    This document describes fast algorithms for mining association rules from transactional databases. It introduces the Apriori algorithm, which uses candidate generation and pruning to efficiently find frequent itemsets in transaction data. The Apriori algorithm scales to large datasets by counting support for candidate itemsets in parallel database scans. The document also describes optimizations like AprioriTid and AprioriHybrid that improve performance by storing transaction data differently or combining aspects of Apriori and AprioriTid.

    Fast Algorithms for Mining Association Rules

    Introduction

    Bar Code technology has brought in a lot of scope for retail organizations to
    store large amounts of data which is referred to as basket data. We use
    association mining rules over basket data to find most frequently occurring
    rules over the dataset. Eg People who buy tires also get car services done.

    Finding such rules helps a lot for attached mail and cross market services. The
    databases involved are very large and hence we need fast algorithms for this
    task.
    Problem Statement
    Given a database of transactions , find rules that will predict the occurrence of an item based on the
    occurrences of other items in the transaction.

    TID Items
    {Diaper} -> {Beer}
    1 Bread,Milk

    2 Bread,Diaper,Beer,Eggs {Milk,Bread} -> {Eggs,Coke}

    3 Milk,Diaper,Beer,Coke {Beer,Bread} -> {Milk}

    4 Bread,Milk,Diaper,Beer

    5 Bread,Milk,Diaper,Coke
    Motivation

    Walmart has lots of data about point of sales

    Data on each user

    Basket of items that has been bought during each visit.

    Similarly, phone companies have information available about phone


    calls made at a particular time to a location

    How can the above information be leveraged for better logistics,


    better placement of items on shelves etc.
    L1 = {large 1-itemsets};

    for( k=2; Lk-1; k++) do begin

    Ck = apriori-gen(Lk-1); // New candidates

    Algorithm for forall transactions t D do // Counting support

    Apriori Ct = subset(Ck, t); // Candidates in t

    forall candidates c Ct do

    c.count++;

    end

    Lk = {c Ck | c.count minsup}

    End

    Answer = k Lk;
    Flowchart for Apriori Algorithm

    Get Frequent Generate Candidate Get Frequent Item


    Start
    Items Item set sets

    No

    Yes Generate
    End Generate Strong
    set = NULL
    Rules
    Apriori Candidate Generation

    Takes in Lk-1 and returns Ck. Candidate Generation (Join)

    Two steps:

    Join large itemsets Lk-1 with Lk-1.

    Prune out all itemsets in joined result


    which contain a (k-1)subset not found in
    Lk-1.
    Candidate Generation (Example)

    L3 C4 C4

    {Beer, Butter, Coke} Join {Beer, Butter, Coke, Cheese} Prune {Beer, Butter, Coke, Cheese}

    {Beer, Butter, Cheese} {Beer, Coke, Cheese, Maggi}

    {Beer, Coke, Cheese}

    {Beer, Coke, Maggi}

    {Butter, Coke, Cheese}


    Hash-tree Example
    Depth
    Beer Butter 1
    L3

    {Beer, Butter, Coke}

    {Beer, Butter, Cheese} Butter Coke {Butter, Coke,


    2
    Cheese}
    {Beer, Coke, Cheese}

    {Beer, Coke, Maggi} {Beer, Butter, Coke} {Beer, Coke, Cheese}


    {Beer, Butter, Cheese} {Beer, Coke, Maggi} 3
    {Butter, Coke, Cheese}
    AprioriTid

    Does not use the transactions in the database for counting itemset
    support.

    Instead stores transactions as sets of possible large itemsets, Ck.

    Each member of Ck is of the form:

    < TID, {Xk}> , Xk is a possible large itemset


    AprioriTid Example

    TID Items TID Set of Itemsets Itemset Suport

    100 134 100 {{1} ,{3} ,{4}} {1} 2

    200 235 200 {{2} ,{3} ,{5}} {2} 3

    300 1235 300 {{1} ,{2} ,{3} ,{5}} {3} 3

    400 25 400 {{2} ,{5}} {5} 3


    AprioriTid Example
    Itemsets TID Set of Itemsets
    Itemset Suport
    {12} 100 {{1 3}}
    {1 3} 2
    {13} 200 {{2 3} ,{2 5} ,{3 5}}
    {2 3} 2
    {15} 300 {{1 2} ,{1 3} ,{1 5} {2
    {2 5} 3
    3} ,{2 5} ,{3 5}}
    {23}
    {3 5} 2
    400 {{2 5}}
    {25}

    {35}
    TID Set-of-Items ItemSet Support
    Itemset 200 {{2 3 5}} {2 3 5} 2
    {2 3 5} 300 {{2 3 5}}
    AprioriHybrid

    It is not necessary to use the same algorithm for all


    the passes.

    Combine the two algorithms!

    Start with Apriori

    When Ck can fit in main memory switch to


    AprioriTID
    Apriori Advantages/Disadv
    Advantages: Disadvantages:
    This algorithm has less It requires many scans of
    memory consumption. database.
    Easy implementation. It allows only a single
    It uses Apriori property for minimum support threshold.
    pruning therefore, itemsets It is favourable only for
    left for further support small database.
    checking remain less. It explains only the presence
    or absence of an item in the
    database.
    Conclusion

    The performance gap increased with the problem size


    and ranged from a factor of three for small problems
    to more than an order of magnitude for large
    problems

    The algorithms presented in the paper have been


    implemented on several data repositories and were
    found to give consistent results.
