摘要:
Methods and apparatus for detecting distracting search engine results are described. In one embodiment, the method includes monitoring the behavior of a user with respect to a group of images that are related in some manner to a query, and using the monitored behavior to calculate the distractiveness of a particular image. The method also includes adding to a group of images related to a query a set of images that are unrelated to the query and monitoring the behavior of a user with respect to all the images.

The disclosed embodiments enable multi-stage query scoring, including “snippet” generation, through incremental document reconstruction facilitated by a multi-tiered mapping scheme. The mapping scheme includes a first mapping between unique tokens contained in a set of documents and unique global token identifiers (e.g., 32-bit integers) contained in a global-lexicon (i.e., dictionary). The mapping scheme also includes a second mapping between the global token identifiers and a set of fixed-length local token identifiers (e.g., 8-bit integers) contained in one or more mini-lexicons (i.e., sub-dictionaries). Each mini-lexicon is associated with a range of token positions in the tokenized documents. The first and second mappings are used to encode/decode documents into local token identifiers having fixed widths which can be compactly stored in the tokenspace repository. The use of fixed-length local token identifiers allows for fast and efficient decoding of tokenized documents.
摘要:
A search engine server system receives from a client system a search query and identifies a set of documents in accordance with the search query. A content snippet corresponding to content in a respective document of the identified set of documents is generated, the content snippet associated with at least one query term of the one or more query terms in the search query. A response to the search query is returned to the client system, the response including information identifying at least the respective document and including the content snippet. Generating the content snippet includes performing a first decompression operation on first token identifiers, from a compressed document repository, to provide a set of second token identifiers, and performing a second decompression operation on the set of second token identifiers to recover uncompressed content comprising a portion of the respective document.

摘要:
A system and method for encoding and decoding variable-length data includes storing data values in a data structure including a data field and a tag field. The data field includes one or more variable-length data subfields capable of storing variable-length data (e.g., 1 to N bytes of data). In some embodiments, the data subfields and the tag field of the data structure each start on a byte boundary which simplifies decoding. The tag field includes one or more tag subfields, each corresponding to the one or more data subfields. Each tag subfield includes one or more tag bits which indicate the length of the data stored in the corresponding data subfield. Unpacking or decompressing data values from the data structure can be achieved by using a look-up table of offsets and masks, thus reducing the number of bit operations needed to unpack data values from the data structure.

A computer-implemented method includes calculating first statistics about a user-identified event within a first subset of a database of events; selecting a second subset of the database of events based on said first statistics; calculating second statistics about the user-identified event within the second subset of the database of events; merging the first and second statistics as statistics of the user-identified event within the entire database of events; and generating a result including at least a portion of the merged statistics of the user-identified event.

摘要:
A multi-stage query processing system and method enables multi-stage query scoring, including “snippet” generation, through incremental document reconstruction facilitated by a multi-tiered mapping scheme. At one or more stages of a multi-stage query processing system a set of relevancy scores are used to select a subset of documents for presentation as an ordered list to a user. The set of relevancy scores can be derived in part from one or more sets of relevancy scores determined in prior stages of the multi-stage query processing system. In some embodiments, the multi-stage query processing system is capable of executing one or more passes on a user query, and using information from each pass to expand the user query for use in a subsequent pass to improve the relevancy of documents in the ordered list.
