Data Study Group Final Report: NCSC

Abstract

Capturing the purpose of websites

This challenge was provided by the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which is tasked with protecting the UK public sector, and aims at improving existing internet search technologies.

As the internet grows, there is a need in industry, government and academia to better facilitate website recommendation, semantic search, and domain discovery, as well as to improve the security of the web. For instance, it is not possible to easily find all UK public sector domains with a simple search; nor it is possible for commercial organisations to easily generate a list of potential competitors or suppliers/customers from current search engines. An exciting potential approach to enable the NCSC and other organisations to leverage the latest machine learning algorithms on these challenges is to automatically learn a purposeful compact vector representation of every website or domain on the Web.
