New ZeroPolar method uses link structure for accurate web page classification

Researchers have developed ZeroPolar, a novel method for zero-shot classification of web pages that leverages link structures to improve accuracy. Unlike previous methods that either ignore links or force pages into similar classes as their neighbors, ZeroPolar analyzes the "structural polarity" of links to determine how they should influence predictions. This approach allows for more accurate classification, even when labels are noisy or only available for a small fraction of pages. In experiments, ZeroPolar-T achieved the highest mean accuracy on eleven graphs, outperforming existing baselines. AI

IMPACT This method could improve the accuracy of automated web page classification by leveraging link structures, potentially benefiting search engines and content organization platforms.

    When Links Mislead: Label-Free Structural Polarity for Zero-Shot Classification of Web Pages

    arXiv:2610.41464v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Web platforms such as digital libraries, online stores and university sites must classify new pages before anyone labels them. Large language models (LLMs) can label each page from its text, but these labels are noisy, and links cou…
