It is desirable if users surfing on the Internet could find Web pages related to their interests as closely as possible. Toward this ends, this paper presents a topic specific Web crawler computing the degree of relevance. collecting a cluster of pages given a specific topic, and refining the preliminary set of related web pages using term frequency/document frequency, entropy, and compiled rules. In the experiments, we tested our topic specific crawler in terms of the accuracy of its classification, crawling efficiency, and crawling consistency. First, the classification accuracy using the set of rules compiled by CN2 was the best, among those of C4.5 and back propagation learning algorithms. Second, we measured the classification efficiency to determine the best threshold value affecting the degree of relevance. In the third experiment, the consistency of our topic specific crawler was measured in terms of the number of the resulting URLs overlapped with different starting URLs. The experimental results imply that our topic specific crawler was fairly consistent, regardless of the starting URLs randomly chosen.

The Internet has been expanded constantly and greatly such that we are having vast number of web pages with dynamic changes. Especially, the fast development of wireless communication technology and the wide spread of various smart devices enable information being created at speed and changed anywhere, anytime. In this situation, web crawling, also known as web scraping, which is an organized, automated computer system for systematically navigating web pages residing on the web and for automatically searching and indexing information, has been inevitably used broadly in many fields today. This paper aims to implement a prototype web crawler with Python and to improve the execution speed using threads on multicore CPU. The results of the implementation confirmed the operation with crawling reference web sites and the performance improvement by evaluating the execution speed on the different thread configurations on multicore CPU.

A Web crawler is an important Internet software technology used in a variety of Internet application software which includes search engines. As Internet continues to grow, implementations of high performance web crawlers are urgently demanded. In this paper, we study how to support dynamic scheduling for a multiprocess-based web crawler. For high performance, web crawlers are usually based on multiprocess in their implementations. In these systems, crawl scheduling which manages the allocation of web pages to each process for loading is one of the important issues. In this paper, we identify issues which are important and challenging in the crawl scheduling. To address the issue, we propose a dynamic crawl scheduling framework and subsequently a system architecture for a web crawler with dynamic crawl scheduling support. This paper presents the design of the Web crawler with dynamic scheduling support.

While the World-Wide Web offers an incredibly rich base of information, organized as a hypertext it does not provide a uniform and efficient way to retrieve specific information. Therefore, it is needed to develop an efficient web crawler for gathering useful information in acceptable amount of time. In this paper, we studied the order in which the web crawler visit URLs to rapidly obtain more important web pages. We also developed an internet agent for efficient web crawling using hyperlink structure and fitness of hypertext documents. As a result of experiment on a website. it is shown that proposed agent outperforms other web crawlers using BackLink and PageRank algorithm.

Conventional Web crawlers are reducing overhead burden on the server to ensure the integrity of data optimization measures have been continuously developed. The amount of data growing exponentially faster among those data, then the data needs to be collected should be used to the modern web crawler is the indispensable presence. In this paper, suggested that the existing Web crawler and Web crawler approach efficiency comparison and analysis. In addition, based on the results, compared to suggest an optimized technique, Web crawlers, data collection cycle dynamically reduces the overhead of the server system was designed for. This is a Web crawler approach will be utilized in the field of the search system.

With the aim of creating new economic values and strengthening national competitiveness, governments and major private companies around the world are continuing their interest in big data and making bold investments. In order to collect objective data, such as news, securing data integrity and quality should be a prerequisite. For researchers or practitioners who wish to make decisions or trend analyses based on objective and massive data, such as portal news, the problem of using the existing Crawler method is that data collection itself is blocked. In this study, we implemented a method of collecting web data by addressing existing crawler-style problems using the cloud service platform provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). In addition, we collected 'gas safety' articles and analyzed issues related to gas safety. In order to ensure gas safety, the research confirmed that strategies for gas safety should be established and systematically operated based on five categories: accident/occurrence, prevention, maintenance/management, government/policy and target.

We propose a web crawler system with keyword extraction function in this paper. Researches on the keyword extraction in existing text mining are mostly based on databases which have already been grabbed by documents or corpora, but the purpose of this paper is to establish a real-time keyword extraction system which can extract the keywords of the corresponding text and store them into the database together while grasping the text of the web page. In this paper, we design and implement a crawler combining RAKE keyword extraction algorithm. It can extract keywords from the corresponding content while grasping the content of web page. As a result, the performance of the RAKE algorithm is improved by increasing the weight of the important features (such as the noun appearing in the title). The experimental results show that this method is superior to the existing method and it can extract keywords satisfactorily.

For analyzing and prediction of economic trends, it is necessary to collect particular economic news and stock data. Typical Web crawler to analyze the page content, collects document and extracts URL automatically. On the other hand there are forms of crawler that can collect only document of a particular topic. In order to collect economic news on a particular Web site, we need to design a crawler which could directly analyze its structure and gather data from it. The wrapper-based web crawler design is required. In this paper, we design a crawler wrapper for Economic news analysis system based on big data and implemented to collect data. we collect the data which stock data, sales data from USA auto market since 2000 with wrapper-based crawler. USA and South Korea's economic news data are also collected by wrapper-based crawler. To determining the data update frequency on the site. And periodically updated. We remove duplicate data and build a structured data set for next analysis. Primary to remove the noise data, such as advertising and public relations, etc.

Recently, a lot of data has been generated according to the diversity and utilization of information, and the importance of big data analysis to collect, store, process and predict data has increased, and the ability to collect only necessary information is required. More than half of the web space consists of text, and a lot of data is generated through the organic interaction of users. There is a crawling technique as a representative method for collecting text data, but many crawlers are being developed that do not consider web servers or administrators because they focus on methods that can obtain data. In this paper, we design and implement an improved dynamic web crawler that can efficiently fetch data by examining problems that may occur during the crawling process and precautions to be considered. The crawler, which improved the problems of the existing crawler, was designed as a multi-process, and the work time was reduced by 4 times on average.

The mobile internet has grown ubiquitous across the globe with the widespread use of smart devices. However, the designs of modern mobile operating systems and their applications limit content retrieval with mobile applications. The mobile internet is not as accessible as the traditional web, having more man-made restrictions and lacking a unified approach for crawling and content retrieval. In this study, we propose an automatic and scalable mobile application content crawler, which can recognize the interaction paths of mobile applications, representing them as interaction graphs and automatically collecting content according to the graphs in a parallel manner. The crawler was verified by retrieving content from 50 non-game applications from the Google Play Store using the Android platform. The experiment showed the efficiency and scalability potential of our crawler for large-scale mobile internet content retrieval.
