Title

Dynamic Reference Sifting : a case study in the homepage domain

Source

Computer networks and ISDN systems. 29(1997) no.8, S.1193-1204

Year

1997

Abstract

Presents Dynamic Reference Sifting - a novel architecture that attempts to provide both maximally comprehensive coverage and highly precise responses in real time, for specific home page categories. Describes Ahoy! The Homepage Finder (http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/ahoy), a fielded Web service that embodies Dynamic Reference Sifting for the domain of personal homepages. Ahoy! filters the output of mulptile Web indices to extract 1 or 2 references that are most likely to point to the person's homepage. If it finds no likely candidates, Ahoy! uses knowledge of homepage placement conventions, which it has accumulated from previous experience, to guess the URL for the desired homepage. Ahoy! finds the target homepage and ranks it as the top reference. 9% of the targets are found by guessing the URL. altaVista can find 58% of the targets and ranks only 23% of these as the top reference
