Web Template Clustering
With the boom in the IT industry, usage of WWW has made a blast on the internet. With more businesses coming online each day, the consumption of web pages by users is also rising. Let’s check the history of our cell phone. In a day most of the time we spend on apps are majorly to chat/socialize or compare various products on eCommerce websites.
eCommerce today is the undisputed driver for growth in the retail industry, with the number of pages on some merchants’ sites reaching over a million. Although the number of various web pages increase exponentially on these websites with each passing unit of time, the underlying pages actually made by a front-end engineer are very limited. It’s just that different data is being put forward in those once-designed web pages from the database and shown to the user once demanded.
These once-designed pages are what are known as Web Templates and are core of some businesses who sell such templates even. From a Data Scientist perspective where data is all that’s required to learn patterns, draw analysis and compare-n-contrast between different products, the code/structure populated by these templates is redundant and like Noise for them to learn.
