Exploring the World Wide Web with Self-Organizing Map

چکیده
Information overload is a critical problem in World Wide Web. Kohonen's self-organizing map (SOM) has been proven to be a promising browsing tool for the Web. The SOM algorithm automatically categorizes a large Internet information space into manageable sub-spaces. However, as the amount of information increases, it is expected to increase the size of the map accordingly in order to accommodate the important concepts in the information space. It results in increasing of visual load of the SOM. Large pool of information is packed closely together on a limited size of displaying window, where local details are difficult to be clearly seen. In this paper, we investigate the fisheye views and fractal views to support the visualization of SOM in order to explore the World Wide Web.

Self-organizing map based web pages clustering using web logs
A Web-based business always wants to have the ability to track users’ browsing behavior history. This ability can be achieved by using Web log mining technologies. In this paper, we introduce a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) based approach to mining Web log data. The SOM network maps the web pages into a two-dimensional map based on the users’ browsing history. Web pages with the similar browsing pa...

One major approach for information finding in the WWW is to navigate through some Web directories and browse them until the goal pages were found. However, such directories are generally constructed manually and may have disadvantages of narrow coverage and inconsistency. Besides, most of existing directories provide only monolingual hierarchies that organized Web pages in terms that a user may...
متن کاملThe Map of Mozart
We present a study on using a Mnemonic Self-Organizing Map for clustering a very homogeneous collection of music. In particular, we create a map containing the complete works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. We study and analyze the clustering capabilities of the SOM on this very focused collection. We furthermore present a web-based application for exploring the map and accessing the music it repre...
