  7. A Picture of the Web Graph Rimpiazzare con definitiva [DelCorso, Gulli, Romani .. Work in Progress]

  8. The Web’s Characteristics • Size • Over a billion pages available • 5-10K per page => tens of terabytes • Size doubles every 2 years • Change • 23% change daily • Half life time of about 10 days • Poisson model for changes • Bowtie structure

  9. Page Repository Web Indexer Collection Analysis Queries Results Crawlers Query Engine Ranking Text Structure Utility Crawl Control Indexes Search Engine Structure

  10. Google: Scale • Number of pages indexed: 3B in November 2002 • Index refresh interval: Once per month ~ 1200 pages/sec • Number of queries per day: 200M in April 2003 ~ 2000 queries/sec • Runs on commodity Intel-Linux boxes [Cho, 02]

  11. Google:Other Statistics • Average page size: 10KB • Average query size: 40B • Average result size: 5KB • Average number of links per page: 10 • Total raw HTML data size 3G x 10KB = 30 TB! • Inverted index roughly the same size as raw corpus: 30 TB for index itself • With appropriate compression, 3:1 • 20 TB data residing in disk (and memory!!!)

  12. Google:Data Size and Crawling • Efficient crawl is very important • 1 page/sec  1200 machines just for crawling • Parallelization through thread/event queue necessary • Complex crawling algorithm -- No, No! • Well-optimized crawler • ~ 100 pages/sec (10 ms/page) • ~ 12 machines for crawling • Bandwidth consumption • 1200 x 10KB x 8bit ~ 100Mbps • One dedicated OC3 line (155Mbps) for crawling ~ $400,000 per year

  13. Google: Data Size, Query Processing • Index size: 10TB  100 disks • Typically less than 5 disks per machine • Potentially 20-machine cluster to answer a query • If one machine goes down, the cluster goes down • Two-tier index structure can be helpful • Tier 1: Popular (high PageRank) page index • Tier 2: Less popular page index • Most queries can be answered by tier-1 cluster (with fewer machines)

  14. Google: Implication of Query Load • 2000 queries / sec • Rule of thumb: 1 query / sec per CPU • Depends on number of disks, memory size, etc. • ~ 2000 machines just to answer queries • 5KB / answer page • 2000 x 5KB x 8bit ~ 80 Mbps • Half dedicated OC3 line (155Mbps) ~ $300,000

  15. Google: Query Load and Replication • Index replication necessary to handle the query load • Assuming 1TB tier-1 index, 100Mbit/sec transfer rate • 8bits x 1TB / 100MB = 80,000 sec • One day to refresh to a new index • Of course, need to verify the transferred data before using it…

  16. Google: Hardware • 50,000 Intel-Linux cluster • Assuming 99.9% uptime (8 hour downtime per year) • 50 machines are always down • Nightmare for system administrators • Assuming 3-year hardware replacement • Set up, replace and dump 50 machines every day • Heterogeneity is unavoidable

  17. ROADMAP • What we have seen so far • Web Graph • Search Engine Architecture • Google Overview • Next ? • We will focus onSPIDERING

  18. Crawling web pages • What pages to download • When to refresh • Minimize load on web sites • How to parallelize the process

  20. Crawler “cycle of life” Downloaders: while(<ci sono url assegnate dai crawler manager>){ <estrai le url dalla coda di assegnamento> <scarica le pagine piassociate alla url dalla rete> <invia le pi al page repository> } Link Extractor: while(<ci sono pagine da cui estrarre i link>){ <prendi una pagina p dal page repository> <estrai i link contenuti nel tag a href> <estrai i link contenuti in javascript> <estrai ….. <estrai i link contenuti nei frameset> <inserisci i link estratti nella priority que, ciascuna con una priorità dipendente dalla politica scelta e: 1) compatibilmente ai filtri applicati 2) applicando le operazioni di normalizzazione> <marca p come pagina da cui abbiamo estratto i link> } Crawler Manager: <estrai un bunch di url dalla “priority que” in ordine> while(<ci sono url assegnate dai crawler manager>){ <estrai le URL ed assegnale ad S> foreach u  S { if ( (u  “Already Seen Page” ) || ( u  “Already Seen Page” && (<sul Web server la pagina è più recente> ) && ( <u è un url accettata dal robot.txt del sito>) ) { <risolvi u rispetto al DNS> <invia u ai downloaders, in coda> } }

