20090300014 | MEMBERSHIP CHECKING OF DIGITAL TEXT - The described implementations relate to data analysis, such as membership checking. One technique identifies candidate matches between document sub-strings and database members utilizing signatures. The technique further verifies that the candidate matches are true matches. | 12-03-2009 |
20090327223 | QUERY-DRIVEN WEB PORTALS - The described implementations relate to query portals. One technique analyzes search results generated by a web search engine responsive to a user search query. The technique also dynamically generates a query portal that lists the search results as well as entities identified from the search results. | 12-31-2009 |
20100293179 | IDENTIFYING SYNONYMS OF ENTITIES USING WEB SEARCH - Identifying synonyms of entities using web search results is disclosed herein. In some aspects, a candidate string of tokens of an entity name is selected as a search term. The search term is transmitted by a server to a search engine, which in turn, transmits search results back to the server after performing a search. The server analyzes the search results, generates a score based on the search results, and then determines a status (synonym or not a synonym) of the candidate string based on the score. In further aspects, additional candidate strings are designated as synonyms or not synonyms based on status of the searched candidate string by using relationships of a lattice formed from all possible candidate strings of the entity name. | 11-18-2010 |
20100313258 | IDENTIFYING SYNONYMS OF ENTITIES USING A DOCUMENT COLLECTION - Identifying synonyms of entities using a collection of documents is disclosed herein. In some aspects, a document from a collection of documents may be analyzed to identify hit sequences that include one or more tokens (e.g., words, number, etc.). The hit sequences may then be used to generate discriminating token sets (DTS's) that are subsets of both the hit sequences and the entity names. The DTS's are matched with corresponding entity names, and then used to create DTS phrases by selecting adjacent text in the document that is proximate to the DTS. The DTS phrases may be analyzed to determine whether the corresponding DTS is synonyms of the entity name. In various aspects, the tokens of an associated entity name that are present in the DTS phrases are used to generate a score for the DTS. When the score at least reaches a threshold, the DTS may be designated as a synonym. A list of synonyms may be generated for each entity name. | 12-09-2010 |
20110282856 | IDENTIFYING ENTITY SYNONYMS - Embodiments for identifying an entity synonym of an entity are described. A query log is stored in a database located on at least one computing device. A candidate generation module can select a candidate query in the query log that shares a click on a URL with the entity. A correlated tag module can generate a set of phrase-tag pairs for the entity and the candidate query and measure a mutual information value for each phrase-tag pair. A candidate filtering module can determine a click similarity value between the candidate query and the entity based on a set of URLs selected in the search engine results and a tag similarity value based on the mutual information values. A candidate query is selected as an entity synonym if the click similarity value and the tag similarity value are greater than predetermined thresholds respectively. | 11-17-2011 |
20110314010 | KEYWORD TO QUERY PREDICATE MAPS FOR QUERY TRANSLATION - A query comprising a set of keywords may be applied to a data set having various attributes, but it may be difficult to determine the query predicates intended for each keyword (e.g., the attributes targeted by each keyword, and the values of those attributes satisfying the keyword.) The meaning of a keyword of interest may be inferred from a set of query pairs, comprising a background query (comprising a set of keywords excluding the keyword of interest) and a foreground query (comprising the same set of keywords but also including the keyword of interest.) Differences in the query results for the foreground query and the background query of many query pairs may identify a query predicate intended by the keyword and a confidence score. These results may be associated with the keyword in a keyword map, useful for translating queries into query predicates that may yield relevant query results. | 12-22-2011 |
20120323932 | ITERATIVE SET EXPANSION USING SAMPLES - A set expansion system is described herein that uses general-purpose web data to expand a set of seed entities. The system includes a simple yet effective quality metric to measure the expanded set, and includes two iterative thresholding processes to rank candidate entities. The system models web data sources and integrates relevance and coherence measurements to evaluate potential set candidates using an iterative process. The system uses general-purpose web data that is not specific to the given seeds. The system defines quality of the result set as the sum of two component scores: the relevance of a set of entities that measures their similarity with the given seeds, and the coherence of the set of entities produced which is how closely the entities in the set are related to each other. Based on this quality measure, the system develops a class of iterative set expansion processes. | 12-20-2012 |
20120330864 | FAST PERSONALIZED PAGE RANK ON MAP REDUCE - A personalized page rank computation system is described herein that provides a fast MapReduce method for Monte Carlo approximation of personalized PageRank vectors of all the nodes in a graph. The method presented is both faster and less computationally intensive than existing methods, allowing a broader scope of problems to be solved by existing computing hardware. The system adopts the Monte Carlo approach and provides a method to compute single random walks of a given length for all nodes in a graph that it is superior in terms of the number of map-reduce iterations among a broad class of methods. The resulting solution reduces the I/O cost and outperforms the state-of-the-art FPPR approximation methods, in terms of efficiency and approximation error. Thus, the system can very efficiently perform single random walks of a given length starting at each node in the graph and can very efficiently approximate all the personalized PageRank vectors. | 12-27-2012 |
