20100094868 | DETECTION OF UNDESIRABLE WEB PAGES - A system for detecting artificial promotion of a resource, including a search engine operative to index a set incoming links (“inlinks”) which reference the resource, a log module coupled with the search engine and configured to store log data associated with the set of inlinks, a partitioning module coupled with log module and operative to partition the set of inlinks into a plurality of groups of inlinks based on at least one partitioning scheme, a statistics module coupled with the partitioning module and operative to compute a statistic associated with the inlinks within each of the plurality of groups of inlinks, and a computation module coupled with the statistics module and operative to process the computed statistic associated with the inlinks of each of the plurality of groups of inlinks and compute a metric associated with set of inlinks where the metric indicates a level of uniformity of a distribution of values of the respective computed statistics among the plurality of groups of inlinks, and where the search engine places a list of search results, generated in response to a search query, in a pattern based on the metric. | 04-15-2010 |
20110035345 | AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION OF SEGMENTED PORTIONS OF WEB PAGES - Exemplary methods and apparatuses are provided which may be used for classifying and indexing segmented portions of web pages and providing related information for use in information extraction and/or information retrieval systems. | 02-10-2011 |
20110072021 | Semantic and Text Matching Techniques for Network Search - In one embodiment, access a search query comprising one or more query words, at least one of the query words representing one or more query concepts; access a network document identified for a search query by a search engine, the network document comprising one or more document words, at least one of the document words representing one or more document concepts; semantic-text match the search query and the network document to determine one or more negative semantic-text matches; and construct one or more negative features based on the negative semantic-text matches. | 03-24-2011 |
20120042020 | MICRO-BLOG MESSAGE FILTERING - Example methods, apparatuses, or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented using one or more computing devices to provide or otherwise support micro-blog message filtering. | 02-16-2012 |
20120239650 | UNSUPERVISED MESSAGE CLUSTERING - Unsupervised clustering can be used for organization of micro-blog or other short length messages into message clusters. Messages can be compared with existing clusters to determine a similarity score. If at least one similarity score is greater than a threshold value, a message can be added to an existing message cluster. If a message is not similar to an existing cluster, the message can be compared against criteria for starting a new message cluster. | 09-20-2012 |
20130097144 | SUPPLEMENTAL SEARCH RESULTS HAVING SOCIAL CONNECTION ENDORSEMENT DATA ON A SERP - Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for presenting supplemental search results having indications that identified documents have been endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user are provided. A search query is received and it is determined that the user's social networking data is available. Documents that have been endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user are searched to identify those that satisfy the input search query. The satisfying documents are assigned a relevance score to determine whether each satisfying document is relevant enough to be shown and to determine placement of the document on the SERP relative to standard search results. Upon rendering of the SERP, a supplemental search result identifying documents that were endorsed by the user and/or social network connections of the user is presented, as is an indication about which social network connection(s) of the user endorsed the document. | 04-18-2013 |
20130159319 | LIKEFARM DETERMINATION - A plurality of web documents that include indicators corresponding to one or more selectable like objects may be obtained. A corresponding web domain associated with each of the plurality of obtained web documents may be determined. A domain total like object count of the indicators corresponding to the one or more selectable like objects may be determined for each one of the obtained plurality of web documents, for each determined corresponding web domain. A candidate group of the corresponding web domains may be determined based on a comparison of a predetermined first threshold value with one or more of the domain total like object counts. A likefarm domain confidence score may be determined for each one of a second group of the corresponding web domains based on a decision tree function that is based on a plurality of domain attributes. | 06-20-2013 |
20140279798 | DERIVATION AND PRESENTATION OF EXPERTISE SUMMARIES AND INTERESTS FOR USERS - Architecture that automatically generate concise descriptions of users in social media. The descriptions communicate classification or category of a given social media user in a small amount of viewing space. The description can be based on available metadata (e.g., user profile biography) and/or other information about that person, as may be obtained from the information data sources (e.g., structured knowledge bases) on networks such as the Internet and enterprises, for example. The descriptions can also be query-dependent, by assuming there is some relationship between the social media user and a query, in which case, the descriptions illustrate that relationship. | 09-18-2014 |
20150066934 | AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION OF SEGMENTED PORTIONS OF WEB PAGES - Exemplary methods and apparatuses are provided which may be used for classifying and indexing segmented portions of web pages and providing related information for use in information extraction and/or information retrieval systems. | 03-05-2015 |
