Robust Web Extraction: An Approach Based on a Probabilistic Tree-Edit Model

Summary: Proposes a probabilistic tree-edit model for HTML learned from web snapshots to track evolution with quadratic-time likelihood. A wrapper framework uses the model to build robust wrappers, outperforming traditional ones on synthetic and real data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
