Selecting the right web links for a website is important because appropriate links not only can provide high attractiveness but can also increase the website's revenue. In this work, we first show that web links have an intrinsic multi-level feedback structure. For example, consider a 2-level feedback web link: the 1st level feedback provides the Click-Through Rate (CTR) and the 2nd level feedback...
Delay effects can impact the Quality of Experience of interactive systems, which motivates research assessing delay impairments, mostly for web based systems. Current studies follow individual methodologies and typically assesses individual and custom-made web pages, whose construction requires expert knowledge in web technologies. Further, a range of native, non-web applications cannot be easily...
It is extremely difficult for the existing search engines (such as Google and Bing) to crawl, index, rank, and manage huge amount of data and locate information. Semantic web technology (such as Google Knowledge Graph and Wolfram Alpha) is emerging into the answer engine market in order to transform the unstructured data into more structured useful information. However, the existing engines suffer...
World Wide Web is the largest and richest information repository available today. The enormous growth of web makes large scale analysis difficult. An automated method is needed for analyzing and extracting knowledge from the web, along with samples of the knowledge that can be extracted, without user intervention. Data mining techniques are applied to extract knowledge from web data. Web data is text,...
In this paper, we address the issue of how to overview the knowledge ofa given query keyword. We especially focus on concerns of those whosearch for Web pages with a given query keyword, and study how toefficiently overview the whole list of Web search information needs of agiven query keyword. First, we collect Web search information needs ofa given query keyword through search engine suggests. Although...
Sentence ranking is one of the most important research issues in text analysis. It can be used in text summarization and information retrieval. Graph-based methods are a common way of ranking and extracting sentences. In graph based methods, sentences are nodes of graph and edges are built based on the sentence similarities or on sentence co-occurrence relationship. PageRank style algorithms can be...
In this paper, we address the issue of how to overview the knowledge of a given query keyword. We especially focus on concerns of those who search for Web pages with a given query keyword, and study how to efficiently overview the whole list of Web search information needs of a given query keyword. First, we collect Web search information needs of a given query keyword through search engine suggests...
Presentations are crucial components of the knowledge sharing in organizations with the purpose of facilitating organizational acquisition and invention. Current web applications enabling users to collaboratively create presentation-like web contents and locate the created contents on a web page for knowledge sharing are insufficiently supportive of types of materials for presentations and the functions...
With ever increasing number of users on Internet there is a necessity to make Web retrieval process to be more efficient. The users face the problem which is how to get relevant and useful information from the large disorder information. Web mining can change the way results are provided to user queries presently i.e. ranked list of content based results. This work focuses on the study of different...
As the most popular information publishing platform, the Web contains a lot of valued information of interests to users or applications. Although a lot of data extraction techniques have been studied in the last decade, it is still far away from meeting the need of real data extraction. On the one hand, most of them cannot support the whole web information extraction process involving three stages:...
This paper studies the citation-based knowledge flows among research elements such as researcher, paper, publication venue and research topic. The knowledge flow networks have been used to evaluate the research elements and distinguish their roles. The visualization of knowledge flow network of different research elements can overview the knowledge flows among research elements of the same type. This...
In this paper, a knowledge exploration assistant system for inquiry-based learning is proposed to support students when inquiry-based learning is conducted. The proposed system provides students with instant assistance with proper knowledge materials and knowledge exploration functions during their learning process. In addition, students' learning history is automatically recorded by the proposed...
End-user programmers often get stuck because they do not know how to overcome their barriers. We have previously presented an approach called the Idea Garden, which makes minimalist, on-demand problem-solving support available to end-user programmers in trouble. Its goal is to encourage end users to help themselves learn how to overcome programming difficulties as they encounter them. In this paper,...
OBJECTIVE -- The objective of this paper is to describe a case study where Bayesian Networks (BNs) were used to construct an expert-based Web effort model. METHOD -- We built a single-company BN model solely elicited from expert knowledge, where the domain expert was an experienced Web project manager from a small Web company in Auckland, New Zealand. This model was validated using data from 22 past...
Web server log repositories are great source of knowledge, which keeps the record of web usage patterns of different web users. The Web usage pattern analysis is the process of identifying browsing patterns by analyzing the user's navigational behavior. The web server log files which store the information about the visitors of web sites is used as input for the web usage pattern analysis process....
Web-page designing is a newly-developing cross-subject which extends from art and computer technology. Presented in the paper is an analysis of the trend of demand in the web-page designing and the construction of the curriculum setup of web-page designing, and this paper strengthens the combination of art quality and technical quality in the teaching of web-page designing in Multi-media major.
World Wide Web is today the most important media for collecting, sharing and distributing information. Education is one of the fields where web-based technology has been quickly and successfully adopted. Web mining is active research area which involves transformation and interpretation of web data to find out the hidden information by using various data mining techniques which will be useful in enhancing...
Association Link Network (ALN) aims to establish associated relations among various resources. By extending the hyperlink network World Wide Web to an association-rich network, ALN is able to effectively support Web intelligence activities such as Web browsing, Web knowledge discovery, and publishing, etc. Since existing methods for building semantic link on Web resources cannot effectively and automatically...
Web text mining is a growing research area in data mining. Interestingly, the existing Web text mining algorithms have concentrated on finding frequent patterns while discarding the less frequent ones that may contain outliers. In addition, the domain knowledge in one industry is partly different from that in the others. Whatever they belong to, web texts are analyzed using the same dictionary. This...
Web mining consists of three aspects: Web content mining, Web structure mining, and web usage mining. The most important application of web mining is targeted advertising. Sequential mining is the process of applying data mining techniques to a sequential database for the purposes of discovering the correlation relationships that exist among an ordered list of events. An important application of sequential...
