Hello!
I just learned to use IBM_Quest_data_generator to generator sequence patterns like this:
6 1 9033 3 1845 7713 8778 3 1285 1705 7890 3 4049 6908 7443 2 765 1739 2 3627 9693
1 2 269 4701
......
.....
but what I really want is web logs like:
6 9033 1845 7713 8778 1285 1705
2 269 4701
...
could you tell me how to generator web logs?

Hello,

I think that there are a few options:

• You could write a simple program that convert the file generated by the IBM generator to the format that you want.
• You could change the method for reading the file in your software so that it read the format generated by the IBM generator. For example, you can check the code that I wrote on this page for reading binary sequence databases generated by the IBM generator: http://forum.ai-directory.com/read.php?5,33 (check the loadFileBinaryFormat method)
• You could use another software to generate the sequence database. For example, I wrote a simple sequence database generator here: http://www.philippe-fournier-viger.com/seqDBGen/ It does not have as many options as the IBM generator but it is very simple (just about 20 lines of code!)

Best regards,
Philippe

Thank you，Philippe！
I think I will have a try！

Just for completion. Here is another generator created by A. Pitman.

Author of the interesting paper about sequential pattern application to web mining.

Hi Tisonet,

Thanks for sharing that!
