Today internet has made the life of human dependent on it. Almost everything and anything can be searched on net. Web pages usually contain huge amount of information that may not interest the user, as it may not be the part of the main content of the web page. Web Usage Mining (WUM) is one of the main applications of data mining, artificial intelligence and so on to the web data and forecast t...

Sequential pattern mining is the process of applying data mining techniques to a sequential database, to extract frequent subsequences to discover correlation that exists among the ordered list of events. Web Usage mining (WUM) discovers and extracts interesting knowledge/patterns from Web logs is one of the applications of Sequential Pattern Mining. In this paper, we present a survey of the se...

The exponential growth in the number and the complexity of information resources and services on the Web has made log data an indispensable resource to characterize the users for Web-based environment. It creates information of related web data in the form of hierarchy structure through approximation. This hierarchy structure can be used as the input for a variety of data mining tasks such as c...

The World Wide Web is huge, unstructured, universal and heterogeneous. In recent years the growth of the World Wide Web exceeded all expectations. Today there are several billions of HTML documents, pictures and other multimedia files available via internet and the number is still rising. But considering the impressive variety of the web, retrieving interesting content has become a very difficu...

This paper introduces a new method for the session construction problem, which is the first main step of the web usage mining process. Through experiments, it is shown that when our new technique is used, it outperforms previous approaches in web usage mining applications such as next-page prediction.

Web Usage Mining is the application of data mining techniques in the field of social networks to discover exciting usage patterns from SNS data and to serve the needs of SNS applications in a better manner. The major use of web usage mining techniques...

Personalization based on Web usage mining can enhance the effectiveness and scalability of collaborative filtering. However, without semantic knowledge about the underlying domain, such systems cannot recommend different types of complex objects based in their underlying properties and attributes. This paper provides an overview of approaches for incorporating semantic knowledge into Web usage ...
