  1. Using PageRank and Naïve Bayes Models for extracting data on good web page design Archit Baweja, Daniel Moyer, Doug Traher

  2. Introduction • Web no longer a set of inter connected text-only web pages. • Presentation of content equally important. • Web 2.0 • Good page design is subjective • Re-phrase • Can PageRank be used for classification of web pages for a given category • Present solution requires a domain expert • What if we could extract domain knowledge using stochastic techniques • The world wide web is our pool domain knownledge

  3. Related Works • Studies on inferences from PageRank or similar ranking algorithms • People’s attention in the blogosphere[4] • LinkedIn connections to find powerful people[5] • CodeRank for software metrics[6] • Visual impact of political websites on user trust • Reed et al analyze the visual impact of political websites[3] • Harrison et al on the impact of initial consumer trust on intentions to interact with a website[7]

  4. Background • Google’s PageRank [1] • Naïve Bayes Model [2]

  5. Approach • Use Google API to sort web pages for a given subject • Extract web page features • Train a Naïve Bayes Classifier • Classifier helps answer various questions • Does a given web page belong to a given class • What features should my web page have to belong to a class of web pages.

  6. Evaluation • Experiment details • We used our approach in classifying political websites • Colors as the basis of classification, set • Reasons • Fits well with the naïve bayes model of classification. • Colors are an easy parameter for political websites in the United States of America. • Results Discussion • Promising. • See final report.

  7. Conclusions • Approach is viable • Basis for extracting domain knowledge when there is lack of domain experts • Limitations of technologies used • Rank source is inferred by Google • Assumption of the Naïve Bayes Model

  8. Future Work • Need more experiments • Newer features of web pages; images, flash, widgets • Experiment with other classification techniques • Use a more controlled PageRank implementation • Use other classification techniques (bayes networks, neural networks, markov decision process) • Apply to other fields • Basis for extracting domain knowledge when there is lack of domain experts
