| 20090276457 | Method and System for Maintaining Profiles of Information Channels - 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. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100161547 | Personalized Web Feed Views - 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. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100281035 | Method and System of Prioritising Operations On Network Objects - A method and system for prioritising operations on network objects are provided. The method includes gathering Web 2.0 available relationship data on the relationships between network entities, wherein network entities are network users and network objects. The relationship data for a network entity is analysed and a first relative score is determined based on the relationship data. For a network object, a second relative score is determined which is a dynamic score based on user interactions with the network object and formed using the first relative scores of network entities interacting with the object. The method then prioritizes an operation on a network object using the second relative score. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20110106799 | MEASURING WEB SITE SATISFACTION OF INFORMATION NEEDS - A method, system, and computer program product for measuring web site satisfaction of information needs are provided. The method includes: selecting a page for analysis; generating a page profile in the form of a list of keywords representing the page; generating a page traffic profile in the form of lists of keywords representing information needs of users, wherein the page traffic profile is generated from keywords used by users to visit the page; determining the success of users' visits to the page; and analyzing whether a page satisfies users' information needs by applying a distance measure between the keywords of the page profile and the keywords of the page traffic profile and combining the distance measure result with a success rate of the keywords. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110125764 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED QUERY EXPANSION IN FACETED SEARCH - A method and system for improved query expansion in faceted search are provided. The method includes: receiving a search query; expanding the search query to obtain query expansion terms; and receiving a facet selection for the search query. A facet profile is retrieved in the form of collected important terms for the facet; and the query expansion terms are weighted by comparing them to the facet profile. The query expansion terms are re-ranked and the method includes executing the re-weighted query expansion terms whilst filtering for the facet. | 05-26-2011 |
| 20110219056 | Method and System for Maintaining Profiles of Information Channels - 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. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110302103 | POPULARITY PREDICTION OF USER-GENERATED CONTENT - A method, system, and computer program product for popularity prediction of user-generated content are provided. The method includes measuring the novelty of a user-generated content and predicting the popularity of the user-generated content based on the measured novelty. Predicting the popularity of the user-generated content includes: extracting basic features of the user-generated content; measuring novelty features of the user-generated content; and predicting the popularity based on the basic features and novelty features. Measuring the novelty of a user-generated content includes one or more of: measuring a relative novelty of the user-generated content with respect to the contribution history of the same user in a given time period; measuring a relative novelty of the user-generated content with respect to user-generated content of other users in a given time period; and measuring a relative novelty of the user-generated content with respect to the references by other users to the user-generated content. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110307294 | DYNAMIC GENERATION OF PRODUCTS FOR ONLINE RECOMMENDATION - A method, system, and computer program product for dynamic generation of products for online recommendation. The method includes receiving a signal and processing the signal to extract one to many features and locating baseline products and embeddable items relating to the features a baseline product is dynamically matched with one or more embeddable items to generate a combined product and a representation of the combined product is provided as an online recommendation for a product; | 12-15-2011 |
