WEB PAGE CLASSIFICATION CONSIDERING PAGE GROUP STRUCTURE FOR BUILDING A HIGH-QUALITY HOMEPAGE COLLECTION

Abstract

We propose a web page classification method for creating a high quality homepage collection considering page group structure. We use support vector machine (SVM) with textual features obtained from each page and its surrounding pages. The surrounding pages are grouped according to connection type (in-link, outlink, and directory entry) and relative URL hierarchy (same, upper, or lower); then an independent feature subset is generated from each group. Feature subsets are further concatenated to compose the feature set of a classifier. The experiment results using ResJ-01 data set manually created by the authors and WebKB data set show the effectiveness of the proposed features compared with a baseline and some prior works. By tuning the classifiers, we then build a three-way classifier using a recall-assured and a precision-assured classifier in combination to accurately select the pages that need manual assessment to assure the required quality. It is also shown to be effective for reducing the amount of manual assessment.
