Abstract

This work suggests a new model of Information Retrieval System for searching information in hypertexts representing web sites. The model is based on the construction of a 2-component index. One component concerns the HTML pages individually. The other one concerns the context of the pages. The assumed premise is that the textual content of a HTML page is not sufficient for a indexing process to extract the information that the page conveys. By the use of both local and complementary content when indexing pages, the quality of their index is improved and so is the effectiveness of the search engine.

Mining the web with hierarchical crawlers – a resource sharing based crawling approach

An important component of any web search engine is its crawler, which is also known as robot or spider. An efficient set of crawlers make any search engine more powerful, apart from its other measures of performance, such as its ranking algorithm, ...

In this paper, we present an alternative approach to the problem of contextual relevance feedback in web-based information retrieval. Our approach utilises a rich contextual model that exploits a user's implicit and explicit data. Each user's implicit ...
