Abstract

Mining frequent subtree patterns in a tree database (or, forest) is useful in domains such as bioinformatics and mining semi-structured data. We consider the problem of mining embedded subtrees in a database of rooted, labeled, and ordered trees. We compare two existing serial mining algorithms, PrefixTreeSpan and TreeMiner, and adapt them for parallel execution using PrefixFPM, our general-purpose framework for frequent pattern mining that is designed to effectively utilize the CPU cores in a multicore machine. Our experiments show that TreeMiner is faster than its successor PrefixTreeSpan when a limited number of CPU cores are used, as the total mining workloads is smaller; however, PrefixTreeSpan has a much higher speedup ratio and can beat TreeMiner when given enough CPU cores.
