Sequential Pattern Mining from Web Log Data

Sequential Pattern Mining involves applying data mining methods to large web data repositories to extract usage patterns. The growing popularity of the World Wide Web, many websites typically experience thousands of visitors every day. Analysis of who browsed what, can give important insight into the buying pattern of existing customers. Correct and timely decisions made based on this knowledge have helped organizations in reaching new heights in the market. In this paper, the sequence tree algorithm is implemented for pattern mining and this is experimented on web log data. The web log data which is considered as secondary data of the web has been considered for the discovery of frequent sequential patterns. The results have shown that the sequence tree algorithm performs better than the well-known Generalized Sequential Pattern (GSP) algorithm. The experiment shows that the running time of sequence tree algorithm is faster than the standard GSP algorithm and also Sequence Tree algorithm discovers more number of patterns than the standard GSP algorithm.

A Novel Approach of Mining Frequent Sequential Pattern from Customized Web Log Preprocessing

2012

Millions of visitors interact daily with web sites around the world. The several kinds of data have to be organized in a manner that they can be accessed by several users effectively and efficiently. Web mining is the extraction of exciting and constructive facts and inherent information from artifacts or actions related to the WWW. Web usage mining is a kind of data mining method that can be useful in recommending the web usage patterns with the help of users’ session and behavior. Web usage mining includes three process, namely, preprocessing, pattern discovery and pattern analysis. After the completion of these three phases the user can find the required usage patterns and use this information for the specific needs. Web usage mining requires data abstraction for pattern discovery. This dataion for pattern discovery. This data abstraction is achieved through dataion is achieved through data preprocessing. Experiments have proved that advanced data preprocessing technique can enha...

Sequential Pattern Discovery from Web Log Data

International Journal of Computer Applications, 2012

Pattern mining from the web log data leads to discovery of usage patterns of the user who navigate the web. Patterns which appear frequently in the web log data are item-sets and sequences. In this paper, a novel algorithm Intelligent Generalized Sequential pattern (IGSP) is designed which shows better results than the Generalized Sequential Pattern (GSP) algorithm. Experiment is conducted with respect to running time and number of patterns discovered from the log data and results has shown that IGSP outperforms the wellknown algorithms (GSP) algorithm.

A New Sequential Pattern Discovery Algorithm for Web Usage Mining

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm that the main objective of discovery rules used in prediction model. Focusing on latest-substring rules that are the order and adjacency information that model experiences a monotonically increasing precision curves. Meanwhile, the reduced rule could be done at the same time as searching. The rule discovered would be recorded in Full Then rule is reduced by confidence factor and support factor and recorded in Trim table. Last procedure is pruning rules that will discard redundant and inconsistent rules then the rest will have high accuracy.

A Review on Pattern Discovery Techniques of Web Usage Mining

In the recent years with the development of Internet technology the growth of World Wide Web exceeded all expectations. A lot of information is available in different formats and retrieving interesting content has become a very difficult task. One possible approach to solve this problem is Web Usage Mining (WUM), the important application of Web Mining. Extracting the hidden knowledge in the log files of a web server, recognizing various interests of web users, discovering customer behavior while at the site are normally referred as the applications of web usage mining. In this paper we provide an updated focused survey on techniques of web usage mining.

Mining Web Access Patterns using Root-set of Suffix Trees

International journal of computer applications, 2014

With the rapidly growing uses of World Wide Web for various important and sensitive purposes it becomes a sensible necessity to find out the interesting web access patterns from the web access sequences tracked by users frequently. Web access sequential patterns can be used to achieve business intelligence for e-commerce sites and also can be used to analyze system performance. This paper proposes a more efficient web mining algorithm which mines all the sequential patterns from the web access sequences and totally eliminates the concept of linking between nodes. The algorithm uses the aggregate tree structure for mining and then mines from the tree using RST (Root-set of Suffix Trees) for same prefix items. The algorithm finds the frequent sequential patterns by recursively traversing the tree from root-nodes to child-nodes for the length-1 frequent items. The proposed approach doesn't need to generate any projected tree; it needs only the root-set for each prefix that got in previous step. Experimental results show huge performance gain over the FOF and WAPtree mining techniques by considerably reducing the mining time.

Association and Sequence Mining in Web Usage

Economics and Applied Informatics, 2011

Web servers worldwide generate a vast amount of information on web users' browsing activities. Several researchers have studied these so-called clickstream or web access log data to better understand and characterize web users. Clickstream data can be enriched with information about the content of visited pages and the origin (e.g., geographic, organizational) of the requests. The goal of this project is to analyse user behaviour by mining enriched web access log data. With the continued growth and proliferation of ecommerce, Web services, and Web-based information systems, the volumes of click stream and user data collected by Web-based organizations in their daily operations has reached astronomical proportions. This information can be exploited in various ways, such as enhancing the effectiveness of websites or developing directed web marketing campaigns. The discovered patterns are usually represented as collections of pages, objects, or resources that are frequently accessed by groups of users with common needs or interests. The focus of this paper is to provide an overview how to use frequent pattern techniques for discovering different types of patterns in a Web log database. In this paper we will focus on finding association as a data mining technique to extract potentially useful knowledge from web usage data. I implemented in Java, using NetBeans IDE, a program for identification of pages' association from sessions. For exemplification, we used the log files from a commercial web site.

PATTERN DETECTION WITH IMPROVED PREPROCESSING IN WEB LOG

The past fifteen years are characterized by an exponential growth of the Web both in the number of Web sites available and in the number of their users. This growth generated huge quantities of data related to the user's interaction with the Web sites, recorded in Web log files. Moreover, the Web sites owners expressed the need to better understand their visitors in order to better serve them. The Web Use Mining (WUM) is a rather recent research field and it corresponds to the process of knowledge discovery from databases (KDD) applied to the Web usage data. It comprises three main stages: the preprocessing of raw data, the discovery of schemas and the analysis (or interpretation) of results. A WUM process extracts behavioral patterns from the Web usage data and, if available, from the Web site information (structure and content) and on the Web site users (user profiles). In this thesis, we bring two significant contributions for a Web Use Mining process. We propose a customized application specific methodology for preprocessing the Web logs and a modified frequent pattern tree for the discovery of patterns efficiently.
