For such extraction algorithms, we propose employing a lazy learning strategy to build a specialized model for each test instance to improve the extraction accuracy and avoid the disadvantages of constructing a single general model. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.EnglishExtraction accuracyExtraction algorithmsGeneral modelLazy learningOn-machinesTest instancesWeb information extractionAlgorithmsInformation retrievalIn praise of laziness: A lazy strategy for web information extractionConference Paper10.1007/978-3-642-28997-2_65
