In this paper, we study frequent-subsequence extraction from a single very-long data-sequence. First we propose a novel frequency measure, called the total frequency, for counting multiple occurrences of a sequential pattern in a single data sequence. The total frequency is antimonotonic, and makes it possible to count up pattern occurrences without duplication. Moreover the total frequency has a good property for implementation based on the dynamic programming strategy. Second we give a simple on-line algorithm for a specialized subsequence extraction problem, i.e., a problem with the infinite window-length. This specialized problem is considered to be a relaxation of the general-case problem, thus this fast on-line algorithm is important from the view of practical applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
