Analytical Trends and Practices of Web Intelligence

The web has undergone major transformation during last few years and revolutionized the world we live in. The amount of information and user-generated data on the web is increasing day by day. The major challenge of web research and development is in the effective usage of available data and information on web. Intelligence can be achieved by training the web to learn its content, structure (semantics of web) and by applying intelligent techniques to effectively access the web resources. In this context, Web Intelligence has been recognized as one of the most important as well as the fastest growing research field. This paper provides an overview on the trends and practices of Web Intelligence (WI) that play vital role in meeting the challenges of developing the intelligent web. We also introduce an analysis report on representative references in which the techniques and analytical methods are briefly described.
