Resumo


Extração de informações em páginas da Web é uma tarefa importante que visa facilitar a criação de bases de conhecimento. Levando em consideração que uma página Web é desenvolvida para ser agradável à utilização do usuário, porém é renderizada a partir de uma árvore HTML DOM, identificar e extrair suas informações ainda é um grande desafio. Para superar este desafio, este trabalho propõem uma abordagem que utilizará as informações da árvore DOM em conjunto com as informações visuais extraídas em forma de metadados dos elementos HTML da página para classificar e extrair os conteúdos relevantes de uma página Web. Para isso, será criado um modelo textual que representará a identidade visual do elemento da página, a fim de emular o contexto visual dos elementos e sua hierarquia na página, sem a necessidade de renderização da página por um navegador, para a extração das informações. Para a classificação dos elementos, será utilizado o modelo de linguagem bidirecional ELMo para contextualizar e identificar as características individuais de cada tipo de elemento.
Palavras-chave: semi-structured web extraction, web information extraction
