Abstract

See full text

A focussed Web crawler learns to recognize Web pages that are relevant to the interest of one or more users, from a set of examples provided by the users. It then explores the Web starting from the example set, using the statistics collected from the examples and other analysis on the link graph of the growing crawl database, to guide itself towards relevant, valuable resources and away from irrelevant and/or low quality material on the Web. Thereby, the Web crawler builds a comprehensive topic-specific library for the benefit of specific users.
