Predicting Where a Web User Wants to Go

Full Text: PredictWhere.ps PS

In this paper, we introduce our on-going research that uses the content of the user's observed clickstream to predict which web pages she wants to visit. Our method first identifies which words will be in these 'information content' pages, and then uses these words to construct search queries to retrieve the relevant webpages. We present empirical evidence that this approach can work effectively.
