by properly ordering items • Examine C: avg(S.profit)  25 • Order items in value-descending order • <a, f, g, d, b, h, c, e> • If an itemset afb violates C • So does afbh, afb* • It becomes anti-monotone!

  15. Strongly Convertible Constraints • avg(X)  25 is convertible anti-monotone w.r.t. item value descending order R: <a, f, g,d, b, h, c, e> • If an itemset af violates a constraint C, so does every itemset with af as prefix, such as afd • avg(X)  25 is convertible monotone w.r.t. item value ascending order R-1: <e, c, h, b, d, g, f, a> • If an itemset d satisfies a constraint C, so does itemsets df and dfa, which having d as a prefix • Thus, avg(X)  25 is strongly convertible

  16. Can Apriori Handle Convertible Constraints? • A convertible, not monotone nor anti-monotone nor succinct constraint cannot be pushed deep into the an Apriori mining algorithm • Within the level wise framework, no direct pruning based on the constraint can be made • Itemset df violates constraint C: avg(X)>=25 • Since adf satisfies C, Apriori needs df to assemble adf, df cannot be pruned • But it can be pushed into frequent-pattern growth framework!

  17. Mining With Convertible Constraints • C: avg(X) >= 25, min_sup=2 • List items in every transaction in value descending order R: <a, f, g, d, b, h, c, e> • C is convertible anti-monotone w.r.t. R • Scan TDB once • remove infrequent items • Item h is dropped • Itemsets a and f are good, … • Projection-based mining • Imposing an appropriate order on item projection • Many tough constraints can be converted into (anti)-monotone TDB (min_sup=2)

  18. Recall • Traversal of Itemset Lattice

  19. Handling Multiple Constraints • Different constraints may require different or even conflicting item-ordering • If there exists an order R s.t. both C1 and C2 are convertible w.r.t. R, then thereis no conflict between the two convertible constraints
