GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR FINDING FREQUENT PATTERNS

Abstract

Frequent pattern mining is a popular problem in data mining, which consists of finding frequent patterns in transaction databases. Many popular methods have been proposed for this problem by applying Association Rule Mining algorithms likeApriori algorithm, Pincer search algorithm, Border algorithm, Partition algorithm etc. In this paper we are proposing Genetic algorithm for mining frequent patterns. This method improves the computational complexity to find frequent patters compared to the association rule mining methods.The main aim of this paper is to find all the frequent patterns from given data sets using genetic algorithm.
