Abstract
When looking for an activity in a bar or trying to find a good movie it often seems
difficult to find complete and correct information about the event. Hyperleap tries
to solve this problem of bad information giving by bundling the information from
various sources and invest in good quality checking. Currently information retrieval
is performed using site-specific crawlers, when a crawler breaks the feedback loop
for fixing it contains different steps and requires someone with a computer science
background. A crawler generation system has been created that uses directed acyclic
word graphs to assist solving the feedback loop problem. The system allows users with
no particular computer science background to create, edit and test crawlers for RSS
feeds. In this way the feedback loop for broken crawlers is shortened, new sources can
be incorporated in the database quicker and, most importantly, the information about
the latest movie show, theater production or conference will reach the people looking
for it as fast as possible.
