| Description | This paper introduces a new method for fast prototyping of web page categorization tool based on Random Forests. The result of this work is three-fold. We describe a fast feature extraction method first. Afterwards, we introduce a system that enables a user to perform experiments manually and visualize the results via visual analytics module. The last part of this work concerns a way how to perform experiments efficiently. It is partially inspired by landmarking that allows limiting the number of experiments. This method has been used for building a new commercial system for web categorization that significantly outperforms the system already being used. |
