Desde sus comienzos, ha sido muy evidente el potencial de la extracción de conocimientos valiosos de la Web. La minería de la Web – es decir, la aplicación de técnicas de minería de datos para extraer conocimientos de los contenidos, estructura y usos de la Web – es el conjunto de tecnologías que satisfacen este potencial. El interés por la minería de la Web ha crecido rápidamente en su corta existencia, tanto en las comunidades de investigación como en las de los prácticos. Se ha desarrollado un número de nuevos conceptos, por ejemplo, PageRank, hubs & authorities, comunidades Web, mediciones del interés del material de la web, etc. y técnicas para computarlos. Además, una amplia variedad de empresas usa minería de la Web en forma regular en sus operaciones diarias: por ejemplo, Amazon, Yahoo, Google, etc. Esta charla ofrece un panorama de los logros en este campo, tanto en término de tecnologías como de aplicaciones – y sugiere líneas claves para futuras investigaciones.

la exposición será en inglés
