Giacomo Berardi, Andrea Esuli, Fabrizio Sebastiani, Fabrizio Silvestri · 2011
Abstract. In this paper we approach blog distillation by adding a link analysis phase to the standard retrieval-by-topicality phase, where we also we check whether a given hyperlink is a citation with a positive or a negative nature. This allows us to test the hypothesis that distinguishing approval from disapproval brings about benefits in blog distillation. 1
