In this paper we present a novel approach for building a focused crawler. The goal of our crawler is to effectively identify web pages that relate to a set of pre-defined topics and download them regardless of their web topology or connectivity with other popular pages on the web. The main challenges that we address in our study are: (i) how to effectively identify the pages' topical content before these are fully downloaded and processed and (ii) how to obtain a well-balanced set of training examples that the crawler will regularly consult in its subsequent web visits.
