Scalable Maximal Frequent Episode Mining with Desbordante

arXiv:2607.03188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Episode mining aims to extract subsequences of events that possess certain distinctive properties and constitute facts valuable to the user. Maximal frequent episode mining concentrates on discovery of frequently-appearing subsequences, which are not included into any other larger frequent subsequence. The state-of-the-art for this problem is the MaxFEM algorithm which enumerates possible subsequences, while applying various pruning techniques to accelerate the search. However, this is a computationally-intensive problem: reducing the minimum n

Why this matters
Why now
