    © 1989-2012 IEEE. Web-page recommendation plays an important role in intelligent Web systems. Useful knowledge discovery from Web usage data and satisfactory knowledge representation for effective Web-page recommendations are crucial and challenging. This paper proposes a novel method to efficiently provide better Web-page recommendation through semantic-enhancement by integrating the domain and Web usage knowledge of a website. Two new models are proposed to represent the domain knowledge. The first model uses an ontology to represent the domain knowledge. The second model uses one automatically generated semantic network to represent domain terms, Web-pages, and the relations between them. Another new model, the conceptual prediction model, is proposed to automatically generate a semantic network of the semantic Web usage knowledge, which is the integration of domain knowledge and Web usage knowledge. A number of effective queries have been developed to query about these knowledge bases. Based on these queries, a set of recommendation strategies have been proposed to generate Web-page candidates. The recommendation results have been compared with the results obtained from an advanced existing Web Usage Mining (WUM) method. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method produces significantly higher performance than the WUM method

    Now a day’s use of world wide web is going on increasing to get various kind of related information. By considering this fact, there is a need to provide Web page Recommendation to get a relevant result to the user search. There are different kinds of web recommendations are made like images, video, audio, query and web pages. This paper focus on providing web page recommendation to the web page in website based on domain knowledge and web usage. So it proposes models for web page recommendations. The first model is an Ontological Model for finding domain terms. The second model is semantic network analysis model to find out the relationship between domain terms and WebPages. The third model is Conceptual Prediction Model to find out web usage knowledge from web pages .On this basis, web page recommendation is provided to the web page that gives a more relevant result to user search than any other web pages present in that particular website

    Web page recommendation is the technique of web site customization to fulfil the needs of every particular user or group of users. The web has become largest world of knowledge. So it is more crucial task of the webmasters to manage the contents of the particular websites to gather the requirements of the web users. The web page recommendation systems most part based on the exploitation of the patterns of the site's visitors. Domain ontology’s provide shared and regular understanding of a particular domain. Existing system uses pre-order linked WAP-tree mining (PLWAP Mine) algorithm that helps web recommendation system to recommend the interested pages but it has some drawbacks, it require more execution time and memory. To overcome the drawbacks of existing system paper utilizes PREWAP algorithm. The PREWAP algorithm recommends the interested results to web user within less time and with less memory and improves the efficiency of web page recommendation system. In work, various models are presented; the first model is Web Usage Mining which uses the web logs. The second model also utilizes web logs to represent the domain knowledge, here the domain ontology is used to solve the new page problem. Likewise the prediction model, which is a network of domain terms, which is based on the frequently viewed web-pages and represents the integrated web usage. The recommendation results have been successfully verified based on the results which are acquired from a proposed and existing web usage mining (WUM) technique

    In this network era, Web Page Recommendation and web page Recommendation systems can take advantage of semantic network reasoning-capabilities to overcome common limitations of current systems and improve the recommendations’ quality. This paper presents a personalized-web-recommendation system, a system that makes use of representations of items and user-profiles based on ontology in order to provide semantic applications with personalized services. The recommender uses domain ontology to enhance the personalization: on the other hand, user’s interests are modeled in a more effective and accurate way by applying a domain-based inference method; on the other hand, the stemmer algorithm used by our content-based filtering approach, which provides a measure of the affinity between an item and a user, is enhanced by applying a semantic similarity method. Web Usage Mining plays an important role in web page recommender systems and web personalization system. In this paper, we propose an effective personalized web recommendation system based on ontology and Web Usage Mining. The proposed approach integrates semantic knowledge into Web Usage Mining and personalization processes. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15071

    University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.This thesis presents a new framework for a semantic-enhanced Web-page recommender (WPR) system, and a suite of enabling techniques which include semantic network models of domain knowledge and Web usage knowledge, querying techniques, and Web-page recommendation strategies. The framework enables the system to automatically discover and construct the domain and Web usage knowledge bases, and to generate effective Webpage recommendations. The main contributions of the framework are fourfold: (1) it effectively changes the fact that knowledge base construction must rely on human experts; (2) it enriches the pool of candidate Web-pages for effective Web-page recommendations by using semantic knowledge of both Web-pages and Web usage; (3) it thoroughly resolves the inconsistency problem facing contemporary WPR systems which heavily employ heterogeneous representations of knowledge bases. Knowledge bases in the system are consistently represented in a formal Web ontology language, namely OWL; and (4) it can generate effective Web-page recommendations based on a set of thoughtfully-designed recommendation strategies. A prototype of the semantic-enhanced WPR system is developed and presented, and the experimental comparisons with existing WPR approaches convincingly prove the significantly improved performance of WPR systems based on the framework and its enabling techniques

