Abstract

In the past, a SKYMINE approach was proposed to both consider the aspects of utility and frequency of the itemsets to mine the skyline frequency-utility skyline patterns (SFUPs). The SKYMINE algorithm requires, however, the amounts of computation to mine the SFUPs based on the utility-pattern (UP)-tree structure performing in a level-wise manner. In this paper, we propose more effective algorithms to mine the SFUPs based on the utility-list structure. Substantial experiments are carried to show that the proposed algorithms outperform the state-of-the-art SKYMINE to mine the SFUPs in terms of runtime and memory usage.
