Marc T. Law, Carlos Sureda Gutierrez, Nicolas Thome, Stophane Gancarski · 2012

We present in this paper a Web page archiving approach combining image and structural techniques. Our main goal is to learn a similarity between Web pages in order to detect whether successive versions of pages are similar or not. Our system is based on a visual similarity measure designed for Web pages. Combined with a structural analysis of Web page source codes, a supervised feature selection method adapted to Web archiving is proposed. Experiments on real Web archives are reported including scalability issues.