  22. Page selection • Crawler method for choosing page to download • Given a page P, define how “good” that page is. • Several metric types: • Interest driven • Popularity driven • BFS, DFS, Random • Combined

  23. Interest Driven • Define a driving query Q • Find textual similarity between P and Q • Define a word vocabulary W1…Wn • Define a vector for P and Q: • Vp, Vq = <W1,…,Wn> • Wi = 0 if Wi does not appear in the document • Wi = Inverse document frequency otherwise • IDF(Wi) = 1 / number of appearances in the entire collection • Importance: IS(P) = P * Q (cosine product) • Finding IDF requires going over the entire web • Estimate IDF by pages already visited, to calculate IS’

  24. Popularity Driven • How popular a page is: • Backlink count • IB(P) – the number of pages containing a link to P • Estimat by pervious crawls: IB’(P) • More sophisticated metric, called PageRank

  25. BFS • “…breadth-first search order discovers the highest quality pages during the early stages of the crawl BFS” 328 milioni di URL nel testbed [Najork 01]

  26. WebBase Results [Cho 01]

  27. Refresh Strategy • Crawlers can refresh only a certain amount of pages in a period of time. • The page download resource can be allocated in many ways • The proportional refresh policy allocated the resource proportionally to the pages’ change rate.

  28. Focused Crawling • Focused Crawler: selectively seeks out pages that are relevant to a pre-defined set of topics. • Topics specified by using exemplary documents (not keywords) • Crawl most relevant links • Ignore irrelevant parts. • Leads to significant savings in hardware and network resources.

  29. Focused Crawling • il teorema di Bayes stima la probabilità condizionale che si verifichi l’evento Hi in presenza dell’evento E: • Pr[documento rilevante | il termine t è presente] • Pr[documento irrilevante | il termine t è presente] • Pr[termine t sia presente | il doc sia rilevante] • Pr[termine t sia presente | il doc sia irrilevante]

  30. Parallel Crawlers • Web is too big to be crawled by a single crawler, work should be divided • Independent assignment • Each crawler starts with its own set of URLs • Follows links without consulting other crawlers • Reduces communication overhead • Some overlap is unavoidable

  31. Parallel Crawlers • Dynamic assignment • Central coordinator divides web into partitions • Crawlers crawl their assigned partition • Links to other URLs are given to Central coordinator • Static assignment • Web is partitioned and divided to each crawler • Crawler only crawls its part of the web

  32. URL-Seen Problem • Need to check if file has been parsed or downloaded before - after 20 million pages, we have “seen” over 100 million URLs - each URL is 50 to 75 bytes on average • Options: compress URLs in main memory, or use disk - Bloom Filter (Archive) - disk access with caching (Mercator, Altavista)

  33. An example of crawler Polybot • crawl of 120 million pages over 19 days 161 million HTTP request 16 million robots.txt requests 138 million successful non-robots requests 17 million HTTP errors (401, 403, 404 etc) 121 million pages retrieved • slow during day, fast at night • peak about 300 pages/s over T3 • many downtimes due to attacks, crashes, revisions • http://cis.poly.edu/polybot/ [Suel 02]

  34. Pagina Web e Documento Virtuale bush White House Indicizzare ciò che non si è raccolto • Supponiamo di non avere raggiunto la pagina P “whitehouse.org”, ma di avere già raggiunto ed indicizzato un insieme di pagine {P1….Pr} che puntano P • Supponiamo di estrarre dal link che da ciascun Pi, 1<i<r, punta P una finestra di testo. • …George Bush, President of U.S. lives at <a href=http://www.whitehouse.org> WhiteHouse</a> • … George Washington was at <a href=http://whitehouse.org> WhiteHouse</a> ES: Madonna On Google Washington

