This book introduces pattern mining by presenting various pattern mining techniques and giving hands-on experience with each technique. Pattern mining is a popular data mining technique with many real-world applications, and involves discovering all user interest-based patterns that may exist in a database. Several models and numerous algorithms were described in the literature to find these patterns in binary databases, quantitative databases, uncertain databases, and streams. Since the lack of a Python toolkit containing these algorithms has limited the wide adaptability of pattern-mining techniques, the author developed Pattern Mining (PAMI) Python library, which currently contains 80+ algorithms to discover useful patterns in transactional databases, temporal databases, quantitative databases, and graphs.
The book consists of three main parts:
· · · Applications: The book concludes with several applications, where the predicted knowledge using TensorFlow and PyTorch was transformed into a database to discover future trends or patterns.
