Abstract
Methods and Systems for automatic information extraction by performing self-learning crawling and rule-based data mining is provided. The method determines existence of crawl policy within input information and performs at least one of front-end crawling, assisted crawling and recursive crawling. Downloaded data set is pre-processed to remove noisy data and subjected to classification rules and decision tree based data mining to extract meaningful information. Performing crawling techniques leads to smaller relevant datasets pertaining to a specific domain from multi-dimensional datasets available in online and offline sources.
