Claim One:
1. A system for path-based ranking of unvisited Web pages for WWW crawler, comprising: a storer which stores all paths leading to visited web pages containing content relevant to a search as “good-path set” and all paths leading to unvisited web pages as “partial-path set”; a classifier and a labeler which classifies all the visited web pages and labels each web page with the labels of a class or classes it belongs to; a statistic modeler which trains a statistic model for generalizing the common patterns among all ones of “good-path set”; and an evaluator which evaluates the “partial-path set” with the statistic model to determine a similarity between the partial-path set and all ones of good-path set and ranks the unvisited web pages with the evaluation results, wherein the highest ranked unvisited web pages are those most likely to contain content relevant to the search.
