Ontology-based blog discovery and classification

Blog is a new media emerging on the Internet representing a new source of information. However, the huge number of blogs, the noisy content, as well as the high dynamic nature preventing many existing techniques to be applied to blogs directly. In this project we research on the techniques for organ...
