This study presents an approach that uses session and page view data collected through the CAWAL framework, enriched through specialized processes, for advanced predictive modeling and anomaly detection in web usage mining (WUM) applications. Traditional WUM methods often rely on web server logs, which limit data diversity and quality. Integrating application logs with web analytics, the CAWAL framework creates comprehensive session and page view datasets, providing a more detailed view of user interactions and effectively addressing these limitations. This integration enhances data diversity and quality while eliminating the preprocessing stage required in conventional WUM, leading to greater process efficiency. The enriched datasets, created by cross-integrating session and page view data, were applied to advanced machine learning models, such as Gradient Boosting and Random Forest, which are known for their effectiveness in capturing complex patterns and modeling non-linear relationships. These models achieved over 92% accuracy in predicting user behavior and significantly improved anomaly detection capabilities. The results show that this approach offers detailed insights into user behavior and system performance metrics, making it a reliable solution for improving large-scale web portals' efficiency, reliability, and scalability.

The Performance team at LinkedIn optimizes latency to load web and mobile pages. Faster sites improve customer engagement and eventually revenue to LinkedIn. This concept is well documented by many other companies too who have had similar experiences but how do you define the optimal trade off between page load times and engagement? The relationship between speed and engagement is non-linear. Fast loading sites, after a point, may not increase engagement by further reducing their load times.

RDA, also called attended RPA, is Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for the masses. Just for clarity, we have seen the terms "RDA", "attended RPA", "personal bots" or "software assistants" used to mean the same type of program. We'll refer to this type of program as "RDA" in this article but we also refer to it as "attended RPA" in other articles. Sadly or luckily (based on how you view AI), cognitive capabilities of bots are quite limited when compared to humans. Therefore most of the time it's not possible to completely automate a process, there are parts of a process that need to be evaluated by humans.

With the launch of the Xbox Series X and S, it's not so much about better video game graphics as it is about making your life as a console game player better. Yes, Microsoft's latest consoles, available Nov. 10, feature video games that will look better than its predecessors. But having spent time with the Xbox Series X ($499.99), the more exciting perks not only involve access to a larger library of games available to play, but spending less time waiting for those games to launch and load. Console launches have typically focused on the graphical leaps made between generations, as video games shifted closer to realistic high-res visuals. But with the arrivals of Xbox Series X and S, and Sony's PlayStation 5, out Nov. 12, graphics are taking a backseat at launch in favor of changes that attempt to remove the hassles of console gaming.

The Xbox Series S is, hands-down, the cutest console of the next generation. The Series S can hit resolutions above 1080p, but it doesn't support 4K gaming and it has significantly less storage than the Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5. And, of course, it doesn't have a disc drive. That said, the Series S is a formidable next-gen console that happens to be wrapped up in an adorable package. The Xbox Series S is undoubtedly the most adorable console of the next generation, but its tiny size comes at a cost. It can't play games in 4K, doesn't have a disc drive and has just 362GB of usable storage, unless you buy a pricey expansion card.

You could define "a great website" a variety of ways. In an effort to cover a wide gamut of website types, I'll try to bring a common denominator into play by saying: A great website inspires the visitor to take action. Of course, the best website in the world won't invoke an action every time. However, when you understand and apply the elements that make a great website, your chances to produce a successful outcome multiply immensely. So here we go: a generous list of things you can do to create a great website.

The best sports video games offer more than basic fun through gameplay. The next-level titles serve as a sandbox for armchair general managers who want to run their own interactive fantasy leagues through a gaming console. That's what the franchise mode is all about. Madden and the sport of football are perhaps the game/sport best structured for the experience, but there are a few elements missing on the gaming side. Thankfully, the game will finally allow fans to create and share their own draft class.

Please welcome our weekly sponsor mabl to Hacker Noon! mabl automates functional tests, was founded by 2 ex-Googlers, and has spent the year in private beta. Today, we're going to catch up on the state of this startup -- and find out what makes Co-Founder & CEO Dan Belcher do what he does.
