processes
Key
Academic
Projects
• Relational Web
(Sep’10-Nov’10)
Guide: Prof. S. Sudarshan (IIT Bombay)
Developed an application software that extracts relational tables from the web, classifies
them and creates an extensive database
Implemented a SVM classifier model to classify tables by learning weights of different features
Implemented a User Interface to make search queries on existing database & add new categories
with their URLs to crawl
A user could also choose to create a database for a specific domain/category providing very
domain specific search results just like Imdb or Amazon database search
