CAREER: New Clustering Algorithms Based on Robust Estimation and Genetic Niches with Applications to Web Usage Mining

该研究项目将开发一种基于遗传小生境的健壮的无监督聚类技术。它包括开发统计估计器并在Baldwin学习方案中使用该估计器。它还将开发一种不断发展的网络个性化系统以及对网络使用数据进行预处理的技术。职业发展计划将包括对研究生进行网络挖掘培训，并将结果纳入本科课程。

This research project will develop a robust unsupervised clustering technique based on Genetic Niching. It includes the development of a statistical estimator and to use this estimator in a Baldwin learning scheme. It will also develop an evolutionary web personalization system as well as techniques for preprocessing web usage data. The career development plan will include training graduate students in web mining as well as integrating the results into the undergraduate curriculum.
