Extracting Structured Data from Web Pages

Summary: Unsupervised extraction of structured data from template-generated web pages by inferring the template and its encoding. An algorithm given multiple pages jointly learns the template and outputs extracted values; validated on large real page sets. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
