Web mining research: a survey
Open accessAbstract
With the huge amount of information available online, the World Wide Web is a fertile area for data mining research.The Web mining research is at the cross road of research from several research communities, such as database, information retrieval, and within AI, especially the sub-areas of machine learning and natural language processing.However, there is a lot of confusions when comparing research eorts from dierent point of views.In this paper, we survey the research in the area of Web mining, point out some confusions regarded the usage of the term Web mining and suggest three Web mining categories.Then we situate some of the research with respect to these three categories.We also explore the connection between the Web mining categories and the related agent paradigm.For the survey, we focus on representation issues, on the process, on the learning algorithm, and on the application of the recent works as the criteria.We conclude the paper with some research issues.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
