Abstract
The World Wide Web has been growing rapidly in recent years, along with increasing needs for content-based Webpage filtering. But most existing filtering systems cannot easily satisfy the personalized filtering demands from different users at the same time. In this paper, a customizable instance-driven Webpage filtering strategy is proposed. For different users, different Webpage filters are produced by our system through mining the certain Webpage classes they focus on. A semi-supervised learning (SSL) approach is applied for obtaining a precise description of the Webpage class which a user wants to filter based on the small sized user instance set he or she provided. Subsequently, a feature selection step is performed and a Bayes classifier is created over the enlarged training set. Experimental results show the great stability and high performance of our proposed method, and it outperforms existing methods.
