ABSTRACT: 

Web link analysis and usage mining represent two active lines of
researches arisen in the area of knowledge discovery on the Internet. By
thinking about the relationships between and within Web users and Web
documents, we can generate a richer representation that encompasses aspects
of Web link analysis as well as Web usage mining techniques. This talk shows
two paths of this unified representation. Latent information in Web links
and usage data is encoded as correlations among Web documents in one path,
or as user interactions with the Web documents in the other. We examine
semantics and properties of both models, and demonstrate the use of the
second path by stepping through a simple example.
