The BINGO! System for Information Portal Generation and Expert Web Search
Summary: BINGO! is a system-focused crawler that combines crawling, classifier-driven prioritization, link analysis and text filtering to build topic-specific information portals from user-provided training seeds instead of relying on precomputed indexes. Paper describes architecture, integration choices, empirical lessons and experiments showing improved effectiveness and efficiency for expert web search. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
