Knowledge Discovery from Web Usage Data: Research and Development of Web Access Pattern Tree Based Sequential Pattern Mining Techniques: A Survey

Sequential pattern mining is the process of applying data mining techniques to a sequential database, to extract frequent subsequences to discover correlation that exists among the ordered list of events. Web Usage mining (WUM) discovers and extracts interesting knowledge/patterns from Web logs is one of the applications of Sequential Pattern Mining. In this paper, we present a survey of the sequential pattern mining techniques based Web Access Pattern (WAP) tree on Web logs.
