This invention describes a system that can automatically pull useful text from webpages, even those with interactive elements that change content. It works by using a special browser to run the webpage's code in a secure environment, then applying specific rules to strip out all the formatting and scripts, leaving only the plain text. This extracted text can then be analyzed to categorize its topics.
Why it matters: While the method for extracting dynamic web content remains relevant, the subsequent text analytics step has been transformed since 2013. Large Language Models (LLMs) can now generate structured topic categorizations and ontologies with far greater sophistication and adaptability, making the extracted plain text significantly more valuable.
