Ghang Hui · 2003
With the rapid development of WWW, Web Usage Mining, as well as Web Mining, has become a hot direction in academic and industrial circles. It is generally believed that there are three tasks, preprocessing, knowledge discovery and pattern analysis, in Web Usage Mining. Though Web Usage Mining is still ranged in the application of traditional data mining techniques, in view of changes in application environment and operated data concerned, some new difficulties have arisen accordingly. This paper takes efforts to address such challenges in the three phases and introduces some proposed solutions simultaneously.
