  • Abstract
    According to the recent CRDA and drug statistics in Hong Kong, the age range for students abusing psychotropic substance is getting younger emphatically. In 2009, we have collaborated with the RPCO KE of the Hong Kong Police for the development of a web miner to detect information related to potential drug abusers on the web. This paper describes the D-MinerB algorithm for detecting possible patterns posted on blogs. Fuzzy set and some language parsing techniques have been adopted. For the preliminary test of the collected set, we are able to identify 21 blog posts from 472 blog posts while over 84% of the identified ones are relevant.
