Abstract

We propose a new method to classify trees, using closed and maximal frequent trees. Closed trees maintain the same information as frequent trees using less space and maximal trees maintain approximate information. We use them to reduce the number of classification features. We present a new framework for data stream tree classification. For the first component of our classification framework, using a methodology based in Galois Lattice Theory, we present three closed tree mining algorithms: an incremental one IncTreeMiner, a sliding-window based one, WinTreeMiner, and finally one that mines closed trees adaptively from data streams, AdaTreeMiner. To the best of our knowledge this is the first work on tree classification in streaming data varying with time. We give a first experimental evaluation of the proposed classification method.
