Probabilistic static load-balancing of parallel
mining of frequent sequences

Abstract— Probabilistic static load-balancing of parallel mining of frequent sequences. Frequent sequence mining is well known and well studied problem in datamining. The output of the algorithm is used in many other areas like bioinformatics, chemistry, and market basket analysis. Unfortunately the frequent sequence mining is computationally quite expensive. In this paper we present a novel parallel algorithm for mining of frequent sequences based on a static load-balancing. < Final Year Projects 2016 > The static load-balancing is done by measuring > the computational time using a probabilistic algorithm. For reasonable size of instance, the algorithms achieve speedups up to _ 3=4 _ P where P is the number of processors. In the experimental evaluation, we show that our method performs significantly better then the current state-of-the-art methods. The presented approach is very universal: it can be used for static load-balancing of other pattern mining algorithms such as itemset /tree/graph mining algorithms.
