%0 Journal Article %T AN EFFICIENT APPROACH FOR KEYWORD SELECTION; IMPROVING ACCESSIBILITY OF WEB CONTENTS BY GENERAL SEARCH ENGINES %A H. H. Kian %A M. Zahedi %J International Journal of Web & Semantic Technology %D 2011 %I Academy & Industry Research Collaboration Center (AIRCC) %X General search engines often provide low precise results even for detailed queries. So there is a vital needto elicit useful information like keywords for search engines to provide acceptable results for user¡¯s searchqueries. Although many methods have been proposed to show how to extract keywords automatically, allattempt to get a better recall, precision and other criteria which describe how the method has done its jobas an author. This paper presents a new automatic keyword extraction method which improves accessibilityof web content by search engines. The proposed method defines some coefficients determining featuresefficiency and tries to optimize them by using a genetic algorithm. Furthermore, it evaluates candidatekeywords by a function that utilizes the result of search engines. When comparing to the other methods,experiments demonstrate that by using the proposed method, a higher score is achieved from searchengines without losing noticeable recall or precision. %K Automatic keyword extraction %K search engine %K genetic algorithm %K web contents accessibility %K Farsi stopwords %U http://airccse.org/journal/ijwest/papers/2411ijwest06.pdf
