Machine learning is comprised of supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning as the type of data and processing mechanism. In this paper, as input and output are unclear and it is difficult to apply the concrete modeling mathematically, reinforcement learning method are applied for crawling robot in this paper. Especially, Q-Learning is the most effective learning technique in model free reinforcement learning. This paper presents a method to implement a crawling robot that is operated by finding the most optimal crawling method through trial and error in a dynamic environment using a Q-learning algorithm. The goal is to perform reinforcement learning to find the optimal two motor angle for the best performance, and finally to maintain the most mature and stable motion about EV3 Crawling robot. In this paper, for the production of the crawling robot, it was produced using Lego Mindstorms with two motors, an ultrasonic sensor, a brick and switches, and EV3 Classroom SW are used for this implementation. By repeating 3 times learning, total 60 data are acquired, and two motor angles vs. crawling distance graph are plotted for the more understanding. Applying the Q-learning reinforcement learning algorithm, it was confirmed that the crawling robot found the optimal motor angle and operated with trained learning, and learn to know the direction for the future research.

Today, with the spread of smartphones and the development of social networking services, structured and unstructured big data have stored exponentially. If we analyze them well, we will get useful information to be able to predict data for the future. Large amounts of data need to be collected first in order to analyze big data. The web is repository where these data are most stored. However, because the data size is large, there are also many data that have information that is not needed as much as there are data that have useful information. This has made it important to collect data efficiently, where data with unnecessary information is filtered and only collected data with useful information. Web crawlers cannot download all pages due to some constraints such as network bandwidth, operational time, and data storage. This is why we should avoid visiting many pages that are not relevant to what we want and download only important pages as soon as possible. This paper seeks to help resolve the above issues. First, We introduce basic web-crawling algorithms. For each algorithm, the time-complexity and pros and cons are described, and compared and analyzed. Next, we introduce the state-of-the-art web crawling algorithms that have improved the shortcomings of the basic web crawling algorithms. In addition, recent research trends show that the web crawling algorithms with special purposes such as collecting sentiment words are actively studied. We will one of the introduce Sentiment-aware web crawling techniques that is a proactive web crawling technique as a study of web crawling algorithms with special purpose. The result showed that the larger the data are, the higher the performance is and the more space is saved.

In this paper, a web page that is easy for consumers to access event products in progress at convenience stores was created. In the production process, static crawling and dynamic crawling, two crawling methods for extracting data from event products, were compared and used. Static crawling is an extraction method of collecting static data from a homepage, and dynamic crawling is a method of collecting data from pages dynamically generated from a web page. Through the comparison of the two crawlings, we studied which crawl method is more effective in extracting event product data. Among them, a web page was created using effective static crawling, and 1+1 and 2+1 products were categorized and a search function was added to create a web page.

Various websites have been created due to the increased use of the Internet, and the number of documents distributed through these websites has increased proportionally. However, it is not easy to collect newly updated documents rapidly. Web crawling methods have been used to continuously collect and manage new documents, whereas existing crawling systems applying a single node demonstrate limited performances. Furthermore, crawlers applying distribution methods exhibit a problem related to effective node management for crawling. This study proposes an efficient distributed crawler through stepwise crawling node allocation, which identifies websites' properties and establishes crawling policies based on the properties identified to collect a large number of documents from multiple websites. The proposed crawler can calculate the number of documents included in a website, compare data collection time and the amount of data collected based on the number of nodes allocated to a specific website by repeatedly visiting the website, and automatically allocate the optimal number of nodes to each website for crawling. An experiment is conducted where the proposed and single-node methods are applied to 12 different websites; the experimental result indicates that the proposed crawler's data collection time decreased significantly compared with that of a single node crawler. This result is obtained because the proposed crawler applied data collection policies according to websites. Besides, it is confirmed that the work rate of the proposed model increased.

Real-time systems using web cralwing data must provide users with data from the same database as remote data. To do this, the web crawler repeatedly sends HTTP(HtypeText Transfer Protocol) requests to the remote server to see if the remote data has changed. This process causes network load on the crawling server and remote server, causing problems such as excessive traffic generation. To solve this problem, in this paper, based on user events, we propose a real-time web crawling technique that can reduce the overload of the network while securing the reliability of maintaining the sameness between the data of the crawling server and data from multiple remote locations. The proposed method performs a crawling process based on an event that requests unit data and list data. The results show that the proposed method can reduce the overhead of network traffic in existing web crawlers and secure data reliability. In the future, research on the convergence of event-based crawling and time-based crawling is required.

Effective recommendation of similar business groups is a critical factor in obtaining market information for companies. In this study, we propose a novel method for enhancing similar business group recommendation by incorporating derivative criteria and web crawling. We use employment announcements, employment incentives, and corporate vocational training information to derive additional criteria for similar business group selection. Web crawling is employed to collect data related to the derived criteria from 'credit jobs' and 'worknet' sites. We compare the efficiency of different datasets and machine learning methods, including XGBoost, LGBM, Adaboost, Linear Regression, K-NN, and SVM. The proposed model extracts derivatives that reflect the financial and scale characteristics of the company, which are then incorporated into a new set of recommendation criteria. Similar business groups are selected using a Euclidean distance-based model. Our experimental results show that the proposed method improves the accuracy of similar business group recommendation. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of incorporating derivative criteria and web crawling to enhance similar business group recommendation and obtain market information more efficiently.

This paper presents the implementation of a personalized real-time information-providing application utilizing filtering and web crawling technologies. The implemented application performs web crawling based on the user-set keywords within web pages, using the Jsoup library as a basis for the selected keywords. The crawled data is then stored in a MySQL database. The stored data is presented to the user through an application implemented using Flutter. Additionally, mobile push notifications are provided using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Through these methods, users can efficiently obtain the desired information quickly. Furthermore, there is an expectation that this approach can be applied to the Internet of Things (IoT) where big data is generated, allowing users to receive only the information they need.

Web crawler should maintain fresh data with minimum server overhead for large amount of data in the web sites. The overhead in the server increases rapidly as the amount of data is exploding as in the big data era. The amount of web information is increasing rapidly with advanced wireless networks and emergence of diverse smart devices. Furthermore, the information is continuously being produced and updated in anywhere and anytime by means of easy web platforms, and smart devices. Now, it is becoming a hot issue how frequently updated web data has to be refreshed in data collection and integration. In this paper, we propose dynamic web-data crawling methods, which include sensitive checking of web site changes, and dynamic retrieving of web pages from target web sites based on historical update patterns. Furthermore, we implemented a Java-based web crawling application and compared efficiency between conventional static approaches and our dynamic one. Our experiment results showed 46.2% overhead benefits with more fresh data compared to the static crawling methods.
