Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for predicting object identity using an ensemble of predictors. In one aspect, a method includes selecting candidate objects that likely match a received object that is to be identified, from a database of objects, and providing attributes of the received object compared with those of the candidates to an ensemble of predictors having respective properties. Based on previous training, each predictor can predict a most likely candidate. From among the most likely candidates, a previously trained support vector machine can select a potential match candidate. If a score that the support vector machine associates with the potential match candidate, that is representative of the potential match candidate's likelihood to match the received candidate satisfies a threshold, then the potential match candidate can be determined to be the received candidate.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for extracting data from unstructured documents are described. One such method involves assigning one or more labels to one or more nodes in a first object model of a first web page; comparing a second object model of a second web page to the first object model; if the first object model matches the second object model to a determined degree, extracting from the second web page data associated with nodes in the second object model that match labeled nodes in the first object model; and providing the extracted data for storage in a structured database in a manner associated with the labels.
