webpagedump firefox extension

WebPageDump is a Firefox extension which allows you to save local copies of pages from the Web. It sounds simple, but it's not. The standard "Save page" function of web browsers fails with most web pages and also web site downloaders do not work in a satisfactory manner. This shortcomings were a serious problem for our research. A more in-depth description, the extension itself and some test datasets can be found at the WebPageDump homepage.

the redevila system

This is the project from my master's thesis. Beside a literature survey about doument and web page analysis I implemented a record detection system named REDEVILA (REcord DEtection on the VIsual LAyer). Similar to our VENTex approach I used the visual rendering of the DOM Tree as base for extracting the functional semantic out of web pages.
