....filtering which essentially clusters users, techniques that rely on sequential patterns contain more precise information about users navigational behavior. Techniques that fall into this class include methods that rely on statistical models such as Markov models and sequential pattern mining [17, 8, 14, 18, 21]. These techniques have been well studied and it has been observed that while they are quite effective in making accurate predictions, the coverage of these approaches is not up to the mark[12] Furthermore, these approaches also suffer from the problem that the number of rules generated by such ....

The other two criteria are used in a postprocessing step, on the set of discovered rules, and can be applied to any prefetching scheme, thus they are orthogonal issues to the subject examined in this paper. Finally, two variations of the PPM prefetcher are described in [35] [36]. The first one is a subset of the PPM, whereas in the second one, the selection of prefetching rules to activate is determined by weights assigned on them. 4ACOMMON CONTEXT FOR PREDICTIVE WEB PREFETCHING 4.1 Markov Predictors If S is a sequence of accesses (called a transaction) made ....

....Prediction, Web Log Mining, Web Caching, Prefetching, Association rules. 1 Introduction The problem of modelling and predicting a user s accesses on a Web site has attracted a lot of research interest. It has been used [20] to improve the Web performance through caching [2, 12] and prefetching [34, 22, 35, 29, 39, 40], recommend related pages [19, 38] improve search engines [11] and personalize browsing in a Web site [39] Nowadays, the improvement of Web performance is a very significant requirement. Since the Web s popularity resulted in heavy traffic in the Internet, the net effect of this growth was a ....

....based on three pruning criteria. These criteria are used in a post processing step, on the set of discovered rules, and can be applied to any prefetching scheme, thus they are orthogonal issues to the subject examined in this paper. Finally, two variations of the PPM prefetcher are described in [39, 40]. The first one is a subset of the PPM whereas in the second one the selection of prefetching rules to activate is determined by weights assigned on them. Web caching has received significant attention and several new algorithms were proposed, ranging from extensions to traditional policies ....

....retrieval measures of page similarity and guiding queries have been quite successful at predicting navigation patterns. WebWatcher [15] and adaptive web site agents [23] use machine learning to predict the next link a user will follow a simplified version of the shortcut problem. Sarukkai [28] uses a Markov model of web usage to suggest the most probable links a visitor may follow, and notes the need to reduce the size of the model by clustering the URLs. Space precludes discussion of all related work on sequence prediction and web usage mining. The goal of the WebKB project [5] is to ....

....distinct training and test sets. The algorithm attempts to determine the appropriate concept by learning from the training set. The model is then used statically on the test set to evaluate its performance. This approach is used in a number of Web prediction papers (e.g. ZAN99, AZN99, NZA98, Sar00, SYLZ00, YZL01, ZY01] While we can certainly do the same (and will do so in one case for comparison) our normal approach will be to apply the predictive algorithms incrementally, in which each action serves to update the current user model and assist in making a prediction for the next action. ....

....and large changes in parameter values, and to find useful settings of those parameters for the tested data sets. 4.5. 1 Increasing number of predictions In order to help validate our prediction codes, we replicated (to the extent possible) Sarukkai s HTTP server request prediction experiment [Sar00] This experiment used the EPA HTTP data set, in which the first 40,000 requests were used as training data, and the remainder for testing. We set up our tests identically, and configured our prediction codes to use a first order Markov model (i.e. an n gram size of 2, with no minimum support ....

....frequency. Each sub string of length n is an n gram. The algorithm scans through all sub strings exactly once, recording occurrence frequencies of the next click immediately after the sub string in all sessions. The maximum occurred request is used as the prediction for the sub string. In [28], the authors proposed to use Markov chains to dynamically model the URL access patterns that are observed in navigation logs based on the previous state. Markov chain model can be defined by the tuple S, A, P where A corresponds to the state space; A is the matrix representing transition ....

....The learning and interest tracking module has been thoroughly tested and integrated into a streaming media server (MediaMiner) and a media player client (VideoChargerPlus) product prototype. While HMMs have been used before for modeling and predicting different kinds of web browsing behavior[7, 9, 1], and for plan recognition[8, 4, 3, 5, 2] the use of HMM to predict the interestingness of video fi om deciphering the interest level of users is novel. Also, our approach uses supervised learning to automatically initialize HMM parameters unlike other manual approaches. Any application can thus ....
