Abstract

MLMS (Multiple Level Minimum Supports) model which uses multiple level minimum supports to discover infrequent itemsets and frequent itemsets simultaneously is proposed in our previous work. The reason to discover infrequent itemsets is that there are many valued negative association rules in them. However, some of the itemsets discovered by the MLMS model are not interesting and ought to be pruned. In one of Xindong Wu's papers [1], a pruning strategy (we call it Wu's pruning strategy here) is used to prune uninteresting itemsets. But the pruning strategy is only applied to single minimum support. In this paper, we modify the Wu's pruning strategy to adapt to the MLMS model to prune uninteresting itemsets and we call the MLMS model with the modified Wu's pruning strategy IMLMS (Interesting MLMS) model. Based on the IMLMS model, we design an algorithm to discover simultaneously both interesting frequent itemsets and interesting infrequent itemsets. The experimental results show the validity of the model.
