Abstract
Frequent graph mining allows us to find useful frequent sub-graph patterns from large and complicated graph databases. In a lot of real world applications, graph patterns with relatively low supports can be used as meaningful information. However, previous methods based on a single minimum support threshold have trouble finding them. That is, they cause “rare item problem”, which means that useful sub-graphs with low supports cannot be extracted when a minimum support threshold is high, while an enormous number of patterns have to be mined to obtain these useful ones when the value is low. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel algorithm, FGM-MMS (Frequent Graph Mining based on Multiple Minimum Support constraints). After that, we demonstrate that the suggested algorithm outperforms a state-of-the-art graph mining algorithm through comprehensive performance experiments.
