Patent ID: 8019708

Claim:
A method comprising: selecting, via a computing device, a first web graph; transforming, via the computing device, the first web graph into a first set of weighted features; transforming, via the computing device, the first set of weighted features into a first signature via a SimHash algorithm; selecting, via the computing device, a second web graph; transforming, via the computing device, the second web graph into a second set of weighted features; transforming, via the computing device, the second set of weighted features into a second signature via the SimHash algorithm; computing, via the computing device, the similarity between the first and second signatures; and initiating, via the computing device, web mapping based on the similarity between the first and second signatures, said web mapping comprises modifying parameters that govern web mapping, said modifying parameters comprises changing a frequency for a web crawl and changing a frequency with which web graphs are built from said web crawl.
