Making Recommendations from Web Archives for "Lost" Web Pages

When a user requests a web page from a web archive, the user will typically either get an HTTP 200 if the page is available, or an HTTP 404 if the web page has not been archived. This is because web archives are typically accessed by URI lookup, and the response is binary: the archive either has the page or it does not, and the user will not know of other archived web pages that exist and are potentially similar to the requested web page. In this paper, we propose augmenting these binary responses with a model for selecting and ranking recommended web pages in a Web archive. This is to enhance both HTTP 404 responses and HTTP 200 responses by surfacing web pages in the archive that the user may not know existed. First, we check if the URI is already classified in DMOZ or Wikipedia. If the requested URI is not found, we use ML to classify the URI using DMOZ as our ontology and collect candidate URIs to recommended to the user. Next, we filter the candidates based on if they are present in the archive. Finally, we rank candidates based on several features, such as archival quality, web page popularity, temporal similarity, and URI similarity. We calculated the F1 score for different methods of classifying the requested web page at the first level. We found that using all-grams from the URI after removing numerals and the TLD produced the best result with F1=0.59. For second-level classification, the micro-average F1=0.30. We found that 44.89% of the correctly classified URIs contained at least one word that exists in a dictionary and 50.07% of the correctly classified URIs contained long strings in the domain. In comparison with the URIs from our Wayback access logs, only 5.39% of those URIs contained only words from a dictionary, and 26.74% contained at least one word from a dictionary. These percentages are low and may affect the ability for the requested URI to be correctly classified.
