Data Mining for Personal Navigation Gurushyam Hariharan Pasi Fränti Sandeep Mehta DYNAMAP PROJECT University of Joensuu, FINLAND

Personal Navigation Location information is used for: 1.Plotting location of user on a map 2.Navigational guidance to given destination 3.Provide data related to location

Data mining required 1.For retrieval of location-related information from www (Web mining) 2.For Task-oriented data extraction from web documents 3.For user profiling (additional parameters for defining what is relevant)

Overall Scheme

Traditional definition of relevance Keyword –Web-Based Search Engines User Profile –Past Behavior of self and community define the profile –Automatic suggestions (e.g. Amazon.com proposed other “relevant” books)

Novel Approach to Data(Web)- Mining for a MOBILE USER Key is to find RELEVANT information Re-defining Relevance for Mining Web Relevance depends on – User request at the moment – User preferences –Relevance = Traditional Parameters (Keywords, Profile) + LOCATION

Additional relevance factor: Location Co-ordinates of mobile User  City/Street address Relevance = Location + Keywords (+Profile) For example: –Helsinki downtown –“Restaurant” –“Budget prize” “Vegetarian”

Issues for a Personal Navigation System with the NEW Definition Spot the client on the Globe Co-ordinate  Location interconvertion Data Extraction: Task oriented search of web Scalability (in accordance with User’s Mobile Device) User profile learning Pass Relevant Information to the Mobile User
