About this paper

Yuichi Sasazawa, Yasuhiro Sogawa

Researchers at Hitachi's Research and Development Group developed and evaluated a method using Large Language Models to classify web pages as "Index Pages" or "Content Pages." This approach demonstrates that prioritizing "Index Pages" significantly improves the discovery rate of new web content in simulated crawling environments.

Key insights

  • LLMs can effectively distinguish between Index and Content pages, enabling more intelligent crawling strategies.
  • New content is most efficiently discovered by concentrating crawling efforts on Index Pages, which are designed to link to other pages.
  • Automated dataset creation is feasible for this novel page classification task, facilitating research without manual labeling.
