TL;DR
An inverse chi-square based web content classification system that works along with an incremental update mechanism for incremental generation of pornographic blacklist has been presented and has been empirically verified to be comparatively responsive to the growth dynamics of pornography sites than three public domain blacklists.
Abstract
This study presented an inverse chi-square based web content classification system that works along with an incremental update mechanism for incremental generation of pornographic blacklist. The proposed system, as indicated from the experimental results, can classify bilingual (English and Chinese) web pages at an average precision rate of 97.11%; while maintaining a favorably low false positive rate. Such satisfactory performance was obtained under a cost-effective parameter configuration used in inverse chi-square calculations. The proposed incremental update mechanism operates on the linking structure of pornographic hubs to locate newly added pornographic sites. The resulting blacklist has been empirically verified to be comparatively responsive to the growth dynamics of pornography sites than three public domain blacklists.

Experiments conducted on a testbed of 400 Web sites including 200 adult sites and 200 nonpornographic ones showed WebGuard's filtering effectiveness, and the basic framework of WebGuard can apply to other categorization problems of Web sites which combine, as most of them do today, textual and visual content.
