Browser with Clustering of Web Documents
Ravitheja Tetali, Joy Bose, Tasleem Arif · 2013
Accessing relevant information quickly, given limited time and space, is a major issue in Web browsers, especially those in mobile devices. In this paper we propose a framework for grouping similar Web documents in a browser based on similar content of the browsed pages. This grouping can help reduce clutter and enable the user to access relevant Web information quickly. The algorithm we used for clustering is MajorClust, a document similarity algorithm based on tokenizing the words in the document and then determining a cosine similarity measure to estimate the distance between the words. The entire algorithm for clustering is implemented inside the browser without the need of an external Web server. We have implemented and tested the algorithm on a mobile browser and obtained accurate finer clustering of Web pages when compared to Alexa's sub-categories.
