Nutch中网页更新预测研究与优化

Nutch的网页更新预测方法采用的是邻比法,相关更新参数需要人为设定,不能自适应调整,无法应对海量网页更新的差异性.为解决这个问题,提出动态选择策略对Nutch的网页更新预测方法进行改进.该策略在网页更新历史数据不足时,通过基于MapReduce的DBSCAN聚类算法来减少爬虫系统抓取网页数量,将样本网页的更新周期作为所属类其他网页的更新周期;在网页更新历史数据较多时,通过对网页更新历史数据进行泊松过程建模,较准确地预测每个网页的更新周期.最后在Hadoop分布式平台下对改进该策略测试.实验结果表明,优化后的网页更新预测方法表现更优.

TST: Threshold Based Similarity Transitivity Method in Collaborative Filtering with Cloud Computing

Collaborative filtering solves information overload problem by presenting personalized content to individual users based on their interests, which has been extensively applied in real-world recommender systems. As a class of simple but efficient collaborative filtering method, similarity based approaches make predictions by finding users with similar taste or items that have been similarly chosen. However, as the number of users or items grows rapidly, the traditional approach is suffering from the data sparsity problem. Inaccurate similarities derived from the sparse user-item associations would generate the inaccurate neighborhood for each user or item. Consequently, its poor recommendation drives us to propose a Threshold based Similarity Transitivity (TST) method in this paper. TST firstly filters out those inaccurate similarities by setting an intersection threshold and then replaces them with the transitivity similarity. Besides, the TST method is designed to be scalable with MapReduce framework based on cloud computing platform. We evaluate our algorithm on the public data set MovieLens and a real-world data set from AppChina (an Android application market) with several well-known metrics including precision, recall, coverage, and popularity. The experimental results demonstrate that TST copes well with the tradeoff between quality and quantity of similarity by setting an appropriate threshold. Moreover, we can experimentally find the optimal threshold which will be smaller as the data set becomes sparser. The experimental results also show that TST significantly outperforms the traditional approach even when the data becomes sparser.
