Mining web data using clustering technique for web personalization

摘要

Clustering of data in a large dimension space is of great interest in many data mining applications. In this paper, we propose a method for clustering of web usage data in a high-dimensional space based on a concept hierarchy model. In this method, the relationship present in the web usage data are mapped into a fuzzy proximity relation of user transactions. We also described an approach to present the preference set of URLs to a new user transaction based on the match score with the clusters. The study demonstrates that our approach is general and effective for mining the web data for web personalization.
