Solution

Correct Answer: (i) Web structure mining

Explanation

Web structure mining analyses the link structure of the Web: hyperlinks between pages and the relationships among them. It is used to find authoritative pages, hubs and communities. Well-known algorithms: PageRank and HITS.

The three types of web mining:

  • Web content mining - the content of pages (text, images)
  • Web structure mining - hyperlinks between pages
  • Web usage mining - user access logs and click patterns

Why other options are incorrect:

  • (ii) Numerical integration - a mathematical technique, unrelated.
  • (iii) Web usage mining - studies user behavior from logs, not links.
  • (iv) Data normalization - a preprocessing step.

Answer: (i) Web structure mining
