摘要： A method and system for identifying information about people is provided. The information system identifies groups of people that have relationships based on their relationships to documents or more generally to objects. The information system initially is provided with an indication of which people have which relationships to which documents. The information system then identifies clusters of people based on having a relationship to the same objects. The information system may also identify clusters of related objects associated with a cluster of people. When a user wants to identify information about a person, the user can provide the name of that person to the information system. The information system then can retrieve and display the names of the other people who are in the same cluster as the person.

摘要： A method and system for augmenting a training set used to train a classifier of documents is provided. The augmentation system augments a training set with training data derived from features of documents based on a document hierarchy. The training data of the initial training set may be derived from the root documents of the hierarchies of documents. The augmentation system generates additional training data that includes an aggregate feature that represents the overall characteristics of a hierarchy of documents, rather than just the root document. After the training data is generated, the augmentation system augments the initial training set with the newly generated training data.

摘要： A method and system for identifying informative links of a web site for use in crawling the web site is provided. A forum crawler analyzes sample web pages of a web forum to identify informative links and then crawls the web forum by following links determined to be informative and not following other links. The forum crawler system determines whether links are informative based on whether they are part of the overall structure of the web site or are used to select sequential information that has been split onto multiple web pages.

摘要： While browsing, a user may interact with a wide variety of images. The user may upload and share images taken with a digital camera and/or search for image using a search engine. Because images are rich in contextual information, it may be advantageous to provide additional information, such as adjacent market advertising based upon matching advertisements with contextual information of the images. Accordingly, a query image may be used to retrieve a video frame set. The video frame set may be expanded with related video frames corresponding to adjacent markets. The expanded video frame set may be grouped into clusters of similar frames. The clusters may be used to rank advertisements based upon how similar the advertisements are to the clusters and/or video frames within the clusters. In this way, one or more ranked advertisements may be presented with the query image.

摘要翻译： 在浏览时，用户可以与各种图像进行交互。 用户可以上传和共享用数码相机拍摄的图像和/或使用搜索引擎来搜索图像。 由于图像丰富的上下文信息，提供附加信息可能是有利的，例如基于匹配广告的相邻市场广告与图像的上下文信息。 因此，可以使用查询图像来检索视频帧集合。 视频帧集可以用对应于相邻市场的相关视频帧进行扩展。 扩展的视频帧集可以被分组成类似帧的簇。 群集可以用于基于广告与群集内的群集和/或视频帧的相似度来对广告进行排名。 以这种方式，可以向查询图像呈现一个或多个排名的广告。

摘要： Implementations for identifying duplicate images in an image space are described. An image space is partitioned into a plurality of coarse clusters based on signatures of the images within the image space. The signatures are determined from compact descriptors of the images. Refined clusters that include one or more images of an individual coarse cluster are created based on pair-wise comparisons of the compact descriptors of images in the coarse cluster, and the refined clusters are identified as sets of duplicate images. The refined clusters are grown by searching in similar coarse clusters for images to add to the refined clusters.

摘要： A “Name Disambiguator” provides various techniques for implementing an interactive framework for resolving or disambiguating entity names (associated with objects such as publications) for entity searches where two or more same or similar names may refer to different entities. More specifically, the Name Disambiguator uses a combination of user input and automatic models to address the disambiguation problem. In various embodiments, the Name Disambiguator uses a two part process, including: 1) a global SVM trained from large sets of documents or objects in a simulated interactive mode, and 2) further personalization of local SVM models (associated with individual names or groups of names such as, for example, a group of coauthors) derived from the global SVM model. The result of this process is that large sets of documents or objects are rapidly and accurately condensed or clustered into ordered sets by that are organized by entity names.

摘要： Annotation by search is described. In one aspect, a data store is searched for images that are semantically related to a baseline annotation of a given image and visually similar to the given image. The given image is then annotated with common concepts of annotations associated with at least a subset of the semantically and visually related images.
