Abstract

In the paper, we consider the problem of discovering sequential patterns from dataset of event instances and event types. We offer a breadth-first strategy algorithm (spatio-temporal breadth-first miner, STBFM) to search for significant sequential patterns denoting relations between event types in the dataset. We introduce Sequential Pattern Tree (SPTree), a novel structure significantly reducing the time of patterns mining process. Our algorithm is compared with STMiner - the algorithm for discovering sequential patterns from event data. A modification of STBFM allowing to discover Top-N most significant sequential patterns in a given dataset is provided. Experimental studies have been performed on the crime incidents dataset for Boston city.
