Abstract - Internet is a huge repository of web pages
and incremental two-level site prioritizing functionality for unearthing relevant sites, achieving more data sources. Adaptive learning is used for online feature selection which are in turn used for constructing link rankers. In the site locating stage, closely relevant sites are prioritized and the crawling focuses on a topic using the contents of the home page of sites, returning highly accurate results. During the in site exploring stage, relevant links are prioritized for fast insite searching. This two-stage crawler is a domain specific crawler which classifies the sites in first stage to remove irrelevant websites but also categorizes the searchable forms. The first stage finds a most relevant site for a given topic and the discovers searchable from this site. The whole crawling process starts with a set of candidate sites called seed sites. After a certain threshold, the Smart Crawler performs ’Reverse Searching’ process wherein the pages are sent back to the URL database. These are in turn prioritized by the Site Ranker which makes use of the Adaptive Learning technique i.e. to adaptively learn from the features of deep websites. For a given topic, the Site Classifier categorizes URLs as relevant or irrelevant based on the homepage content. Once the most relevant site is obtained in the site locating stage, the second stage does efficient in-site exploration for filtering searchable forms. Links of a site are stored in Link Frontier and respective pages are returned and forms are classed by Form Classifier to locate searchable forms. The classifier used for the above purpose is Naive Bayes classifier. Through various studies and research, results have been proved that when results of Naive Bayes are combined with SVM classifier, better results are obtained. To prioritize links, SmartCrawler ranks them with Link Ranker. Note that site locating stage and in-site exploring stage are mutually dependent on each other. When the crawler discovers a new site, the sites URL is inserted into the Site Database. The Link Ranker’s performance is enhanced by an Adaptive Link Learner, which studies the URL path leading to relevant forms.
housing tons of information on various sections of human development and implementation. The dark web refers to that part of Internet where the conventional search engines cannot reach as it cannot be indexed. the huge size of this Internet is itself a hindrance in retrieving efficient and relevant information this is the reason there is a need of a good search engine to bring information as relevant as possible to the user. One of the important and crucial process of searching relevant content is web crawling. A web crawler is a buffer that digs the Internet to gather and create a temporary database to further analyze and arrange data. This project is all about designing an efficient Web Crawler that not only crawls the World Wide Web but also focuses on the topic relevant content. The two stage architecture involves site based searching for home pages, prioritize relevant ones for a topic, second stage involves Insite exploring and adaptive link ranking. The efficiency of a crawler depends on the classification of web pages at the first place before ranking them. Naive Bayes Classifier is used in this paper. Efforts are made to improve this classification process by combining the results of NB and SVM classifier. Research has proved that his combination, popularly known as the NBSVM classifier does yield better results.
Key Words: Dark/Deep web, two-stage crawler, feature selection, adaptive learning, etc… 1. INTRODUCTION Hidden/deep web cannot be indexed by conventional search engines, this hidden web comprises of content which is 500- 550 times larger than the surface web [3], [4], which houses huge amount of valuable information. Keeping this in mind there is a need of an accurate and quick crawler to dig out the hidden web and extract relevant information. It is a challenge to find relevant content in deep web, this challenge is overcome by the design of a Smart Crawler. Along with the efficiency it is a great challenge for quality and coverage on relevant deep web sources. Thus, a good crawler should return large amount of high-quality results from the most relevant source. As it is found that deep website have less searchable forms, we have designed the crawler in two stages. Site locating stage helps to get wide coverage of sites for a focused crawler, and the in-site exploring stage efficiently searches for web forms within a site. Site locating functionality involves a reverse searching process

1.1 REVIEW OF LITERATURE Various papers and sources are studied to perform a thorough literature review. There are basically two types of crawlers: Focused Crawlers and Generic Crawlers, Generic crawlers are mainly developed for featuring deep web and directory construction of deep web resources, that do not limit search on a specific topic, but attempt to fetch all searchable forms [1], [2]. Focused crawler is developed to traverse links to pages of interest and avoid
