Web usage mining using support vector machine

The web contains rich and dynamic collections of hyperlink information, web page access, and usage information providing rich sources for data mining. From this, we need a system to recommend a visitor good information, This recommendation system can be constructed by web usage mining process. The web usage mining mines web log records to discover user access patterns of web pages. Also it is the application of data mining techniques to large web log data in order to extract usage patterns from user's click streams. In general, the size of web log records is so large that we have difficulty to analyze web log data. To make matter worse, the web log records are very sparse. So it is very hard to estimate the dependency between the web pages. In this paper, we solved this difficulty of web usage mining using support vector machine. In the experiments, we verified our proposed method by given data from UCI machine learning repository and KDD cup 2000.
