Abstract

The World-Wide Web provides every internet citizen with access to an abundance of information, but it becomes increasingly difficult to identify the relevant pieces of information. Web mining is a new research area that tries to address this problem by applying techniques from data mining and machine learning to Web data and documents. In this paper, we will give a brief overview of Web mining, with a special focus on techniques that aim at exploiting the graph structure of the Web for improved retrieval performance and classification accuracy.
