文章背景与核心概要

网页内容提取是构建可靠的大语言模型(LLM)数据管道的核心环节。然而,传统方法长期面临准确性、可扩展性和自适应性之间的“不可能三角”困境:通用提取器泛化能力强但面对特定发布者布局时极为脆弱;直接基于LLM的提取方式灵活却在大规模应用时成本高昂、延迟明显;人工编写的定制解析器虽然精度高,但维护成本极其沉重。

为了解决这一痛点,本文提出了 PACE(Publisher-Adaptive Content Extraction via Agentic Automation)这一全新框架。它利用智能体技术,根据具有代表性的网页和用户需求自动学习特定发布者的提取配置。在训练阶段,PACE通过LLM分析页面结构并综合出可复用的提取模式;在推理阶段,学习到的配置将被实例化到固定且确定性的提取器模板中,从而在无需额外LLM调用的情况下实现高性能、可扩展的内容提取。

跨文章正文、元数据、图像以及表格的多项实验表明,PACE 的性能显著优于现有的可扩展非人工基线方法,并无限逼近人工定制解析器的质量。该研究证明了智能体配置学习能够有效实现LLM就绪页面表示的自动化发布者特定提取,极大扩展了自动化内容解析的边界。

PACE: Publisher-Adaptive Content Extraction via Agentic Automation

Summary

Summary

Web content extraction is a vital component of reliable Large Language Model (LLM) data pipelines. However, traditional approaches face a trilemma of balancing accuracy, scalability, and adaptability. General-purpose extractors are broad but brittle when dealing with specific publisher layouts or complex extraction targets (like metadata, images, and tables). Direct LLM-based extraction is flexible yet costly and slow at scale, while manually engineered parsers achieve high accuracy at the heavy expense of human maintenance.

This paper introduces PACE (Publisher-Adaptive Content Extraction via Agentic Automation), an agentic framework designed to learn publisher-specific extraction configurations from representative pages and user requirements: * Training Phase: Utilizes LLMs to analyze page structures and synthesize reusable extraction patterns. * Inference Phase: Instantiates learned configurations onto a fixed, deterministic extractor template, enabling high-performance, scalable extraction without requiring additional LLM calls.

Experiments across article bodies, metadata, images, and tables reveal that PACE significantly outperforms scalable non-manual baselines, closely approaching the quality of manually engineered publisher-specific parsers.

Abstract

Abstract

Web content extraction is essential for reliable LLM data pipelines, yet existing methods often struggle to jointly satisfy accuracy, scalability, and adaptability. General-purpose extractors can be applied broadly, but they are often brittle on publisher-specific layouts and richer extraction targets such as metadata, images, and tables. Direct LLM-based extraction offers greater flexibility, but incurs substantial cost and latency at scale, while manually engineered publisher-specific parsers can achieve high accuracy but require substantial human effort to build and maintain.

We introduce PACE, an agentic framework for learning publisher-specific extraction configurations from representative pages and user requirements. During training, PACE uses LLMs to analyze page structure and aggregate reusable extraction patterns. At inference time, the learned configurations instantiate a fixed deterministic extractor template, enabling scalable extraction without additional LLM calls.

Experiments spanning article-body, metadata, and multimodal extraction show that PACE outperforms scalable non-manual baselines while approaching the quality of manually engineered publisher-specific parsers. PACE achieves stronger extraction of article text, metadata, images, and tables, demonstrating that agentic configuration learning can automate publisher-specific extraction for LLM-ready page representations beyond article text.
