Learning Association Rules and Tracking the Changing Concepts on Webpages:An Effective Pornographic Websites Filtering Approach

摘要

We applied the decision tree algorithm to learn association rules between webpage's category (pornographic or normal) and the critical features. Based on these rules, we proposed an efficient method of filtering pornographic webpages with the following major advantages: 1) a weighted window-based technique was proposed to estimate for the condition of concept drift for the keywords found recently in pornographic webpages; 2) checking only contexts of webpages without scanning pictures; 3) an incremental learning mechanism was designed to incrementally update the pornographic keyword database.
