Abstract— World Wide Web is developing rapidly, there are
large number of Web databases available for users to access.This
fast development of the World Wide Web has changed the way in
which information is managed and accessed. So the Web can
be divided into the Surface Web and the Deep Web. Surface Web
refers to the Web pages that are static and linked to other pages,
while Deep Web refers to the Web pages created dynamically as
the result of specific search. The Deep Web, i.e., content hidden
behind HTML forms, has long been acknowledged as a
significant gap in search engine coverage. Since it represents a
large portion of the structured data on the Web, accessing DeepWeb content has been a long-standing challenge for the database
community. So we are presenting two-stage crawler namely
efficient smart crawler for harvesting deep web interfaces. First
stage contain site based searching for center pages with the help
of search engines, it avoid to visit large number of pages and here
we apply reverse, k-mans and Naive Bayes algorithm to achieve
more accurate results for a focused crawl. It ranks the websites to
Prioritize highly relevant ones for a given topic. In the second
step, it searches fast in-site searching by extracting most relevant
links with an adaptive link-ranking.
Keywords---Deep web, Two stage crawler, Feature selection,
Ranking, Adaptive learning, Incremental site prioritizing, KNearest Neighbour.
Introduction
The deep web (Invisible web) are part of world wide wed
whose contents are not indexed by standard search engine
For any reason. The deep web database are not register with
any search engines are usually sparsely distributed and keep
constantly changing,so it is challenging to locate deep web
database. To address this problem to address this problem,
previous work has proposed two types of crawlers, generic
crawler and focused crawler. Generic crawlers fetch all
searchable forms and cannot focus on a specific topic. The
opposite term to deep web is surface web. The Surface Web
(also called the visible Web, Index able Web) is that portion of
World Wide Web that is readily available to general public
and searchable with standard web search engines.
A Crawler is a program that appointments web sites and reads
their pages and added information in order to generate entries
for a search engine index but drawback present with existing

crawlers are ”They are not deliver efficient harvesting wide
web interfaces”.The existing crawlers are as follows:
1. Google (Google Boot) – It uses Page Rank algorithm for
page ranking. Google search credibility can make relevancy
of results less natural.It is one stage crawler. In our system we
are going to we are going to use KNN algorithm that increase
the result relevancy compares to page rank algorithm.
2. Yahoo (Yahoo slurp)-It uses Selection based search page
ranking and optimization algorithm. It does not have book
search or desktop search features. We are going to use Reverse
search algorithm for extracting deep websites.
3. Bing (Bing Bot)-Use virtual robot for indexing and
Click through rate-page ranking Technical search results are
found to be weak compared to other search engines. Smart
crawler produce more efficient result related
to user query.
4. Ask Me- It uses Query transformation algorithm anyone can
edit them, and often they are inaccurate answers. We are going
to use AL algorithm able to accurately update and leverages
the collected information during crawling.
To overcome the disadvantages present with existing crawler
We are going to introduce new system that is” Efficient
crawler for gathering and exploring relevant sites from hidden
web ”The main aim behind this project is To efficiently and
effectively discover deep web data sources .For that we are
going to use different algorithms. In our system we are using
different algorithms first ”Reverse searching” When number
of sites in site frontier are less than threshold value then for
extracting
deep
web
sites

apply
this
algorithm.”Incremental site prioritizing “To continue the
crawling process and achieving large coverage on websites
this algorithm is used. “Adaptive learning “It used for
updating information collected positively during crawling
process.” K-NN algorithm” is being used for Classify the links
and the sites according to their relevance.
Proposed system
We are going to propose new system that is “Efficient crawler
for gathering and exploring relevant sites from hidden web.”
To overcome the disadvantage present with existing system. In
particular, a large part of the Web is hidden behind search
forms and is reachable only when users type in a set of
1
keywords, or queries, to the forms. These pages are frequently
referred to as the Hidden Web or the Deep Web ,because
search engines typically cannot index the pages and do not
return them in their results. Our system is focuses on
extracting content from the portion of the Web that is hidden
behind search forms in large searchable databases. We
propose a two-stage framework first stage is site locating and
second in site exploring. The first site locating stage finds the
most relevant site for a given topic, and then the second in-site
exploring stage uncovers searchable forms from the site.
Fig1: The two-stage architecture of Smart Crawler.
In our system we are using different algorithms first ”Reverse
searching” When number of sites in site frontier are less than
threshold value then for extracting deep web sites
System apply this algorithm.
”Incremental site prioritizing “To continue the crawling
process and achieving large coverage on websites this

”Adaptive learning “It used for updating information collected
positively during crawling process.
”K-NN algorithm” is being used for Classify the links and the
sites according
To their relevance
A.Reverse searching – Reverse searching algorithm is used to
find Center pages.input to this algorithm Seed sites and
harvested deep websites.We can obtain the output in the form
of Relevant Links.
A reverse search is triggered:
– When the crawler bootstraps.
– When the size of site frontier decreases to
pre-defined threshold.
B.Incremental site prioritizingTo make crawling process resumable and achieve broad
coverage on websites, an incremental site prioritizing strategy
is proposed. The idea is to record learned patterns of deep web
sites and form paths for incremental crawling.Use of this
algorithm is to make a crawling process resumable and

achieve board on web-site. Incremental Site Prioritizing (sites)
Input to this algorithm is site Frontier and we can obtain
output as Searchable forms and out-of-site links.
C. Adaptive learningSmart Crawler has an adaptive learning strategy that updates
and leverages information collected successfully during
crawling. Both Site Ranker and Link Ranker are controlled by
adaptive learners. Periodically, FSS and FSL are adaptively
updated to reflect new patterns found during crawling. As a
result, Site Ranker and Link Ranker are updated. Finally, Site
Ranker re-ranks sites in Site Frontier and Link Ranker updates
the relevance of links in Link Frontier.
D.KNNInput to this algorithm are Value of k and Value of new tuple
whose class is to be found. And Output as Class for new tuple.
Procedure
1. Enter the new items to which the class is to be assign.
2. Enter the value of k.
3. Calculate Euclidian distance for each of item
4. Arrange all items in ascending order of their Euclidian
distance.
5. Compare the first k items and find the class that occurs
maximum times.
6. Assign new class to the new item.
Calculation of distances:
To calculate the distance from new tuple to existing all tuples,
we can use the squared Euclidean proximity function.

– SR = Site Ranker.
SR = {sr1, sr2,…, srn}
Where, sr1, sr2,...,srn represent the no of ranked sites.
Rank(s) = ST(s)+SF(s)
ST(s) =site similarity

ST(s) = Sim (U, Us) +sim (A, As) +sim (T, Ts)
Where,Sim calculate the similarity between features of s.
Where Ii = 1 if s appeared in known deep web sites, otherwise
Ii = 0.
Finally, the rank of a new coming site s is a function of site
similarity
And site frequency, and we use a simple linear combination of
these two
Features:

CONCLUSION
Our experimental results on a set of representative domains
show the agility and accuracy of our proposed crawler
0framework, which efficiently retrieves hidden-web interfaces
from large-scale sites and acquire higher harvest rates than
other crawlers. Simply smart crawler is a program that accept
user query as input and provide most relevant sites as output to
user.”We have shown that our approach achieves both wide
coverage for deep web interfaces and maintains highly
efficient crawling. Our crawling system is domain-specific for
locating relevant deep web content sources.
