Exploiting Structural Similarity For Effective Web Information Extraction
Abstract
In this paper we propose an architecture that exploit web pages stuctural information for the extraction of relevant information from them.
In this architecture, a primary role played by a distance-based classification methodology is devised.
Such a methodology is based on an efficient and effective technique for detecting structural similarities among semistructured documents,
which significantly differs from standard methods based on graph-matching algorithms.
The technique is based on the idea of representing the structure of a document as a time series in which each occurrence
of a tag corresponds to a given impulse. By analyzing the frequencies of the corresponding Fourier transform, we can hence state
the degree of similarity between documents.
Experiments on real data show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