  35. Examples: Open Source • Nutch, also used by Overture • http://www.nutch.org • Hentrix, used by Archive.org • http://archive-crawler.sourceforge.net/index.html

  36. What we have seen so far • Web Graph • Search Engine Architecture • Google Overview • Spidering • Next ? • We will focus on INDEX DATA STRUCTURE

  37. The Indexer Module Creates Two indexes : • Text (content) index : Uses “Traditional” indexing methods like Inverted Indexing. • Structure(Links( index : Uses a directed graph of pages and links. Sometimes also creates an inverted graph.

  38. Text Inverted Index • A Set of inverted lists, one per each index term (word). • Inverted list of a term: A sorted list of locations in which the term appeared. • Posting : A pair (w,l) where w is word and l is one of its locations. • Lexicon : Holds all index’s terms with statistics about the term (not the posting)

  39. Word IDF Document TF 1/3530 Stanford D1 2 Lexicon Postingslist 1/9860 UCLA D14 30 1/937 8 MIT D376 … (TF may be normalized by document size) Text Inverted Index • Google sorts more than 100 B terms in its index.

  40. Google 98: Text Inverted Index Lexicon: fin in memory two different forms Hit list: account for most space use 2 bytes to save space Forward index: barrels are sorted by wordID. Inside barrel, sorted by docID Inverted Index: some content as the forward index, but sorted by wordID. doc list is sorted by docID

  41. Google 98: Text Inverted Index • Each docID is associated with a list of hits - these describe the verbal information in a page. • “Hand” optimized compact encoding • Plain Hits • word occurrences in the main page • relative font size, position(12 bits), capitalization • Fancy Hits • URL, title, anchor, META-tag • denoted by font size setting • plain’s 12 position bits used differently • 4 bits for the type of fancy hits

  42. Google 98: Text Inverted Index • Minimise disk seek bottlenecks • Repository • contains full HTML for each crawled page • time favoured over space for the compression algorithm • Document Index • holds document ids for all crawled and uncrawled URLs • feeds uncrawled URLS to the URL Server • batch conversion of URLS into DOCIDs to minimize disk seeks

  43. Text Index Partitioning A distributed text indexing can be done by : • Local inverted file(IFL) • Each nodes contain disjoint random pages. • Query is broadcasted. • Result is the joined query answers. • Global inverted file (IFG) • Each node is responsible only for a subset of terms in the collection. • Query sent only to the apropriate node BETTER??

  44. #Outbound link #Inbound link Inbound pages … … … … … Page 0 1 2 3 . . . 4 n Link Index (Web Graph) 2 1 0 3 4

  45. Challenges • Index build must be : • Fast • Economic (unlike traditional index buildings) • Incremental Indexing must be supported • Storage : compression vs. speed

  46. Indexing, Conclusion • Web pages indexing is complicated due to it’s scale (millions of pages, hundreds of gigabytes). • Challenges : Incremental indexing and personalization.

  47. ROADMAP • What we have seen so far • Web Graph • Search Engine Architecture • Google Overview • Spidering • Index Data Structure • Next ? • We will focus on Ranking & Social Networks

  48. Traditional Ranking Faults • Many pages containing a term may be of poor quality or not relevant. • TFIDF (Term frequency inverse document frequency) vector and cosine similarity • Insufficient self description vs. spamming. • Not using link analysis.

  49. Traditional Ranking Faults • TF (Term frequency): number of times that a word occurs in a document • IDF (Inverse document frequency): inverse of the number of documents containing the word

  50. Search engine e.g., using: tf*idf formula Vector Space Model Ranking by descending relevance Similarity metric: Query (Set of weighted features) Documents are feature vectors
