Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of topic distillation on the World Wide Web, namely, given a typical user query to find quality documents related to the query topic.Connectivity analysis has been shown to be useful in identifying high quality pages within a topic specific graph of hyperlinked documents.The essence of our approach is to augment a previous connectivity analysis based algorithm with content analysis.We identify three problems with the existing approach and devise algorithms to tackle them.The results of a user evaluation are reported that show an improvement of precision at 10 documents by at least 45% over pure connectivity analysis.
