Abstract:
This paper is dedicated to investigating the value of information from sibling pages for web page clustering. We use a link-based clustering algorithm to examine the usefulness of sibling links for improving clustering quality. The algorithm is extended by two types of edge weighting techniques. The results of the experiments conducted on WebKB4 dataset prove that: (1) using information from sibling pages can significantly improve clustering quality; (2) sibling pages are more useful than parent and child pages in enhancing clustering performance; (3) weighting and pruning sibling links can not improve the clustering quality. We also conducted an experiment on the citation dataset Cora7. The results indicate that sibling links are not more useful than the direct citation links when used to cluster collections of research papers.
