Abstract

In Webspace, mining traversal patterns is to understand user's path traversal patterns. On this mining, it has a unique characteristic which objects (for example, URLs) may be visited due to their positions rather than contents, because users move to other objects according to providing information services. As a consequence, it becomes very complex to extract meaningful information from these data. Recently discovering traversal patterns has been an important problem in data mining because there has been an increasing amount of research activity on various aspects of improving the quality of information services. This paper presents a Dynamic Link Recommendation (DLR) algorithm that recommends link sets on a Web site through mining frequent traversal patterns. It can be employed to any Web site with massive amounts of data. Our experimentation with two real Weblog data clearly validate that our method outperforms traditional method.

웹 공간(Webspace)에서 사용자의 순회패턴을 포착하는 것을 ‘순회패턴 탐사(mining traversal patterns)’라 한다. 순회패턴 탐사에서는 사용자가 원하는 정보를 탐색하기 위해 정보 제공 서비스에 따라 이동하기 때문에 객체(예 : URL)의 내용보다는 위치 때문에 방문될 수도 있는 독특한 특징을 가진다. 따라서 순회패턴 데이터로부터 의미있는 정보를 추출하는 작업의 복잡도를 크게 증가시킨다. 그러나 이러한 정보 제공 서비스의 질을 개선하기 위한 요구가 증가하고 있기 때문에 데이터 탐사 분야에서 순회패턴 탐사 문제는 최근 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 빈발 순회패턴을 탐사하여 웹 사이트 상에서 추천을 수행하는 동적 링크 추천(Dynamic Link Recommendation : DLR) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 DLR 알고리즘은 방대한 자료를 포함하고 있는 대부분의 웹 사이트에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있다. 두 개의 실제 웹 사이트에 적용한 실험 결과는 제안한 방법의 성능이 우수함을 보여준다.
