Abstract
In order to accurately extract the necessary text from the web page, the method of specifying the tag and style attributes where the main contents exist to the web crawler has a problem in that the logic for extracting the main contents. This method needs to be modified whenever the web page configuration is changed. In order to solve this problem, the method of extracting the text by analyzing the frequency of appearance of the text proposed in the previous study had a limitation in that the performance deviation was large depending on the collection channel of the web page. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a method of extracting texts with high accuracy from various collection channels by analyzing not only the frequency of appearance of text but also parent tag paths of text nodes extracted from the DOM tree of web pages.
