Web Mining: Opportunities, Challenges, and Future Directions

With the objective of gleaning necessary knowledge and insights from the enormous amount of data accessible on the World Wide Web, web mining is a well-known research field. Web mining has developed into a crucial tool for companies, researchers, and organizations to find hidden patterns and linkages that might guide decision-making as the amount of web data grows exponentially. An in-depth analysis of its capacity to identify patterns, find fresh insights, and enhance decision-making is provided in this study. Additionally, providing insight into consumer behavior, industry trends, and business intelligence can assist companies and organizations in gaining a competitive advantage. Web mining faces many difficulties, including poor data quality, privacy issues, and ethical dilemmas. Additionally, the sheer volume of data available on the web presents a challenge in terms of processing, storage, and analysis. This paper discusses these challenges in detail and provides recommendations for overcoming them.
