摘要	Sequential Pattern Mining discovers ordered patterns that recur across multiple event sequences in a database. Introduced by Agrawal and Srikant in 1995, it extends association-rule mining to time-ordered transactions. A pattern is frequent when it appears as an ordered subsequence in at least a user-specified fraction of all sequences. The method is widely applied wherever the order of events carries meaning, such as customer purchase histories, clickstream logs, electronic health records, and DNA sequence analysis.	Association Rule Mining is an unsupervised data-mining technique that discovers co-occurrence patterns among items in transactional datasets. Formally introduced by Agrawal, Imieliński, and Swami in 1993, and refined with the landmark Apriori algorithm by Agrawal and Srikant in 1994, it identifies rules of the form X ⇒ Y — meaning that transactions containing itemset X tend to also contain itemset Y — quantified by support, confidence, and lift.	Process Mining is a data-driven discipline that extracts knowledge about real-world processes from event logs recorded by information systems. Introduced systematically by Wil van der Aalst, with foundational workflow mining formalized in 2004 and consolidated in the 2016 textbook, the technique bridges data science and process management. It enables organizations to discover how processes actually execute, check whether execution conforms to prescribed models, and diagnose performance bottlenecks — all directly from digital traces.
