The more web data sources provide XML data, the greater information flood problem has been caused. Hence, there have been increasing demands for efficient methods of discovering desirable patterns from a large collection of XML data. In this paper, we propose a new and scalable algorithm, EFoX, to mine frequently occurring tree patterns from a set of labeled trees. The main contribution made by our algorithm is that there is no need to perform any tree join operation to generate candidate sets.
