Determining the titles of Web pages using anchor text and link analysis

Determining the titles of Web pages is an important element in characterizing and categorizing the vast number of Web pages. There are a few approaches to automatically determining the titles of Web pages. As an R&D project for Naver, the operator of Naver (Korea’s largest portal site), we developed a new method that makes use of anchor texts and analysis of links among Web pages. In this paper, we describe our method and show experiment results of its performance.
