Intention mining

In data mining, intention mining or intent mining is the problem of determining a user's intention from logs of their behavior in interaction with a computer system, such as a search engine. This notion is introduced for the first time in the paper of Dr. Ghazaleh Khodabandelou et al.^[1]

Some authors model the intentions as an intentional process model in order to have a better understanding of the human way of thinking.^[1]

Application

Intention Mining has already been used in several domains:

• Software Engineering (Ghazaleh Khodabandelou^[2] et al., 2013),^[1](Ghazaleh Khodabandelou et al., 2014),^[3] (Ghazaleh Khodabandelou et al., 2014),^[4]
• Web search : (Hashemi et al., 2008),^[5] (Zheng et al., 2002),^[6] (Strohmaier & Kröll, 2012),^[7] (Kröll & Strohmaier, 2012),^[8] (Park et al., 2010),^[9] (Jethava et al., 2011),^[10] (González-Caro & Baeza-Yates, 2011),^[11] (Baeza-Yates et al., 2006) ^[12]
• Business : Workarounds,^[13] (Epure, 2013),^[14] (Epure et al., 2014) ^[15]
• Engineering : Entity Relationship modelling,^[1] Method Engineering,^[16] (Laflaquière et al., 2006),^[17] (Clauzel et al., 2009),^[18] Development traces ^[19]
• Home video : (Mei et al., 2005) ^[20]
