Abstract

A user specifies a hierarchical action tree via user input device and user interface element. The action tree is arranged in a tree of file directories, with each node of the tree corresponding to a file directory (or path). The user then specifies classes of patterns assigned to each node (directory) of the tree using data mining queries or pattern templates. Once the system is so initialized, the pattern templates and data mining queries are executed, retrieving the patterns specified by the user from a database. The retrieved patterns assigned to a node of the tree are then stored in a file in the corresponding file directory. The user may now act on the discovered patterns and use the organized file structure. A pattern discovery optimization element periodically checks if the database has changed substantially, and if it has re-executes the data mining queries and pattern templates which update the contents of the file structure accordingly.
