Advances in Web Mining and Web Usage Analysis

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 6th International Workshop on Mining Web Data, WEBKDD 2004, held in Seattle, WA, USA in August 2004 in conjunction with the 10th ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, KDD 2004. The 11 revised full papers presented together with a detailed preface went through two rounds of reviewing and improvement and were carefully selected for inclusion in the book.
