About

Dr. Rakhi Garg is a leading researcher in the field of Web usage mining, with a primary focus on the critical challenges of data preprocessing and user identification. Her work addresses the fundamental problem of extracting meaningful behavioral patterns from the massive, unstructured data of Web server logs. Dr. Garg’s most influential contribution is the development of a MapReduce-based user identification algorithm, which leverages parallel computing to efficiently handle the scale of big data in web analytics. This work, cited 9 times, directly tackles the complex task of distinguishing individual human users from automated agents. She has further advanced the field by conducting a rigorous performance evaluation of parallel preprocessing algorithms, demonstrating how robot detection methods can be integrated to clean and prepare datasets for accurate mining. Her research on robot detection, which differentiates between ethical and unethical web robots, is vital for ensuring data integrity and protecting network security. With a total of 19 citations across her key works, Dr. Garg’s contributions are foundational for researchers and practitioners seeking to build robust, scalable systems for understanding user navigation behavior in the modern web.
