ELWA 2014 - International Workshop on Ensemble Learning for Web Analytics (ELWA 2014)

Classifier and clustering ensembles are popular data mining methods that combine many individual models, and final classification or clustering results depend on the combined outputs of individual models. These methods are very robust and accurate as they combine the results of many individual models, and consequently they have shown great promise in different kinds of learning problems, including concept drift problems, concept shift problems, one class problems, online learning, and big data analysis. Ensembles give us flexibility to combine various models according to the nature of the problems. On the other hand, Web analytics has different kinds of learning problems which may require the strength of more than one learning models. Therefore, development of new classifier and cluster ensemble methods, and applications of existing ensemble methods for Web analytics are active research areas. Though, a large number of ensemble methods have been proposed for Web analytics, selecting a right ensemble method or creating a new ensemble method for a given problem is a challenging task.
