Abstract


With the rapid growth of the World Wide Web, the availability of web- based information is also increasing exponentially day by day. We can say that “we are drowning in data, but starving for knowledge”. Thus, considering the impressive variety of the web, retrieving interesting, relevant, and required information has become a very difficult task. A popular and successful technique that has shown much promise is web mining. This paper presents a deep and intense study of various techniques available for web mining. We also focus on the comparative study of various techniques, process, and algorithms. Finally, we conclude with applications and some research issues. This report also discusses how these approaches facilitate the use of the Internet.
