We present AIM2-F , an improved implementation of AIM-F [4] algorithm for mining frequent itemsets. Past studies have proposed various algorithms and techniques for improving the efficiency of the mining task. We have presented AIM-F at FIMI’03, a combination of some techniques into an algorithm which utilize those techniques dynamically according to the input dataset. The algorithm main featur...

A basic problem in the representation theory of a compact Lie group is to calculate the restriction of an irreducible representation of K to a closed subgroup. Most classical results on this problem concern connected groups. We’ll recall some of those, and talk about some of the modifications needed to work with disconnected groups. 1. Weight multiplicities Suppose g is a complex semisimple Lie...
