Predictive web navigation using machine learning and clustering
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11863641B1) outlines a method involving a central database system tracking the number and order of web pages viewed by multiple users within a domain. The system then generates a training data set based on this information and user characteristics, subsequently training a machine-learned model to predict the next web page a user is likely to view. By identifying characteristics of a target user and their browsing history, the system can accurately predict the next web page the user will visit by applying the machine-learned model.
Furthermore, the patent details the process of generating feature vectors, labeling them with next web pages in the order of user visits, and utilizing session context data and web markup to enhance the training data set. The system also incorporates a mechanism to track user behavior, adjust predictions based on observed outcomes, and strengthen or weaken associations between web pages viewed and predicted next pages. Additionally, the patent includes provisions for determining transitions between web pages viewed by a target user and assigning weights to different subsets of web pages based on keyword presence and user engagement metrics, ultimately improving the accuracy of predictions made by the machine-learned model.
