Web Usage Minning using Patterns with Different Algorithm

Author(s):  

Web usage mining is a part of data mining. Data usage mining is divided into three parts 1) Data content mining 2) Data structured mining 3) Data usage mining. In this paper I am discussing about log files which are used in data usage mining. Log files are used to store user’s activity in web server using websites. So that websites can be improved by gathering user data. Web usage mining having three sub parts which is reprocessing, data discovery and data analysis. Further, in this paper, details about web log files are discussed. Three algorithms are discussed which are used for patterns of log files. There comparison is showed in this paper with the help of graphs.

The web is a rich data mining source which is dynamic and fast growing, providing great opportunities which are often not exploited. Web data represent a real challenge to traditional data mining techniques due to its huge amount and the unstructured nature. Web logs contain information about the interactions between visitors and the website. Analyzing these logs provides insights into visitors' behavior, usage patterns, and trends. Web usage mining, also known as web log mining, is the process of applying data mining techniques to discover useful information hidden in web server's logs. Web logs are primarily used by Web administrators to know how much traffic they get and to detect broken links and other types of errors. Web usage mining extracts useful information that can be beneficial to a number of application areas such as: web personalization, website restructuring, system performance improvement, and business intelligence. The Web usage mining process involves three main phases: pre-processing, pattern discovery, and pattern analysis. Various preprocessing techniques have been proposed to extract information from log files and group primitive data items into meaningful, lighter level abstractions that are suitable for mining, usually in forms of visitors' sessions. Major data mining techniques in web usage mining pattern discovery are: clustering, association analysis, classification, and sequential patterns discovery. This chapter discusses the process of web usage mining, its procedure, methods, and patterns discovery techniques. The chapter also presents a practical example using real web log data.

This chapter focuses on predicting web user behaviors. When web users enter a website, every move they make on that website is stored as web log files. Unlike the focus group or questionnaire, the log files reflect real user behavior. It can easily be said that having actual user behavior is a gold value for the organizations. In this chapter, the ways of extracting user patterns (user behavior) from the log files are sought. In this context, the web usage mining process is explained. Some web usage mining techniques are mentioned.

World Wide Web data mining includes content mining, hyperlink structure mining, and usage mining. All three approaches attempt to extract knowledge from the Web, produce some useful results from the knowledge extracted, and apply the results to certain real-world problems. The first two apply the data mining techniques to Web page contents and hyperlink structures, respectively. The third approach, Web usage mining (the theme of this article), is the application of data mining techniques to the usage logs of large Web data repositories in order to produce results that can be applied to many practical subjects, such as improving Web sites/pages, making additional topic or product recommendations, user/customer behavior studies, and so forth. This article provides a survey and analysis of current Web usage mining technologies and systems. A Web usage mining system must be able to perform five major functions: (i) data gathering, (ii) data preparation, (iii) navigation pattern discovery, (iv) pattern analysis and visualization, and (v) pattern applications. Many Web usage mining technologies have been proposed, and each technology employs a different approach. This article first describes a generalized Web usage mining system, which includes five individual functions. Each system function is then explained and analyzed in detail. Related surveys of Web usage mining techniques also can be found in Hu, et al. (2003) and Kosala and Blockeel (2000).

Automated User Behavior Mapping is an application of web usage mining using which we can see the real-time behavior of end user visiting a particular web page automatically. The technologies used in this are socket programming for real-time communication between the server and the user accessing the website for collection of web log data and selenium web driver for automating the user behavior using web log files.

Web Data Mining is the application of data mining techniques to extract useful knowledge from web data like contents of web, hyperlinks of documents and web usage logs. There is also a strong requirement of techniques to help in business decision in e-commerce. Web Data Mining can be broadly divided into three categories: Web content mining, Web structure mining and Web usage mining. Web content data are content availed to users to satisfy their required information. Web structure data represents linkage and relationship of web pages to others. Web usage data involves log data collected by web server and application server which is the main source of data. The growth of WWW and technologies has made business functions to be executed fast and easier. As large amount of transactions are performed through e-commerce sites and the huge amount of data is stored, valuable knowledge can be obtained by applying the Web Mining techniques.

Web usage mining is the use of data mining techniques to analyze user behavior in order to better serve the needs of the user. This process of personalization uses a set of techniques and methods for discovering the linking structure of information on the web. The goal of web personalization is to improve the user experience by mining the meaningful information and presented the retrieved information in a way the user intends. The arrival of big data instigated novel issues to the personalization community. This chapter provides an overview of personalization, big data, and identifies challenges related to web personalization with respect to big data. It also presents some approaches and models to fill the gap between big data and web personalization. Further, this research brings additional opportunities to web personalization from the perspective of big data.

Web usage mining techniques and applications across industries is still exploratory and, despite an increase in academic research, there are challenge of analyze web which quantitatively capture web users' common interests and characterize their underlying tasks. This chapter addresses the problem of how to support web usage mining techniques and applications across industries by combining language of web pages and algorithms that used in web data mining. Existing research in web usage mining techniques tend to focus on finding out how each techniques can apply in different industries fields. However, there is little evidence that researchers have approached the issue of web usage mining across industries. Consequently, the aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of how the web usage mining techniques and applications across industries can be supported.

As websites increase in complexity, locating needed information becomes a difficult task. Such difficulty is often related to the websites’ design but also ineffective and inefficient navigation processes. Research in web mining addresses this problem by applying techniques from data mining and machine learning to web data and documents. In this study, the authors examine web usage mining, applying data mining techniques to web server logs. Web usage mining has gained much attention as a potential approach to fulfill the requirement of web personalization. In this paper, the authors propose K-means biclustering, rough biclustering and fuzzy biclustering approaches to disclose the duality between users and pages by grouping them in both dimensions simultaneously. The simultaneous clustering of users and pages discovers biclusters that correspond to groups of users that exhibit highly correlated ratings on groups of pages. The results indicate that the fuzzy C-means biclustering algorithm best and is able to detect partial matching of preferences.
