With the rapid proliferation of web applications, such as search engine, e-commerce and social networking service, more and more user behaviors are available online, which opens a new perspective for behavioral data analytics where more focus should be put on various types of interactions on the web. For example, users can build friendships with, send messages to and make phone calls with other users, creating user-user interactions; they can also post messages, buy products and check in restaurants, creating user-item interactions. Developing computational methods to model user behaviors, analyze different behavioral patterns, understand mechanisms underlying behavioral logs and eventually predict the next behaviors or detect strange behaviors is of paramount importance since it would improve applications like web search, recommender system and social networking services and, on the other side, stop frauds, spams and attacks. This presents clear challenges to behavior modeling: user behavior depends on contents, intentions and contexts in complex online environments. Moreover, the online settings bring big challenges to behavioral data analysis since user behavioral data is in web scale, heterogeneous, of multiple dimensions, highly sparse and dynamic.
