Abstract : Web caches are useful in reducing the user perceived latencies and web traffic congestion. Multi-level classification of web objects in caching is relatively an unexplored area. This paper proposes a novel classification scheme for web cache objects which utilizes a multinomial logistic regression (MLR) technique. The MLR model is trained to classify web objects using the information extracted from web logs. We introduce a novel grading parameternbsp;worthinessnbsp;as a key for the object classification. Simulations are carried out with the datasets generated from real world trace files using the classifier in Least Recently Used-Class Based (LRU-C) and Least Recently Used-Multilevel Classes (LRU-M) cache models. Test results confirm that the proposed model has good online learning and prediction capability and suggest that the proposed approach is applicable to adaptive caching.
