Abstract
In this paper, we present the system “DAWN” (direction anticipation in web navigation) that learns navigational patterns to help users navigating through the world wide web. We motivate the purpose of such a system and the approach taken and point out relations to other approaches. Further, we briefly outline the architecture of the system and focus on the prediction model and the algorithm for link recommendation. Evaluation on real-world data gave promising results.
