    摘要: The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate extraction of information from a large unstructured corpora such as from the World Wide Web and/or other unstructured sources. Information in the form of answers to questions can be automatically composed from such sources via probabilistic models and cost-benefit analyses to guide resource-intensive information-extraction procedures employed by a knowledge-based question answering system. The analyses can leverage predictions of the ultimate quality of answers generated by the system provided by Bayesian or other statistical models. Such predictions, when coupled with a utility model can provide the system with the ability to make decisions about the number of queries issued to a search engine (or engines), given the cost of queries and the expected value of query results in refining an ultimate answer. Given a preference model, information extraction actions can be taken with the highest expected utility. In this manner, the accuracy of answers to questions can be balanced with the cost of information extraction and analysis to compose the answers.

    摘要: A system that incorporates a user context into a computer-based search is provided. To establish the context, the innovation can identify information about a user state or context via a variety of sources and sensors. The state/context information can be used to filter, arrange and/or rank search results so as to facilitate converging on meaningful searches and results. Machine learning systems (implicitly and/or explicitly trained) can be employed to infer a current and/or future context related to user. An identified or inferred user context can be employed to modify an automated or user-defined search input/query. Contextual cues can be considered directly in the construction and use of context of context-sensitive retrieval algorithms that are optimized for identifying and/or ranking of informational items of potential interest or value in different contexts. As well, the context can be employed to intelligently render results of a query (e.g., user/application defined, context-modified query).

    摘要: Architecture that facilitates online advertising taking on characteristics of a commodities market approach to purchasing advertising space, options for ad space and a futures market for online ad space. Available advertising space is identified and aggregated, and subsets of the aggregated ad space are offered for purchase using a commodities market-based approach. The architecture facilitates revenue-sharing paradigms, coupon delivery, targeted advertising, point-of-sale transactions, inventory control, just-in-time delivery of ads, content and product/services, value-based advertising models, etc. The architecture comprises an aggregation component that aggregates advertisement space information associated with online advertisements, and a transaction component that facilitates transacting subsets of the aggregated advertisement space information to bidders as a function of supply and demand. The aggregation component receives information about online advertising space that is now available, that will become available in the future, and that is predicted by prediction analysis to become available in the future. Advertisements and/or ad space can be specified based on dynamic sensing of contextual cues.

    摘要: A system is described for integrating a search engine and one or more social network resources. The system operates by determining whether a search operation being conducted by a user warrants interaction with a social network resource. If so, the system may provide an invitation to the user to forward a query-related message to the social network resource. The system then sends the message to a group of contacts via the social network resource, where the group of contacts can be defined in various ways. The system receives a response from at least one contact in the group of contacts and presents that response to the user using various delivery mechanisms, as governed by various delivery timings.
