Dataset For VMSP Algorithm

Hello,
I want to use VMSP algorithm for web clickstream analysis. For VMSP algorithm, I searched that it accepts data in SPMF format(The format is sequence of numbers with each number representing an event). So how can I get such a dataset in SPMF format which also gives me the name of the pages the user visits. I might be wrong about this, so correct me if I am. And can someone also guide me for the same...

Hi,
Thanks for using SPMF. There is some datasets on the SPMF website but you are right that they do not provide the name of the webpages.
The original FIFA dataset contained this information: http://ita.ee.lbl.gov/html/contrib/WorldCup.html
But it is not in SPMF format. So you could convert it to SPMF format again and keep the page label. That would be a solution to obtain click streams with the page names.
The FIFA dataset on the SPMF website was converted from this but my student did not keep the page labels and that was several years ago ;-)
Otherwise, another way is to find other logs from webservers using a search engine like Google or Bing. I think it is not hard to find.
Best,
Philippe
