Patent number: 9442985Abstract: Search results may be provided to a user. A search query may be received from the user. A query feature vector may be formed for the search query. The query feature vector may be compared with news feature vectors associated with documents related to current events. An augmented query feature vector may be formed based on results of the comparison of the query feature vector with the news feature vectors. The augmented query feature vector may be compared with feature vectors related to target documents. Search results that include target documents may be identified based on results of the comparison of the augmented query feature vector with the feature vectors related to the target documents. The user may be made able to perceive at least some of the identified search results.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: AOL Inc.Inventors: Anthony Wiegering, Harmannus Vandermolen, Karen Howe, Michael Sommers
