US 2018/0007090 A1 · CLASSIFICATION OF TOP-LEVEL DOMAIN (TLD) WEBSITES BASED ON A KNOWN WEBSITE CLASSIFICATION

Abstract

Systems and methods for classification of web sites and/or their corresponding URLs based on a known web site classification are provided. According to one embodiment, a website URL is received that is known to be associated with a particular content classification. A list of candidate domain names including a host name of the website URL is generated based on a defined TLD list. For each of the candidate domain names it is determined whether an IP address of the candidate domain name is equal to an IP address of the website URL. When the result is affirmative, the particular content classification is associated with the candidate domain name; otherwise, a cosine similarity measurement process is performed between information associated with the candidate domain name and information associated with the website URL to determine whether to associate the particular content classification with the candidate domain name.

Dependent claims

A method comprising:

receiving, by a computer system, a website Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that is known to be associated with a particular content classification;
generating, by the computer system, a list of candidate domain names, each including a host name of the website URL and a different top-level domain (TLD) extension based on a predefined TLD list;
determining, by the computer system, for each of the candidate domain names in the list of candidate domain names, whether an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the candidate domain name is equal to an IP address of the website URL;
when a result of said determining is affirmative, then associating the particular content classification with the candidate domain name;
and
when the result is negative, then performing a cosine similarity measurement process between information associated with the candidate domain name and information associated with the website URL to determine whether to associate the particular content classification with the candidate domain name.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium embodying a set of instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of one or more computer systems, causes the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

receiving a website Uniform Resource Locator (URL) that is known to be associated with a particular content classification;
generating a list of candidate domain names, each including a host name of the website URL and a different top-level domain (TLD) extension based on a predefined TLD list;
determining for each of the candidate domain names in the list of candidate domain names whether an IP address of the candidate domain name is equal to an Internet Protocol (IP) address of the website URL;
when a result of said determining is affirmative, then associating the particular content classification with the candidate domain name;
and
when the result is negative, then performing a cosine similarity measurement process between information associated with the candidate domain name and information associate with the website URL to determine whether to associate the particular content classification with the candidate domain name.
