Page-level template detection via isotonic smoothing
We develop a novel framework for the page-level template detection problem. Our framework is built on two main ideas. The first is the automatic generation of training data for a classifier that, given a page, assigns a templateness score to every DOM node of the page. The second is the global smoothing of these per-node classifier scores by solving a regularized isotonic regression problem; the latter folm a simple yet powerful abstraction of templateness on a page. Our extensive experiments on human-labeled test data show that our approach detects templates effectively.
