  • Patent number: 8812559
    Abstract: Systems and methods for applications of orthogonal corpus indexing (OCI), such as selecting ad words for purchase and improving visibility of web pages in search engines, are described. In one aspect, the systems and methods described herein employ OCI for creating an advertising database. The described systems and methods process an information database using orthogonal corpus indexing and a seed topic to derive keywords. The described systems and methods query a search engine with a first keyword of the keywords, and process the provided results page to determine content relating to a classification such as an advertiser, an advertisement, an ad word, and an advertising link page. The described systems and methods insert the determined content with respective classification in the advertising database.

  • Patent number: 8554775
    Abstract: Systems and methods for applications of orthogonal corpus indexing (OCI), such as selecting ad words for purchase and improving visibility of web pages in search engines, are described. In one aspect, the systems and methods described herein employ OCI to recommend to an advertiser ad words for purchase. Advertisers pay search engines for placement of their advertising along side results in the search results page, when a given word or phrase appears in a user's search query. The described systems and methods enable automated selection of related and discriminating terms, identifying keywords that increase the ratio of ads clicked-through to money spent on keyword buying. In another aspect, the systems and methods described herein employ OCI to generate content for web pages. OCI may be used to determine content that when added to a web page improves the rank of that page in a search engine.

  • Patent number: 5842202
    Abstract: Systems and methods that model and measure the propagation of error within information systems. The invention provides data management systems that determine an error measure that represent the accuracy, or inaccuracy of a query result achieved for processing a structured data set. In one embodiment, the invention provides systems that have a model of error which exists within a structured data set. The system can further include an error propagation monitor that processes the error model and the structured data set to determine errors within the structured data set that will propagate to a query result generated by performing a query process on the structured data set. The propagated error represents the error that exists within the query result signal.
