  text: "This paper addresses the problem of topic distillation on the World Wide
    Web, namely, given a typical user query to find quality documents related to the
    query topic. Connectivity analysis has been shown to be useful in identifying
    high quality pages within a topic specific graph of hyperlinked documents. The
    essence of our approach is to augment a previous connectivity analysis based algorithm
    with content analysis. We identify three problems with the existing approach and
    devise algorithms to tackle them. The results of a user evaluation are reported
    that show an improvement of precision at 10\r\ndocuments by at least 45% over
    pure connectivity analysis. "
