“…Many investigations of high utility itemset mining (HUIM) have been published, such as the incremental mining algorithm based on the concept of the fast-update approach for efficiently extracting high utility itemsets (HUIs) (Lin, Lan, Hong, 2012), mining HUIs from vertically distributed databases (Vo, Nguyen, & Le, 2009), the HUI-Miner algorithm with a utilitylist structure to store both utility and heuristic information for pruning the search space (Liu & Qu, 2012), the Efficient high-utility Itemset Mining (EFIM) algorithm using two upper bounds called sub-tree utility and local utility for search-space pruning (Zida, Fournier-Viger, Lin, Wu, & Tseng, 2016), mining top-k HUIs (Tseng, Wu, Fournier-Viger, & Yu, 2016), the UP-Growth algorithm using the UP-Tree data structure for candidate pruning (Tseng, Wu, Shie, & Yu, 2010), the UP-Growth+ algorithm (Tseng, Wu, Shie, & Yu, 2013), mining HUIs with multiple minimum utility thresholds (Gan, Lin, FournierViger, & Chao, 2016) and the Two-Phase algorithm for mining HUIs with effective performance (Liu, Liao, & Choudhary, 2005).…”
