A Multi-strategy Recommendation Algorithm to Retrieve Broken Hyperlinks

Abstract

Broken hyperlinks are a growing problem on the Internet that affects all kinds of websites; especially as websites age and contain a reference to content that is no longer available, or has changed its location. This is a big problem as information from the Internet is being used in all kinds of academic, business and legal contexts. In this work, we present a multi-strategy recommendation algorithm to retrieve broken hyperlinks. As result, we show 72% accuracy in the retrieved hyperlinks by combining multiple strategies.
