摘要:
A familiarity level classifier comprises a stopwords engine for conducting a stopwords analysis of stopwords, e.g., introductory level stopwords and advanced level stopwords, in a document, e.g., a website; and a familiarity level classifier module for generating a document familiarity level based on the stopwords analysis. The classifier may be in an indexing module, a search engine, a user computer, or elsewhere in a computer network. The classifier may also include a reading level engine for conducting a reading level analysis of the document, and wherein the familiarity level classifier module is configured to generate the familiarity level also based on the reading level analysis. The classifier may also include a document features engine for conducting a feature analysis of the document, and wherein the familiarity level classifier module is configured to generate the document familiarity level also based on the feature analysis.
摘要:
A system and method is disclosed for determining a prediction measurement, or measure, using geo-spatial information which can be used to determine whether or not to include type of information in search results. The prediction measurement comprises a measure of the likelihood that an item of the type of information for which the prediction measure is determined will be selected, or clicked on, by a user, if the item of the type of information is included in the search result. Without limitation, one such information type is news.

摘要:
A system and method are disclosed for identifying the tasks that a user is attempting to perform when submitting a series of search queries. A task may be categorized hierarchically into a mission and a goal in order to classify a series of queries and determine the user's intent. The user's mission may be an extended task and the user's goal may be a specific task. A pair of queries may be analyzed to determine whether those queries have the same mission and/or the same goal. For a series of queries, boundaries may be identified between the queries to identify where a user has changed her goal or changed her mission. The identification of goals, missions and boundaries may be automated based on an analysis of features of the queries that are compared.
摘要:
A system and method for receiving a query and determining candidate alternate queries. A query may be parsed into concepts and then candidates for alternate terms may be determined for either the whole query or the determined concepts. Candidates are scored for their respective similarity to the original query. After scoring, at least one candidate is chosen and may be used as a possible alternate query choice for a user or used to serve bidded advertisements to the user.
摘要:
The present invention is directed towards systems and methods for generating one or more related queries with respect to a given query. The method may comprise receiving a query comprising one or more terms, generating a corpus of candidate reformulations and identifying one or more queries or terms from the corpus of candidate reformulations related to the received query. One or more related queries are generated on the basis of the identified one or more queries or terms from the corpus of candidate reformulations.
摘要:
A system is disclosed for expanding a user query based on user learned popularity rankings. User queries often have no exact match, resulting in a user having to refine or abandon the search. The disclosed system obtains popularity rankings based on the content of a user query. The system expands the user query based on the popularity rankings. Thereafter, query results based on the expanded user query may be provided to the user. The system also regularly learns from user behavior and adapts the popularity rankings according to the learned information.

摘要:
In certain implementations, a system and/or method is provided for providing search results in response to a search query. In this implementation a temporal profile of the search query is built from temporal data associated with documents retrieved in response to the search query. From features of the temporal profile it may determined whether the search query would benefit from relevance feedback from a user. If there is a determination that the search query will benefit from the relevance feedback, relevance feedback is sought from the user. Search results are provided based on the relevance feedback.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus are described for identifying implicitly temporally qualified queries, i.e., queries for which a time period is implied but not explicitly stated, and for expanding such queries to include one or more temporal references.
