WebVAT is an open-source platform-independent visualization tool designed to facilitate Web page analysis. The tool, built on top of the Mozilla Web browser, exposes Mozilla’s internal representation of Web pages, Frame Tree, reflecting HTML rendering information. Compared to HTML DOM analyzers, WebVAT provides access to a cleaner, fuller, and more accurate data structure, which contains layout...

Rather than using traditional text analysis to discover Web pages similar to a given page, we investigate applying link analysis. Since web pages exist in a link-rich environment, that has the potential to relate pages by any property imaginable — since links are not restricted to intrinsic properties of the page text or metadata. In particular, while Web page similarity link analysis has been ...

In this paper, we present a novel approach to automatically analyzing semantic structure of HTML pages based on detecting visual similarities of content objects on web pages. The approach is developed based on the observation that in most web pages, layout styles of subtitles or records of the same content category are consistent and there are apparent separation boundaries between different ca...

The size of the World Wide Web is growing rapidly and it has become a very important source of information that can be useful to various academic and commercial applications. However, because of the large number of documents online, it is becoming increasingly difficult to search for useful information on the Web. General-purpose Web search engines, such as Google and AltaVista, present search ...

Voice User Interfaces (VUI's) are rapidly evolving to include Web based content. The primary motivations are: to provide a widely available means for creating new interactive voice applications; addressing needs for mobility; and addressing issues in accessibility. Much of this activity has focused on creating new markup languages like VoiceXML, now being standardized by the W3C Voice Browser W...

Grouping of gene expression patterns across biological experiments, treatments and time-series data is performed in q-intervals of measurements using phase-shifted analysis of gene expression (PAGE); a Java-based tool to find clusters of genes that share trends of expression profiles within the dataset. The patterns and genes within q-Clusters are visualized in trend plots and compared to deter...

In this paper we introduce the concept of dynamic link pages. A web site/page contains a number of links to other pages. All the links are not equally important. Few links are more frequently visited and few rarely visited. In this scenario, identifying the frequently used links and placing them in the top left corner of the page will increase the user’s satisfaction. This process will reduce t...
