Abstract
This paper presents CUCWeb, a 166 million word corpus for Catalan built by crawling the Web. The corpus has been annotated with NLP tools and made available to language users through a flexible web interface. The developed architecture is quite general, so that it can be used to create corpora for other languages.

This paper proposes that some spam web pages can be identified through statistical analysis, and examines a variety of properties, including linkage structure, page content, and page evolution, and finds that outliers in the statistical distribution of these properties are highly likely to be caused by web spam.
