This chapter focuses on predicting web user behaviors. When web users enter a website, every move they make on that website is stored as web log files. Unlike the focus group or questionnaire, the log files reflect real user behavior. It can easily be said that having actual user behavior is a gold value for the organizations. In this chapter, the ways of extracting user patterns (user behavior) from the log files are sought. In this context, the web usage mining process is explained. Some web usage mining techniques are mentioned.

The user behavior on a website triggers a sequence of queries that have a result which is the display of certain pages. The Information about these queries (including the names of the resources requested and responses from the Web server) are stored in a text file called a log file. Analysis of server log file can provide significant and useful information. Web Mining is the extraction of interesting and potentially useful patterns and implicit information from artifacts or activity related to the World Wide Web. Web usage mining is a main research area in Web mining focused on learning about Web users and their interactions with Web sites. The motive of mining is to find users' access models automatically and quickly from the vast Web log file, such as frequent access paths, frequent access page groups and user clustering. Through Web Usage Mining, several information left by user access can be mined which will provide foundation for decision making of organizations, Also the process of Web mining was defined as the set of techniques designed to explore, process and analyze large masses of consecutive information activities on the Internet, has three main steps: data preprocessing, extraction of reasons of the use and the interpretation of results. This paper will start with the presentation of different formats of web log files, then it will present the different preprocessing method that have been used, and finally it presents a system for “Web content and Usage Mining'' for web data extraction and web site analysis using Data Mining Algorithms Apriori, FPGrowth, K-Means, KNN, and ID3.

Automated User Behavior Mapping is an application of web usage mining using which we can see the real-time behavior of end user visiting a particular web page automatically. The technologies used in this are socket programming for real-time communication between the server and the user accessing the website for collection of web log data and selenium web driver for automating the user behavior using web log files.

The web is a rich data mining source which is dynamic and fast growing, providing great opportunities which are often not exploited. Web data represent a real challenge to traditional data mining techniques due to its huge amount and the unstructured nature. Web logs contain information about the interactions between visitors and the website. Analyzing these logs provides insights into visitors' behavior, usage patterns, and trends. Web usage mining, also known as web log mining, is the process of applying data mining techniques to discover useful information hidden in web server's logs. Web logs are primarily used by Web administrators to know how much traffic they get and to detect broken links and other types of errors. Web usage mining extracts useful information that can be beneficial to a number of application areas such as: web personalization, website restructuring, system performance improvement, and business intelligence. The Web usage mining process involves three main phases: pre-processing, pattern discovery, and pattern analysis. Various preprocessing techniques have been proposed to extract information from log files and group primitive data items into meaningful, lighter level abstractions that are suitable for mining, usually in forms of visitors' sessions. Major data mining techniques in web usage mining pattern discovery are: clustering, association analysis, classification, and sequential patterns discovery. This chapter discusses the process of web usage mining, its procedure, methods, and patterns discovery techniques. The chapter also presents a practical example using real web log data.

Web usage mining is the use of data mining techniques to analyze user behavior in order to better serve the needs of the user. This process of personalization uses a set of techniques and methods for discovering the linking structure of information on the web. The goal of web personalization is to improve the user experience by mining the meaningful information and presented the retrieved information in a way the user intends. The arrival of big data instigated novel issues to the personalization community. This chapter provides an overview of personalization, big data, and identifies challenges related to web personalization with respect to big data. It also presents some approaches and models to fill the gap between big data and web personalization. Further, this research brings additional opportunities to web personalization from the perspective of big data.

Web usage mining is a part of data mining. Data usage mining is divided into three parts 1) Data content mining 2) Data structured mining 3) Data usage mining. In this paper I am discussing about log files which are used in data usage mining. Log files are used to store user’s activity in web server using websites. So that websites can be improved by gathering user data. Web usage mining having three sub parts which is reprocessing, data discovery and data analysis. Further, in this paper, details about web log files are discussed. Three algorithms are discussed which are used for patterns of log files. There comparison is showed in this paper with the help of graphs.
