Abstract

This paper presents a fuzzy Web site evaluator. It extracts personality and emotion cues from textual analysis in a thesaurus. User-provided weights characterize semantic fuzzy grades in the thesaurus. Textual information is extracted from Web pages´ titles, section headings and full-text contents, in order of decreasing importance. Colors of images in Web pages are also treated and related to both personality and emotion. The output consists of bar diagrams summarizing the personality and emotional content of the specified Web sites.
