ABSTRACT:
Automated analysis of the world wide web is a new challenging area
relevant in many applications, e.g., retrieval, navigation and
organization of information, automated information assistants, and e-commerce.
This paper discusses the use of unsupervised and supervised learning methods
for user behavior modeling and content-based segmentation and classification of
web pages.
The modeling is based on independent component analysis and hierarchical
probabilistic clustering techniques.
