  • Patent number: 9135361
    Abstract: According to an example implementation, a computer-implemented method may include extracting, by a computing device, structured content from a website, determining a recent taxonomy by applying category rules to the structured content, the recent taxonomy including multiple categories and a new category, and updating a stored taxonomy based on the determined recent taxonomy by adding the new category to the stored taxonomy.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8484194
    Abstract: A training set generator may be configured to input a taxonomy including a hierarchy of categories and a plurality of top-level sites, and to output a training set of categorized data. The training set generator may include a crawler configured to crawl each of the top-level sites to determine at least one lower-level site associated therewith and to store the top-level sites and associated lower-level sites as crawl data. The training set generator also may include an extractor configured to determine, for each of the top-level sites, a corresponding site-specific extraction template associating at least one portion of the corresponding top-level site with at least one category of the hierarchy of categories, and further configured to apply each site-specific extraction template to corresponding crawl data to thereby associate the crawl data with the categories of the hierarchical categories and obtain categorized data of the training set.
