Especially with the wide use of dynamic page generation, and richer user interaction in Web, traditional web usage mining methods, which are based on the pageview concept are of limited usability. For overcoming the difficulty of capturing usage behaviour, we define the concept of semantic events. Conceptually, events are higher level actions of a user in a web site, that are technically independent of pageviews. Events are modelled as objects in the domain of the web site, with associated properties. A sample event from a video web site is the 'play video event' with properties 'video', 'length of video', 'name of video', etc. When the event objects belong to the domain model of the web site's ontology, they are referred as semantic events. In this work, we propose a new algorithm and associated framework for mining patterns of semantic events from the usage logs. We present a method for tracking and logging domain-level events of a web site, adding semantic information to events, an ordering of events in respect to the genericity of the event, and an algorithm for computing sequences of frequent events.

A content boosted collaborative filtering approach for movie recommendation based on local & global similarity and missing data prediction
Özbal, Gözde; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
Recently, it has become more and more difficult for the existing web based systems to locate or retrieve any kind of relevant information, due to the rapid growth of the World Wide Web (WWW) in terms of the information space and the amount of the users in that space. However, in today's world, many systems and approaches make it possible for the users to be guided by the recommendations that they provide about new items such as articles, news, books, music, and movies. However, a lot of traditional recommen...
Automatic composition of semantic web services with the abductive event calculus
Kırcı, Esra; Çiçekli, Fehime Nihan; Department of Computer Engineering (2008)
In today's world, composite web services are widely used in service oriented computing, web mashups and B2B Applications etc. Most of these services are composed manually. However, the complexity of manually composing web services increase exponentially with the increase in the number of available web services, the need for dynamically created/updated/discovered services and the necessity for higher amount of data bindings and type mappings in longer compositions. Therefore, current highly manual web servic...
Using ontology based web usage mining and object clustering for recommendation
Yılmaz, Hakan; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Many e-commerce web sites such as online book retailers or specialized information hubs such as online movie databases make use of recommendation systems where users are directed to items of interests based on past user interactions. Keyword-based approaches, collaborative and content filtering techniques have been tried and used over the years each having their own shortcomings. While keyword based approaches are naive and do not take content or context into account collaborative and content filtering tech...
Web usage mining and recommendation with semantic information
Salın, Süleyman; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2009)
Web usage mining has become popular in various business areas related with Web site development. In Web usage mining, the commonly visited navigational paths are extracted in terms of Web page addresses from the Web server visit logs, and the patterns are used in various applications. The semantic information of the Web page contents is generally not included in Web usage mining. In this thesis, a framework for integrating semantic information with Web usage mining is implemented. The frequent navigational ...
Missing link discovery in wikipedia: a comparative study
Sunercan, Ömer; Birtürk, Ayşe Nur; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
The fast growing online encyclopedia concept presents original and innovative features by taking advantage of information technologies. The links connecting the articles is one of the most important instances of these features. In this thesis, we present our work on discovering missing links in Wikipedia articles. This task is important for both readers and authors of Wikipedia. Readers will benefit from the increased article quality with better navigation support. On the other hand, the system can be employ...
