gradual-mining 0.3.2

Unified Python package for gradual pattern mining with multiple algorithms

GPMF — Gradual Pattern Mining Framework

A Python library for gradual pattern mining with a unified scikit-learn-style API.

Installation

pip install gradual-mining

Pre-built wheels are available for Linux, macOS and Windows (x86_64 and arm64). The ParaMiner algorithm includes an optional Rust extension for multi-core acceleration — it is compiled into the wheel automatically and falls back to a pure-Python implementation if unavailable.

Quick start

from gpmf.algorithms.graank import GRAANK

model = GRAANK(min_support=0.5)
patterns = model.mine("data.csv")

for p in patterns:
    print(p.to_string(), ":", p.support)

All algorithms share the same interface:

model.fit(data)              # data can be a CSV path, DataFrame, or GradualDataset
patterns = model.get_patterns()
result   = model.get_result()  # includes execution time, metadata

ParaMiner with Rust acceleration

from gpmf.algorithms.closed.paraminer_algorithm import ParaMiner

model = ParaMiner(min_support=0.5, use_rust=True, num_threads=4)
patterns = model.mine("data.csv")
