Web Usage Mining with Time Constrained Association Rules
نویسندگان
چکیده
Association rules are typically used to describe what items are frequently bought together. One could also use them in web usage mining to describe the pages that are often visited together. In this paper, we propose an extension to association rules by the introduction of timing constraints. Subsequently, the introduced concepts are used in an experiment to pre-process logfiles for web usage mining. We also describe how the method could be useful for market basket analysis and give an overview of related research. The paper is concluded by some suggestions for future research.

Optimizing Membership Functions using Learning Automata for Fuzzy Association Rule Mining
The Transactions in web data often consist of quantitative data, suggesting that fuzzy set theory can be used to represent such data. The time spent by users on each web page is one type of web data, was regarded as a trapezoidal membership function (TMF) and can be used to evaluate user browsing behavior. The quality of mining fuzzy association rules depends on membership functions and since t...

Web Usage Mining is the application of data mining techniques to large Web log databases in order to extract usage patterns. A cross-transaction association rule describes the association relationships among different user transactions in Web logs. In this paper, a Linear time intra-transaction frequent itemsets mining algorithm and the closure property of frequent itemsets are used to mining c...

متن کاملWebUser: mining unexpected web usage
Web usage mining has been much concentrated on the discovery of relevant user behaviours from Web access record data. In this paper, we present WebUser, an approach to discover unexpected usage in Web access log. We present a belief-driven method for extracting unexpected Web usage sequences, where the belief system consists of a temporal relation and semantics constrained sequence rules acquir...
متن کاملOn the use of constrained associations for web log mining ?
In recent years there has been an increasing interest and a growing body of work in web usage mining as an underlying approach to capture and model the behavior of users on the web for business intelligence and browser performance enhancements. Web usage mining strategies range from strategies such as clustering and collaborative filtering, to accurately modeling sequential pattern navigation. ...
