Method, system, and computer program product for automatic generation of a word-cloud for a content item are provided. The method includes: extracting terms from a content item using statistical selection criteria; weighting a term by a probability that the term is used as a tag; and generating a visual representation of terms with enhanced representation of terms according to the weighting. Weighting a term by a probability that the term is used as a tag may include determining the relative frequency of the term in a folksonomy of tag terms for a domain.

A system and method including a simulator operating in conjunction with a search-engine, for improving document and site findability. Users input their content (pages or sites) and the simulator will analyze the site in terms of structure and content. It will then give the user a ranked list of suggestions about how the user might improve his/her site's findability. The user will then be able to apply some or all of these suggestions, or any other changes, by virtually modifying the site, and then immediately receive feedback both on how the pages look and a sense of the degree of findability improvement. The interactive process allows users to simulate modifications in their site structure and content in order to improve its findability. When the user completes the modifications and is satisfied with the new findability of his site, the user will be able then to replace his/her current site in the repository with the modified one.

A method and system are provided for maintaining profiles of information channels available on the Web, wherein the information channels are accessed via pull-only protocols. The method includes monitoring one or more channels by a channel pull action at a monitoring rate, wherein the monitoring rate is determined for the one or more channels based on the number of update events in a previous time period. The method may optimally include filtering the update events in the time period by a novelty measure, wherein the filtering disregards events that do not include significant novel information. The monitoring rate is adapted based on reinforcement learning applying iterative learning rules over time.

A method and system are provided of merging results in distributed information retrieval. A search manager is in communication with a plurality of components, wherein a component is a search engine working on a document collection and returning results in the form of a list of documents to a search query. The search manager submits a query to the plurality of components, receives results from each component in the form of a list of documents; estimates the success of a component in handling the query to generate a merit score for a component per query; applies the merit score to the results for the component; and merges results from the plurality of components by ranking in order of the applied merit score.

A system for generation of personalized Web feed views in accordance with pre-defined profile parameters, is presented. The system including a user definition interface for receiving at least one user parameter and sending the parameter to a content provider and a feed view personalization unit operable to receive the user parameter and customize feed content in accordance with the at least one user parameter for displaying to the user.
摘要:
Information retrieval with unified search between heterogeneous objects is described. The method includes: indexing a first object as a document in a search index; referencing a second object related to the first object in a facet of the document; and storing a relationship strength between the first and second objects in the facet of the document in the search index. Multiple heterogeneous objects can be related to the first object and referenced in multiple facets of the document, each with its relationship strength to the first object. Scoring an indirect object by indirect relation to a query object can be carried out by aggregating the relationship strengths between the indirect object and the retrieved objects multiplied by the retrieved objects' direct scores of relationship strength to the query object.

A method and system for analyzing a document set (202, 420) are provided. The method includes determining a set of terms (312) from the terms of the document set that minimizes a distance measurement (405) from the given set of documents (420). The method includes using a greedy algorithm to build the set of terms incrementally, at each stage finding a single word that is closest to the document set (202, 420). The set of terms is evaluated to assess the ability to find the document set (202, 420). The set of terms are compared with expected terms to evaluate the ability to find the document set (202, 420). A measure of the ability to find a document set (202, 420) is provided by computing a distance measure (403) between a document set and an entire collection.

A method and system are provided of merging results in distributed information retrieval. A search manager (104) is in communication with a plurality of components, wherein a component is a search engine (106-108) working on a document collection and returning results in the form of a list of documents to a search query. The search manager (104) submits a query (202) to the plurality of components, receives results (213) from each component in the form of a list of documents; estimates (208) the success of a component in handling the query to generate a merit score (210) for a component per query; applies (220) the merit score (210) to the results for the component; and merges (222) results from the plurality of components by ranking in order of the applied merit score.
摘要:
Method, system, and computer program product for indexing and searching entity-relationship data are provided. The method includes: defining a logical document model for entity-relationship data including: representing an entity as a document containing the entity's searchable content and metadata; dually representing the entity as a document and as a category; and representing each relationship instance for the entity as a category set that contains categories of all participating entities in the relationship. The method also includes: translating entity-relationship data into the logical document model; and indexing the entity-relationship data of the populated logical document model as an inverted index. The method may include searching indexed entity-relationship data using a faceted search, wherein the categories are all categories required for supporting faceted navigation.
摘要:
Method, system, and computer program product for faceted search with relationships between categories are provided. The method includes: having a document set of multiple documents, each document having associated categories to which it belongs; grouping multiple categories associated with a document into a category set based on a relationship between the multiple categories; associating the category set with the document; and indexing the category set for retrieval of documents from categories sharing a category set. Wherein indexing the category set includes: having an index entry of a textual representations of a category, wherein the index entry includes a single occurrence for each document to which the category is attached; adding a payload to a document occurrence of a serialization of an identifier of the category sets to which the category belongs associated with the document. Indexing the category set further includes: adding an index entry for category set data, wherein the index entry includes a single occurrence for each document, wherein a document occurrence includes a payload of a serialization of an identifier of category sets associated with the document, and an identifier of the categories belonging to the category sets.
