Comparative Analysis of Web Usage Mining

Abstract: The World-Wide Web provides every internet citizen with access to a lot of information, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to identify those pieces of information that are relevant to the user. Research in areas of web mining tries to address this problem of web data by applying techniques from data mining on it. The web mining tools are generally used for scanning the HTML documents and other medias, the results are provided for the web engines. It can provide content to web engines to provide productive results in order of relevance. In this paper, we will briefly introduce concepts of web mining and then we will give overview of FP-growth and Apriori algorithm which are important usage mining algorithm and provide their comparison.

Keywords: Web Mining, FP Growth, Apriori.
