A Survey of Key Technologies for High Utility Patterns Mining

Recently, high utility pattern mining (HUPM) is one of the most important research issues in data mining. Because it can consider the non-binary frequency values of items in a transaction and the different profit values of each item. It has been widely used. First of all, this paper briefly describes the related concepts, formulas and examples of application for HUPM. Secondly, the key technologies for HUMP are introduced in detail, and they are divided into main methods including Apriori-based, tree-based, projection-based, list-based, data format-based, and index-based and so on. The paper further compares data sets, uses, advantages and disadvantages of algorithms, laid the foundation for the next research direction. Then, this article outlines the high utility derivative patterns, including high average utility pattern, high utility sequential pattern, and high utility compact pattern and so on. Because static data is difficult to meet the actual needs, this paper summarizes the efficient use of HUPMs' methods over data streams, mainly based on incremental methods, based on the sliding window model methods, based on the time decay model methods and based on the landmark model methods and so on.
