Web mining research: a survey (original) (raw)

RESEARCH ISSUES IN WEB MINING

Web is a collection of interrelated files on one or more web servers while web mining means extracting valuable information from web databases. Web mining is one of the data mining domains where data mining techniques are used for extracting information from the web servers. The web data includes web pages, web links, objects on the web and web logs. Web mining is used to understand the customer behaviour, evaluate a particular website based on the information which is stored in web log files. Web mining is evaluated by using data mining techniques, namely classification, clustering, and association rules. It has some beneficial areas or applications such as Electronic commerce, E-learning, E-government, E-policies, E-democracy, Electronic business, security, crime investigation and digital library. Retrieving the required web page from the web efficiently and effectively becomes a challenging task because web is made up of unstructured data, which delivers the large amount of information and increase the complexity of dealing information from different web service providers. The collection of information becomes very hard to find, extract, filter or evaluate the relevant information for the users. In this paper, we have studied the basic concepts of web mining, classification, processes and issues. In addition to this, this paper also analyzed the web mining research challenges.

DETAILED STUDY OF WEB MINING APPROACHES-A SURVEY

This paper is a work on survey on the existing techniques of web mining and the issues which are related to it. The WWW i.e. World Wide Web acts as an interactive and trendy way to transfer information. The enormous and diverse information is available on the web, although the end users cannot make use of the information very effectively and easily. Data mining concentrates on non trivial extraction of implicit previously unknown and potential useful information from the very large quantity of data. Web mining is one of the applications of data mining which has become an important area of research due to vast amount of World Wide Web services in recent years. The aim of this paper is to provide the past and current techniques in Web Mining. This paper also reports the summary of various techniques of web mining approached from the following angles like Feature Extraction, Transformation and Representation and Data Mining Techniques in various application domains. In this paper, we will discuss the research work done by different users depicting the pros and cons are discussed. We will also discuss the overview of growth in research of web mining and some important research issues related to it.

Studies on Research and Development in Web Mining

World Wide Web has changing into one amongst the foremost comprehensive data resources. It most likely, if not perpetually, covers the data requirement for any user. However the net demonstrates several radical variations to traditional information containers such as databases in schema, volume, topic coherence etc. Web mining techniques could be applied to fully use web information in an effective and efficient manner, partially or completely. However, mining techniques are not the only tools to use web information efficiently but the mining techniques are the best solution. In this paper we study Web mining, Web mining categories and overview of various research issues and development efforts in web mining.

Current Literature Review -Web Mining

This study presents the role of Web mining an explosive growth of the World Wide Web; websites are providing an information and knowledge to the end users. This is the review paper which show deep and intense study of various technologies available for web mining and it is the application of data mining techniques to extract knowledge from web. Current advances in each of the three different types of web mining are reviewed in the categories of web content mining, web usage mining, and web structure mining. Index Terms—web mining, web content mining, web usage mining, web structure mining.

World towards Advance Web Mining: A Review

Science and Education Publishing

With the advent of the World Wide Web and the emergence of e-commerce applications and social networks, organizations across the Web generate a large amount of data day-by-day. The abundant unstructured or semi-structured information on the Web leads a great challenge for both the users, who are seeking for effectively valuable information and for the business people, who needs to provide personalized service to the individual consumers, buried in the billions of web pages. To overcome these problems, data mining techniques must be applied on the Web. In this article, an attempt has been made to review the various web mining techniques to discover fruitful patterns from the Web, in detail. New concepts are also included in broad-sense for Optimal Web Mining. This paper also discusses the state of the art and survey on Web Mining that is used in knowledge discovery over the Web.
