Finding web document associations using frequent pairs of adjacent words

Abstract

This paper presents an approach to find associations between Web documents using collocated word pairs. Given two Web documents which are connected via a hyperlink, we attempt to find the contextual association of these two Web pages by using collocations of word pairs from a statistical point of view. Our preliminary experimental results show that our approach is able to extract fairly coherent word pairs to derive associations between hyperlinked Web documents. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
