Cluster, SOM and NMF Analyses of Web Patterns

Abstract

This paper focuses on web pages clustering as a tool for typical Web patterns searching and using. Traditional methods of cluster analysis, self-organizing map and nonnegative matrix factorization were applied. Web pages on products sale and automatically detected Web patterns were used as a testing data. The application of GD-CLS (gradient descent constrained least squares) which combines some of the best features of other methods was evaluated as the best solution.
