Method Bhupendra S Chordia, Krishnakant P. Adhiya · 2011
In web usage mining grouping of web access sequences can be used to determine the behavior or intent of a set of users. Grouping web sessions is how to measure the similarity between web sessions. There are many shortcomings in traditional measurement methods. The task of grouping web sessions based on similarity and consists of maximizing the intra-group similarity while minimizing the inter-group similarity is done using sequence alignment method. This paper introduces a new method to group web sessions, which considers the global and local alignment techniques of similarity measurement. Where sessions are chronologically ordered sequences of page accessed. Length of sessions also plays its role in measuring similarity.
