Biclustering methods are the potential data mining technique that has been suggested to identify local patterns in the data. Biclustering algorithms are used for mining the web usage data which can determine a group of users which are correlated under a subset of pages of a web site. Recently, many blistering methods based on meta-heuristics have been proposed. Most use the Mean Squared Residue as merit function but interesting and relevant patterns such as shifting and scaling patterns may not be detected using this measure. However, it is important to discover this type of pattern since commonly the web users can present a similar behavior although their interest levels vary in different ranges or magnitudes. In this paper a new correlation based fitness function is designed to extract shifting and scaling browsing patterns. The proposed work uses a discrete version of Artificial Bee Colony optimization algorithm for biclustering of web usage data to produce optimal biclusters (i.e., highly correlated biclusters). It’s demonstrated on real dataset and its results show that proposed approach can find significant biclusters of high quality and has better convergence performance than Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO).
