This paper proposes PlusDBG to improve both precision and pseudo-recall by extending the conventional Web community extraction
scheme. Precision is defined as the percentage of relevant Web pages extracted as members of Web communities and pseudo-recall
is defined as the sum of the number of relevant Web pages extracted as members of Web communities. The proposed scheme adopts
the new distance parameter defined by the relevance between a Web page and a Web community, and extracts the Web community
with higher precision and pseudo-recall. Moreover, we have implemented and evaluated the proposed scheme. Our results confirm
that the proposed scheme is able to extract about 3.2-fold larger numbers of members of Web communities than the conventional
scheme, while maintaining equivalent precision.
