IEEE IRI 16 - Clustering Web Pages based on Structure and Style SimilarityThamme Gowda
?
The structural similarity of HTML pages is measured by using Tree Edit Distance measure on DOM trees. The stylistic similarity is measured by using Jaccard similarity on CSS class names. An aggregated similarity measure is computed by combining structural and stylistic measures. A clustering method is then applied to this aggregated similarity measure to group the documents.
This document discusses biodiversity offsets and compensation in the context of palm oil production. It defines biodiversity offsets and compensation and outlines some of the technical and political challenges involved. It then presents some potential solutions for palm oil, including implementing a compensation scheme for past land clearing from 2005-2007 and moving towards achieving no net loss of biodiversity through offsets for future clearing from 2013 onwards. The document emphasizes the importance of landscape-level planning and stakeholder participation.
1. Biofuel policies aimed to promote biofuel production have unintentionally increased pressure on land use and distorted the balance between oilseed crops by favoring those with high oil content like oil palm.
2. The biofuel demand for vegetable oils independent of meal demand has tilted cultivation towards oil palm which has much higher oil yield and lower meal content than other oilseeds.
3. High palm oil prices driven by the link between vegetable oil and petroleum prices through biofuel use provide strong incentives for rapid expansion of oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia.
