Mining the Web: Analysis of Hypertext and Semi Structured Data (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)

Buy
Mining the Web: Discovering Knowledge from Hypertext Data is the first book devoted entirely to techniques for extracting and producing knowledge from the vast body of unstructured Web data. Building on an initial survey of infrastructural issuesincluding Web crawling and indexingChakrabarti examines machine learning techniques as they relate specifically to the challenges of Web mining and provides applications of machine learning to sytematically acquire, store, and analyze data. Here the focus is on results: the strengths and weaknesses of these applications, along with their potential as foundations for further progress toward a Web that is more aware of content semantics. This thorough and forward-looking book gives the theoretical and practical foundations you need to build innovative applications for mining the Web.

Features
  • A comprehensive, critical exploration of statistics-based attempts to make sense of Web data.
  • Details the special challenges associated with analyzing unstructured and semi-structured data.
  • Looks at how classical Information Retrieval techniques have been modified for use with Web data.
  • Focuses on today's dominant learning methods: clustering and classification, hyperlink analysis, and supervised and semi-supervised learning.
  • Analyzes current applications for resource discovery and social network analysis.
  • An excellent way to introduce students to especially vital applications of data mining and machine learning technology.

Tragic Design: The Impact of Bad Product Design and How to Fix It
Tragic Design: The Impact of Bad Product Design and How to Fix It

Bad design is everywhere, and its cost is much higher than we think. In this thought-provoking book, authors Jonathan Shariat and Cynthia Savard Saucier explain how poorly designed products can anger, sadden, exclude, and even kill people who use them. The designers responsible certainly didn’t intend harm, so what can you do...

Placebo and Pain: From Bench to Bedside
Placebo and Pain: From Bench to Bedside

The placebo effect continues to fascinate scientists, scholars, and clinicians, resulting in an impressive amount of research, mainly in the field of pain. While recent experimental and clinical studies have unraveled salient aspects of the neurobiological substrates and clinical relevance of pain and placebo analgesia, an authoritative...

Analysis for Computer Scientists: Foundations, Methods, and Algorithms (Undergraduate Topics in Computer Science)

Mathematics and mathematical modelling are of central importance in computer science. For this reason the teaching concepts of mathematics in computer science have to be constantly reconsidered, and the choice of material and the motivation have to be adapted. This applies in particular to mathematical analysis, whose significance has to be...
