Data Mining Lecture 5: PrefixSpan Algorithm

Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

What is the function of the PrefixSpan algorithm?

To find the frequent events and generate projected databases (correct)

To process the data in a breadth-first manner

To focus on suffixes rather than prefixes

To store a detailed version of the database

What do suffixes represent in the context of sequences?

The set of events at the beginning of a sequence

The occurrence of the last event in the prefix at the same time as the first event in the suffix

The first event in the sequence

The rest of the elements in the sequence after the prefix (correct)

What does the notation (_) indicate in the context of prefixes and suffixes?

It signifies the end of a sequence

It shows the time relationship between the last event in the prefix and the first event in the suffix (correct)

It indicates an error in the sequence

It represents a prefix
