We propose a new approach to cluster the web pages. Utilizing an iterative reinforced algorithm, the model extracts semantic feature vectors from user click-through data. We then use LSA (Latent Semantic Analysis) to reduce the feature dimension and K-means algorithm to cluster documents. Compared to the traditional way of feature extraction (lexical binomial model), our new model has better pu...

The article presents a hierarchical framework, which supports website quality assessment. The framework is composed of a hierarchical structure of criteria and subcriteria and makes use of the Analytic Hierarchy Process to enhance criterion and subcriterion weight value assessment. To validate the framework we conducted an experiment, which involved the assessment of the websites of the three c...

Automated website synthesis is more straightforward than automated program synthesis in artificial intelligence research but can yield clear benefits for large groups of people. We briefly describe our current work and approach to building websites for academic research and aviation accident reporting. Automated website synthesis is applicable to many situations which require efficiency in crea...
