A web assessment approach based on summarisation and visualisation

The number of Web sites has noticeably increased to roughly 224 million in last ten years. This means there is a rapid growth of information on the Internet. Although search engines can help users to filter their desired information, the searched result is normally presented in the form of a very long list, and users have to visit each Web page in order to determine the appropriateness of the result. This leads to a considerable amount of time has to be spent on finding the required information. To address this issue, this paper proposes a Web assessment approach in order to provide an overview of the information on a Website using an integration of existing summarisation and visualisation techniques, which are text summarisation, tag cloud, Document Type View, and interactive features. This approach is capable to reduce the time required to identify and search for information from the Web

Summarizing information from Web sites on distributed power generation and alternative energy development

The World Wide Web (WWW) has become a huge repository of information and knowledge, and an essential channel for information exchange. Many sites and thousands of pages of information on distributed power generation and alternate energy development are being added or modified constantly and the task of finding the most appropriate information is getting difficult. While search engines are capable to return a collection of links according to key terms and some forms of ranking mechanism, it is still necessary to access the Web page and navigate through the site in order to find the information. This paper proposes an interactive summarization framework called iWISE to facilitate the process by providing a summary of the information on the Web site. The proposed approach makes use of graphical visualization, tag clouds and text summarization. A number of cases are presented and compared in this paper with a discussion on future work

A study on the deployment of Web technologies by business websites on sustainable energy

Three major challenges faced by human race today are energy crisis, climate change and environmental issues. Increasing the use of sustainable energy is a possible solution to address these problems. While huge amount of money and effort has been invested, a good return on the investment is definitely required by the commercial and business sectors in order to ensure an ongoing and sustainable development of the industry. One mechanism that can be used to drive the business and wider acceptance of sustainable energy by the community is through marketing. An important channel that helps the relationship between companies and customers is the World-Wide-Web. This in turn depends on the design and web technologies being deployed. This paper reports a survey study on the use of web technologies by Ebusiness arena websites on sustainable energy and explains the opportunities for customer acquisitions and relationship management

Automatic content extraction and visualization of Thai websites for improved information representation

This paper presents an integrated approach to automatically provide an overview of content on Thai websites based on tag cloud. This approach is intended to address the information overload issue by presenting the overview to users in order that they could assess whether the information meets their needs. The approach has incorporated Web content extraction, Thai word segmentation, and information presentation to generate a tag cloud in Thai language as an overview of the key content in the webpage. From the experimental study, the generated Thai Tag clouds are able to provide an overview of the tags which frequently appear in the title and body of the content. Moreover, the first few lines in the tag cloud offer an improved readability

A survey on the use of web technologies for the promotion of sustainable energy

Energy crisis and climate changes are now recognised as the key challenges faced by the human race. Many researchers are working towards solutions for the problems. One of the solutions is a wider use of sustainable energy to replace the traditional carbon-based resources. In order to support the researchers to develop this solution, current and up-to-date information and knowledge should be provided and made accessible automatically. One such channel is the World-Wide- Web. This paper surveys web technologies that are currently used to promote sustainable energy on the Web. This information will be used to support the next phase of a research aimed at extracting relevant information from the World-Wide-Web on sustainable energy automatically

iWISE, an intelligent web interactive summarization engine

The Internet is expanding at a rapid rate and in particular the World Wide Web (WWW) has a huge number of users and providers of information. There are many web pages of information being added and the task of finding the most appropriate information is getting difficult. While search engines are capable to return a collection of links according to key terms and some form of ranking mechanism, the users are still need to access the Web page and navigate through the site in order to find the information. This paper proposes an interactive summarization framework called iWISE to facilitate the process. The details and background the research work are provided with discussion on future work

The parahippocampal region: organization and role in cognitive function

Web Content Extraction technique is proposed in this paper. The technique is able to work with both single and multiple pages based on heuristic rules. An Extracted Content Matching (ECM) technique is proposed in the multiple page extraction to identify the noises among the extracted results. Some features in this technique are also introduced in order to reduce processing time such as use of XPath, file compression, and parallel processing. Assessment of the performance is based on precision, recall and F-measure by using the length of extracted content. Initial results by comparing results from the proposed approach to extraction by manual process are good

Purity results for p-divisible groups and abelian schemes over regular bases of mixed characteristic

Vasiu A, Zink T. Purity results for p-divisible groups and abelian schemes over regular bases of mixed characteristic. Documenta Mathematica. 2010;15:571-599.Let p be a prime. Let (R, m) be a regular local ring of mixed characteristic (0, p) and absolute index of ramification e. We provide general criteria of when each abelian scheme over Spec R \ {m} extends to an abelian scheme over Spec R. We show that such extensions always exist if e = 2p-2. The case e >= p-1 implies the uniqueness of integral canonical models of Shimura varieties over a discrete valuation ring O of mixed characteristic (0, p) and index of ramification at most p - 1. This leads to large classes of examples of Neron models over O. If p > 2 and index p - 1, the examples are new
