Mining sequential patterns is an important problem in the field of data mining
and many algorithms and optimization techniques have been published to deal with
that problem. An GSP algorithm, which is one of them, can be used for mining
sequential patterns with some additional constraints, like gaps between items.
Taxonomies can exist upon the items in sequences. It can be applied to mine
sequential patterns with items on several hierarchical levels of the taxonomy. If
a more general item appears in a pattern, the pattern has higher or at least the
same support as the one containing the corresponding specific item. This allows
us to mine more patterns with the same minimal support parameter and to reveal
new potentially useful patterns. This paper presents a method for mining
multi-level sequential patterns. The method is based on the GSP algorithm and
generalization of more specific sequences based on the information theory.
