Abstract
We present a unifying view of temporal concepts and data models in order to categorize existing approaches for unsupervised pattern mining from symbolic temporal data. In particular we distinguish time point-based methods and interval-based methods as well as univariate and multivariate methods. The mining paradigms and the robustness of many proposed approaches are compared to aid the selection of the appropriate method for a given problem. For time points, sequential pattern mining algorithms can be used to express equality and order of time points with gaps in multivariate data. For univariate data and limited gaps suffix tree methods are more efficient. Recently, efficient algorithms have been proposed to mine the more general concept of partial order from time points. For time interval data with precise start and end points the relations of Allen can be used to formulate patterns. The recently proposed Time Series Knowledge Representation is more robust on noisy data and offers an alternative semantic that avoids ambiguity and is more expressive. For both pattern languages efficient mining algorithms have been proposed.

Unsupervised Rare Pattern Mining: A Survey
Special Issue on SIGKDD 2014, Special Issue on BIGCHAT and Regular PapersAssociation rule mining was first introduced to examine patterns among frequent items. The original motivation for seeking these rules arose from need to examine customer purchasing behaviour in supermarket transaction data. It seeks to identify ...
Mining temporal interval relational rules from temporal data
Temporal data mining is still one of important research topic since there are application areas that need knowledge from temporal data such as sequential patterns, similar time sequences, cyclic and temporal association rules, and so on. Although there ...
Mining temporal co-orientation pattern from spatio-temporal databases
PAKDD'07: Proceedings of the 11th Pacific-Asia conference on Advances in knowledge discovery and data miningA spatial co-orientation pattern refers to objects that frequently occur with the same spatial orientation, e.g. left, right, below, etc., among images. In this paper, we introduce temporal co-orientation pattern mining which is the problem of temporal ...
