Web scraping is a technique to extract information from various web documents automatically. It retrieves the related contents based on the query, aggregates and transforms the data from an unstructured format into a structured representation. Text classification becomes a vital phase to summarize the data and in categorizing the webpages adequately. In this article, using effective web scraping methodologies, the data is initially extracted from websites, then transformed into a structured form. Based on the keywords from the data, the documents are classified and labeled. A recursive feature elimination technique is applied to the data to select the best candidate feature subset. The final data-set trained with standard machine learning algorithms. The proposed model performs well on classifying the documents from the extracted data with a better accuracy rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