    SemAware: An Ontology-Based Web Recommendation System

    Web Recommendation Systems (WRS\u27s) are used to recommend items and future page views to world wide web users. Web usage mining lays the platform for WRS\u27s, as results of mining user browsing patterns are used for recommendation and prediction. Existing WRS\u27s are still limited by several problems, some of which are the problem of recommending items to a new user whose browsing history is not available (Cold Start), sparse data structures (Sparsity), and no diversity in the set of recommended items (Content Overspecialization). Existing WRS\u27s also fail to make full use of the semantic information about items and the relations (e.g., is-a, has-a, part-of) among them. A domain ontology, advocated by the Semantic Web, provides a formal representation of domain knowledge with relations, concepts and axioms.This thesis proposes SemAware system, which integrates domain ontology into web usage mining and web recommendation, and increases the effectiveness and efficiency of the system by solving problems of cold start, sparsity, content overspecialization and complexity-accuracy tradeoffs. SemAware technique includes enriching the web log with semantic information through a proposed semantic distance measure based on Jaccard coefficient. A matrix of semantic distances is then used in Semantics-aware Sequential Pattern Mining (SPM) of the web log, and is also integrated with the transition probability matrix of Markov models built from the web log. In the recommendation phase, the proposed SPM and Markov models are used to add interpretability. The proposed recommendation engine uses vector-space model to build anitem-concept correlation matrix in combination with user-provided tags to generate top-n recommendation.Experimental studies show that SemAware outperforms popular recommendation algorithms, and that its proposed components are effective and efficient for solving the contradicting predictions problem, the scalability and sparsity of SPM and top-n recommendations, and content overspecialization problems

    Recommender systems engage user profiles and appropriate filtering techniques to assist users in finding more relevant information over the large volume of information. User profiles play an important role in the success of recommendation process since they model and represent the actual user needs. However, a comprehensive literature review of recommender systems has demonstrated no concrete study on the role and impact of knowledge in user profiling and filtering approache. In this paper, we review the most prominent recommender systems in the literature and examine the impression of knowledge extracted from different sources. We then come up with this finding that semantic information from the user context has substantial impact on the performance of knowledge based recommender systems. Finally, some new clues for improvement the knowledge-based profiles have been proposed.Comment: 14 pages, 3 tables; International Journal of Computer Science & Engineering Survey (IJCSES) Vol.2, No.3, August 201

    As the growing interest of web recommendation systems those are applied to deliver customized data for their users, we started working on this system. Generally the recommendation systems are divided into two major categories such as collaborative recommendation system and content based recommendation system. In case of collaborative recommen-dation systems, these try to seek out users who share same tastes that of given user as well as recommends the websites according to the liking given user. Whereas the content based recommendation systems tries to recommend web sites similar to those web sites the user has liked. In the recent research we found that the efficient technique based on asso-ciation rule mining algorithm is proposed in order to solve the problem of web page recommendation. Major problem of the same is that the web pages are given equal importance. Here the importance of pages changes according to the fre-quency of visiting the web page as well as amount of time user spends on that page. Also recommendation of newly added web pages or the pages those are not yet visited by users are not included in the recommendation set. To over-come this problem, we have used the web usage log in the adaptive association rule based web mining where the asso-ciation rules were applied to personalization. This algorithm was purely based on the Apriori data mining algorithm in order to generate the association rules. However this method also suffers from some unavoidable drawbacks. In this paper we are presenting and investigating the new approach based on weighted Association Rule Mining Algorithm and text mining. This is improved algorithm which adds semantic knowledge to the results, has more efficiency and hence gives better quality and performances as compared to existing approaches.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, 2 table
