摘要： In an embodiment, the size of a filter in a search engine is dynamically adjusted in order to reduce filter error. The filter, for example, may be a domain filter that contains domain(s) of preferred search results. A search engine processes the query and the domain filter to create a set of search results that are relevant to the query terms and for which a selected portion of the search results satisfy the domain filter, in that such portion of the documents comes from domains in the filter. The search results may then be provided to the user, as a set of search results that are relevant to the query terms and which include some portion of results that match the query labels. The construction of the domain filter may be done with a Bloom filter approach, using domain prefixes from annotations.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention comprises a system that provides recommendations to a user. During operation, the system performs a computer-based lookup operation to identify trusted entities that the user trusts (or is likely to trust) to make recommendations. Next, the system performs another computer-based lookup operation to obtain recommendations associated with the identified trusted entities. The system then uses the obtained recommendations to provide recommendations to the user. In a variation on this embodiment, the system additionally receives information indicating that the user trusts recommendations associated with an entity. The system then stores a corresponding record for the trust relationship between the user and the trusted entity in a computer-based lookup structure to facilitate subsequently identifying trusted entities that the user trusts to make recommendations.

摘要： The present invention relates to systems and methods for customizing search engine (CSE) behavior. In an embodiment of the present invention, a system customizes a query search of a plurality of search engines. The system includes a search executor configured to receive a search specification having a query modification description, a results modification description, and a specification of sections. The specification of sections includes a first section identifying a first search engine in the plurality of search engines and a second section identifying a second search engine different from the first search engine in the plurality of search engines. The specification of sections also includes a connecting section coupled to the first section and the second section. The connecting section has an associated condition controlling results combined from the first and second sections.

摘要： A sales prediction system predicts sales from online public discussions. The system utilizes manually or automatically formulated predicates to capture subsets of postings in online public discussions. The system predicts spikes in sales rank based on online chatter. The system comprises automated algorithms that predict spikes in sales rank given a time series of counts of online discussions such as blog postings. The system utilizes a stateless model of customer behavior based on a series of states of excitation that are increasingly likely to lead to a purchase decision. The stateless model of customer behavior yields a predictor of sales rank spikes that is significantly more accurate than conventional techniques operating on sales rank data alone.

摘要： A search engine system provides search results that are ranked according to a measure of the trust associated with entities that have provided labels for the documents in the search results. A search engine receives a query and selects documents relevant to the query. The search engine also determines labels associated with selected documents, and the trust ranks of the entities that provided the labels. The trust ranks are used to determine trust factors for the respective documents. The trust factors are used to adjust information retrieval scores of the documents. The search results are then ranked based on the adjusted information retrieval scores.

摘要： Third party content providers can specify parameters for generating specialized search results in response to queries matching specific patterns. In this way, a generic search website can be enhanced to provide specialized search results to subscribed users. In one embodiment, these specialized results appear on a given user's result pages only when the user has subscribed to the enhancements from that particular content provider, so that users can tailor their search experience and see results that are more likely to be of interest to them. In other embodiments the specialized results are available to all users.

摘要： A method and system for generating threads of documents from a collection C of documents containing terms. Each document of C has a timestamp and an associated timestamp index. The timestamp indexes are ordered in accordance with an ordering of the associated timestamps. A relevance graph G generated from C is an acyclic directed graph. Each node of G denotes a document of C. Each edge of G connects a pair of directed nodes pointing from a node having an earlier timestamp to a node having a later timestamp. At least one thread of G is determined by executing a matching-based algorithm or a dynamic programming algorithm. Each thread is a path through G originating at a first node and terminating at a second node and including one or more contiguous edges from the first node to the second node. The at least one thread is outputted.

摘要： Context information, obtained by one programmable search engine and relating to a user, is stored in a central shared repository so that it can be used by other programmable search engines, in order to provide more effective targeted search results for the user in the future. Information obtained from other sources, including from the user him- or herself, can also be stored in the repository for future use. A programmable search engine consults the shared repository when processing queries and/or results, so as to incorporate previously stored context information concerning the user.
