Template extraction is the process of isolating the template of a given webpage. It is widely used in several disciplines, including webpages development, content extraction, block detection, and webpages indexing. One of the main goals of…
Template detection and content extraction are two of the main areas of information retrieval applied to the Web. They perform different analyses over the structure and content of webpages to extract some part of the document. However, their…
Web templates are one of the main development resources for website engineers. Templates allow them to increase productivity by plugin content into already formatted and prepared pagelets. For the final user templates are also useful,…
Blog is becoming an increasingly popular media for information publishing. Besides the main content, most of blog pages nowadays also contain noisy information such as advertisements etc. Removing these unrelated elements can improves user…
The main information of a webpage is usually mixed between menus, advertisements, panels, and other not necessarily related information; and it is often difficult to automatically isolate this information. This is precisely the objective of…
Existing works for extracting navigation objects from webpages focus on navigation menus, so as to reveal the information architecture of the site. However, web 2.0 sites such as social networks, e-commerce portals etc. are making the…
Extracting main content from web pages provides primary informative blocks that remove a web page's minor areas like navigation menu, ads, and site templates. The main content extraction has various applications: information retrieval,…
Web pages are a valuable source of information for many natural language processing and information retrieval tasks. Extracting the main content from those documents is essential for the performance of derived applications. To address this…
As web agents (e.g., Deep Research) routinely consume massive volumes of web pages to gather and analyze information, LLM context management -- under large token budgets and low signal density -- emerges as a foundational, high-importance,…
The extraction of main content from web pages is an important task for numerous applications, ranging from usability aspects, like reader views for news articles in web browsers, to information retrieval or natural language processing.…
Boilerplate refers to unwanted and repeated parts of a webpage (such as ads or table of contents) that distracts the user from reading the core content of the webpage, such as a news article. Accurate detection and removal of boilerplate…
Indexing the Web is becoming a laborious task for search engines as the Web exponentially grows in size and distribution. Presently, the most effective known approach to overcome this problem is the use of focused crawlers. A focused…
Text detection in natural images is a challenging but necessary task for many applications. Existing approaches utilize large deep convolutional neural networks making it difficult to use them in real-world tasks. We propose a small yet…
When searching the web, it is often possible that there are too many results available for ambiguous queries. Text snippets, extracted from the retrieved pages, are an indicator of the pages' usefulness to the query intention and can be…
Commercial web search engines employ near-duplicate detection to ensure that users see each relevant result only once, albeit the underlying web crawls typically include (near-)duplicates of many web pages. We revisit the risks and…
