“…First, inter-sequence mining algorithms usually generate a large number of frequent patterns. To reduce the number of frequent patterns, we could consider other pattern structures, such as the closed patterns discussed in Lee, Wang, Weng, Chen, and Wu (2008), Yan, Han, and Afshar (2003), Wang and Han (2004), Zaki and Hsiao (2005)). We could also extend our proposed algorithm from two-dimensional transaction databases to higher dimension databases.…”
