A Comparison of 2 Step Classification with 3-Class Classification for Webpage Classification

The content over internet increasing significantly each year and the web page classification is an essential areas of work upon for web-based information management, content retrieval, data scrapping, content filtering, advertisement removal, contextual advertising, expanding web directories etc. Multiclass classification methods is more popular and commonly use to classify web pages, and 2 step classification is our proposed system. In 2 step classifier, we use 2 primary model which works serially and perform binary classification at each level. The primary source of dataset contain thousands of URL(Uniform Resource Locator) of web pages. The content on webpage is extracted and stored on system to avoid the loss of data sue to the change in URL. The comparison between the two methods validated the system improvement and improved in different metric such as precision and recall using 2 step classification technique. 2 step classification technique is faster while training and also shows performance improvement. There proposed system shows improvement in the performance of the results but not something significant.
