Abstract

At present, the study on Web Usage Mining mainly focuses on pattern discovery (including Association Rules, sequence pattern, etc) and pattern analysis. However, the study on the main data sources, that is to say, the study on web-log pre-process is relatively rare. Given that high-quality data helps a lot in improving Pattern mining precision, this paper studies from this aspects, and proposes the high-effective data preprocessing method.
