Abstract
High utility itemset mining is the problem of finding sets of items whose utilities are higher than or equal to a specific threshold. We propose a novel technique called mHUIMiner, which utilises a tree structure to guide the itemset expansion process to avoid considering itemsets that are nonexistent in the database. Unlike current techniques, it does not have a complex pruning strategy that requires expensive computation overhead. Extensive experiments have been done to compare mHUIMiner to other state-of-the-art algorithms. The experimental results show that our technique outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of running time for sparse datasets.
