  • Patent number: 10191983
    Abstract: A system and methods for unit of measurement conversion and search query expansion are described. The search query expansion may include identifying an initial unit of measurement associated with a property and an initial numeric value for the initial unit of measurement within a search query, automatically forming an expanded search query by expanding the search query to include at least one related unit of measurement associated with the property, and sending the expanded search query to a search engine to search a database. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20110258202
    Abstract: A concept extraction machine accesses textual data of a document. The document comprises text and a title, and the textual data comprises the title and the text of the document. The concept extraction machine identifies a portion of the text as a text token. The concept extraction machine identifies the text token based on the portion of the text appearing in the emphasized text and in the title. The concept extraction machine further calculates a relevance value of the text token based on the textual data. The relevance value represents a probability that the text token is relevant to a concept expressed in the document. Based on the relevance value, the concept extraction machine stores the text token as concept metadata of the document. The concept extraction machine indexes the concept metadata and searches the concept metadata to identify the document in response to a search request.
