Abstract

In this paper, we present the system “DAWN” (direction anticipation in web navigation) that helps users to navigate through the world wide web. Firstly, the purpose of such a system and the approach taken are motivated. We then point out relations to other approaches, describe the system and outline the underlying prediction model. Evaluation on real world data gave promising results.
