Enumerating minimal new combinations of elements in a sequence of sets is interesting, e.g., for novelty detection in a stream of texts. The sets are the bags of words occuring in the texts. We focus on new pairs of elements as they are abundant. By simple data structures we can enumerate them in quadratic time, in the size of the sets, but large intersections with earlier sets rule out all pairs therein in linear time. The challenge is to use this observation efficiently. We give a greedy heuristic based on the twin graph, a succinct description of the pairs covered by a set family, and on finding good candidate sets by random sampling. The heuristic is motivated and supported by several related complexity results: sample size estimates, hardness of maximal coverage of pairs, and approximation guarantees when a few sets cover almost all pairs.
