Abstract
En 中文
A large number of URLs collected by web crawlers correspond to pages with duplicate or near-duplicate contents. To crawl, store, and use such duplicated data implies a waste of resources, the building of low quality rankings, and poor user experiences. To deal with this problem, several studies have been proposed to detect and remove duplicate documents without fetching their contents. To accomplish this, the proposed methods learn normalization rules to transform all duplicate URLs into the same canonical form. A challenging aspect of this strategy is deriving a set of general and precise rules. In this work, we present DUSTER, a new approach to derive quality rules that take advantage of amulti-sequence alignment strategy. We demonstrate that a fullmulti-sequence alignment of URLs with duplicated content, before the generation of the rules, can lead to the deployment of very effective rules. By evaluating our method, we observed it achieved larger reductions in the number of duplicate URLs than our best baseline, with gains of 82 and 140.74 percent in two different web collections.
