    A novel data structure for efficient representation of large data sets in data mining
    (2006) Pai, R.M.; Ananthanarayana, V.S.
    An important goal in data mining is to generate an abstraction of the data. Such an abstraction helps in reducing the time and space requirements of the overall decision making process. It is also important that the abstraction be generated from the data in small number of scans. In this paper, we propose a novel data structure called Prefix-Postfix structure(PP-structure), which is an abstraction of the data that can be built by scanning the database only once. We prove that this structure is compact, complete and incremental and therefore is suitable to represent dynamic databases. Further, we propose a clustering algorithm using this structure. The proposed algorithm is tested on different real world datasets and is shown that the algorithm is both space efficient and time efficient for large datasets without sacrificing for the accuracy. We compare our algorithm with other algorithms and show the effectiveness of our algorithm. © 2006 IEEE.

    Prefix-Suffix trees: A novel scheme for compact representation of large datasets
    (Springer Verlag, 2007) Pai, R.M.; Ananthanarayana, V.S.
    An important goal in data mining is to generate an abstraction of the data. Such an abstraction helps in reducing the time and space requirements of the overall decision making process. It is also important that the abstraction be generated from the data in small number of scans. In this paper we propose a novel scheme called Prefix-Suffix trees for compact storage of patterns in data mining, which forms an abstraction of the patterns, and which is generated from the data in a single scan. This abstraction takes less amount of space and hence forms a compact storage of patterns. Further, we propose a clustering algorithm based on this storage and prove experimentally that this type of storage reduces the space and time. This has been established by considering large data sets of handwritten numerals namely the OCR data, the MNIST data and the USPS data. The proposed algorithm is compared with other similar algorithms and the efficacy of our scheme is thus established. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
