Abstract

High utility itemset mining (HUIM) is a popular and important mining task in recent years. The problem is considered computational expensive in terms of execution time and memory consumption. Many algorithms have been proposed to solve this problem efficiently. In this paper, we propose a parallel approach for mining HUIs, which utilizes the modern multi-core processors by splitting the search space in to disjointed sub-spaces, assign them to the processor cores and explore them in parallel. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperformed the original state-of-the-art HUIM algorithm EFIM in terms of execution times and have comparable memory usage.
