More About This Textbook
Overview
Liu has written a comprehensive text on Web data mining. Key topics of structure mining, content mining, and usage mining are covered both in breadth and in depth. His book brings together all the essential concepts and algorithms from related areas such as data mining, machine learning, and text processing to form an authoritative and coherent text.
The book offers a rich blend of theory and practice, addressing seminal research ideas, as well as examining the technology from a practical point of view. It is suitable for students, researchers and practitioners interested in Web mining both as a learning text and as a reference book. Lecturers can readily use it for classes on data mining, Web mining, and Web search. Additional teaching materials such as lecture slides, datasets, and implemented algorithms are available online.
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
From the reviews:
"This is a textbook about data mining and its application to the Web. […] Liu succeeds in helping readers appreciate the key role that data mining and machine learning play in Web applications. […] It also motivates the student by adding immediacy and relevance to the concepts and algorithms described. I liked the way the concepts are introduced in a stepwise manner. […] I also appreciated the bibliographical notes at the end of each chapter." ACM Computing Reviews, W. Hu, , January 2009
From the reviews of the second edition:
“Liu (Univ. of Illinois, Chicago) discusses all three types of Web mining—structure, content, and usage—in the technology’s efforts to glean information from hyperlinks, Web page content, and usage logs. […] Practical examples complement the discussions throughout the text, and each chapter includes useful ‘Bibliographic Notes’ and an extensive bibliography. […] Liu states that his intended audience includes both undergraduate and graduate students, but notes that researchers and Web programmers could benefit from this text as well. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals.” J. Johnson, Choice, Vol. 49 (5), January 2012
"[...] Liu's book provides a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to the major data mining techniques and their use in Web data mining. [...] Professionals and researchers alike will find this excellent bookhandy as a reference. Its extensive lists of references at the end of each chapter provide hundreds of pointers for further reading. As a textbook, it is also suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on Web mining; it is highly selfcontained and includes many easy-to-understand examples that will help readers grasp the key ideas behind current Web data mining techniques." ACM Computing Reviews, Fernando Berzal, February 2012
