The future view will prefetch Web pages based on user's browsing strategies and present them to a user in order to assist Web browsing. To learn user's browsing patterns, the future view uses two types of learning classifier systems: a content-based classifier system for contents change patterns and an action-based classifier system for user's action patterns. The results of learning are applied to crawling by Web robot, and gathered Web pages are presented to a user through a Web browser. We experimentally show effectiveness of navigation using the future view.","PeriodicalId":403574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131149931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This mediates between the accomplishment of the specific task at the one hand and the knowledge expressed in the target text fragments at the other. However, building domain conceptualisations from scratch is a very complex and time-consuming task. Traditionally, the reuse of available domain resources, although not constituting always the best, has been applied as an accurate and cost effective solution. Here, we investigate the possibility of exploiting sources of domain knowledge (e.g. a subject reference system) to build a linguistically motivated domain concept hierarchy. The limitation connected with the use of domain taxonomies as ontological resources will be firstly discussed in the specific light of IE, i.e. for supporting linguistic inference. We then define a method for integrating the taxonomical domain knowledge and a general-purpose lexical knowledge base, like WordNet. A case study, i.e. the integration of the MeSH, Medical Subject Headings, and WordNet, will be then presented as a proof of the effectiveness and accuracy of the overall approach.","PeriodicalId":403574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133235398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present WebKIV, a tool we've developed to help us visualize our own results in Web mining. WebKIV combines strategies from several other Web visualization tools, to provide a single method of visualizing Web structure, and the results of Web mining on that structure. We summarize the value of Web visualization tools along the dimensions of scale (can one visualize small and large structures), navigation dynamics (can one visualize navigation dynamically or statically), and cumulative usage (can one distinguish individual and aggregate Web usage). We then show how WebKIV provides a way of visualizing the results of Web mining in a way that distinguishes properties along all three of these dimensions.","PeriodicalId":403574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115958850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it is time consuming to find the online services that are perfectly suited for a given task. First, the users might not have enough information to fill in the required input fields for querying an online service. Second, the online service might generate only partial information. Third, the user might only find the inverse version of the desired service. We propose a framework to develop flexible Web agents that handle these imperfect situations. In this framework we exploit a search engine as a general information discovery tool to assist finding and pruning information. To demonstrate this framework, we implemented two Web agents: the Internet inverse geocoder and the address lookup module.","PeriodicalId":403574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003)","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115636012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A way to obtain such improvement, is to study the behavior of a user while browsing in the Web. For the analysis of this behavior two variables are of particular interest: the pages visited during a user session and the time spent in each one of them. The respective Web log files contain part of this data. These files, however, can contain a huge number of registers where large part of them possibly do not contain relevant information. This is one of the reasons why finding initially unknown and useful relations in Web log registers is a complex task, which can be performed applying the process of knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). We propose a methodology for Web mining based on a data mart model. We applied this methodology analyzing log files from a certain Web site. The respective results, gave very important insights regarding visitors behavior and preferences.

Collaborative filtering is the most popular method in implementing a recommendation system. The collaborative filtering method computes similarities between users based on each user's known preference, and recommends the items preferred by similar users. Although the collaborative filtering method generally shows good performance, it suffers from two major problems - data sparseness and scalability. We present a model-based recommendation algorithm that uses multilevel association rules to alleviate those problems. In this algorithm, we build a model for preference prediction by using association rule mining. Multilevel association rules are used to compute preferences for items. The experimental results show that applying multilevel association rules is effective, and performance of the algorithm is improved compared with the collaborative filtering method in terms of the recall and the computation time.","PeriodicalId":403574,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE/WIC International Conference on Web Intelligence (WI 2003)","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126708378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
