Methodology of Pattern-Fusion Strategy

• Pattern-Fusion traverses the tree in a bounded-breadth way
• Always pushes down a frontier of a bounded-size candidate pool
• Only a fixed number of patterns in the current candidate pool will be used as the starting nodes to go down in the pattern tree ― thus avoids the exponential search space
• Pattern-Fusion identifies “shortcuts” whenever possible
• Pattern growth is not performed by single-item addition but by leaps and bounded: agglomeration of multiple patterns in the pool
• These shortcuts will direct the search down the tree much more rapidly towards the colossal patterns
