A method and system for determining similarity between items is provided. To calculate similarity scores for pairs of items, the similarity system initializes a similarity score for each pair of objects and each pair of features. The similarity system then iteratively calculates the similarity scores for each pair of objects based on the similar scores of the pairs of features calculated during a previous iteration and calculates the similarity scores for each pair of features based on the similarity scores of the pairs of objects calculated during a previous iteration. The similarity system implements an algorithm that is based on a recursive definition of the similarities between objects and between features. The similarity system continues the iterations of recalculating the similarity scores until the similarity scores converge on a solution.

The described systems, methods and data structures are directed to ranking Web pages with hierarchical considerations. The hierarchical structures and the linking relationships of the World Wide Web are used to provide a page importance ranking for Web searches. The linking relationships are aggregated to a high level node at each of the hierarchical structures. A link graph analysis is performed on the aggregated linking relationships to determine the importance of each node. The importance of each node may be propagated to pages associated with that node. For each page, the importance of that page and the importance of the node associated with the page are used to calculate the page importance ranking.

A method and system for detecting whether an outgoing communication contains confidential information or other target information is provided. The detection system is provided with a collection of documents that contain confidential information, referred to as “confidential documents.” When the detection system is provided with an outgoing communication, it compares the content of the outgoing communication to the content of the confidential documents. If the outgoing communication contains confidential information, then the detection system may prevent the outgoing communication from being sent outside the organization. The detection system detects confidential information based on the similarity between the content of an outgoing communication and the content of confidential documents that are known to contain confidential information.

A method and system for ranking objects based on relationships with objects of a different object type is provided. The ranking system defines an equation for each attribute of each type of object. The equations define the attribute values and are based on relationships between the attribute and the attributes associated with the same type of object and different types of objects. The ranking system iteratively calculates the attribute values for the objects using the equations until the attribute values converge on a solution. The ranking system then ranks objects based on attribute values.

Systems and methods for enhanced document retrieval are described. In one aspect, a search query from an end-user is received. Responsive to receiving the search query, search results are retrieved. The search results include an enhanced document and a set of non-enhanced documents. The enhanced document and the non-enhanced documents include term(s) of the search query. The enhanced document is derived from a base document. The base document was modified with metadata mined from one or more different documents. The metadata is associated with one or more respective references to the base document. The one or more different documents are independent of the base document.

A method and system for generating and using a combined model to identify whether a bid term is relevant to an advertisement is provided. A relevance system trains a combined model that includes an initial model and a decision tree model that are trained using features that represent relationships between bid terms and advertisements. The relevance system trains the initial model to map initial model features to a modeled relevance. The relevance system trains the decision tree model to map the decision tree features and the modeled relevance to a final relevance. The trained initial model and decision tree model represent the combined model. The relevance system then uses the combined model to determine the relevance of bid terms to advertisements.
摘要:
An implicit links enhancement system and method for search engines that generates implicit links obtained from mining user access logs to facilitate enhanced local searching of web sites and intranets. The implicit links search enhancement system and method includes extracting implicit links by mining users' access patterns and then using a modified link analysis algorithm to re-rank search results obtained from traditional search engines. More specifically, the implicit links search enhancement method includes extracting implicit links from a user access log, generating an implicit links graph from the extracted implicit links, and computing page rankings using the implicit links graph. The implicit links are extracted from the log using a two-item sequential pattern mining technique. Search results obtained from a search engine are re-ranked based on an implicit links analysis performed using an updated implicit links graph, a modified re-ranking formula, and at least one re-ranking technique.

A method and system for measuring the similarity of objects based on relationships with objects of the same type and different types and similarities of those objects to other objects is provided. In one embodiment, the similarity system defines intra-type and inter-type similarity functions for each type of object. The similarity system may combine the intra-type and inter-type similarity functions for a certain type into an overall similarity function for that type. After defining the similarity functions, the similarity system collects attribute values for the objects, which may include relationship data between objects of the same type, referred to as intra-type relationships, and relationships between objects of different types, referred to as inter-type relationships. After collecting the attribute values for the objects, the similarity system solves the intra-type and inter-type similarity functions by iteratively calculating the similarities for the objects until the similarities converge on a solution.
