| Abstract | We address the problem of synthesizing a robust data-extractor from a family of websites that contain the same kind of information. This problem is common when trying to aggregate information from many web sites, for example, when extracting information for a price-comparison site. Given a set of example annotated web pages from multiple sites in a family, our goal is to synthesize a robust data extractor that performs well on all sites in the family (not only on the provided example pages). The main challenge is the need to trade off precision for generality and robustness. Our key contribution is the introduction of forgiving extractors that dynamically adjust their precision to handle structural changes, without sacrificing precision on the training set. Our approach uses decision tree learning to create a generalized extractor and converts it into a forgiving extractor, inthe form of an XPath query. The forgiving extractor captures a series of pruned decision trees with monotonically decreasing precision, and monotonically increasing recall, and dynamically adjusts precision to guarantee sufficient recall. We have implemented our approach in a tool called TREEX and applied it to synthesize extractors for real-world large scale web sites. We evaluate the robustness and generality of the forgiving extractors by evaluating their precision and recall on: (i) different pages from sites in the training set (ii) pages from different versions of sites in the training set (iii) pages from different (unseen) sites. We compare the results of our synthesized extractor to those of classifier-based extractors, and pattern-based extractors, and show that TREEX significantly improves extraction accuracy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
