  • Patent number: 7483877
    Abstract: A random document is stripped of the relevant search terms to generate a non-relevant document. The relevant search terms are formed into grammatically correct but not necessarily technically correct sentences. The grammatically correct sentences are placed at the beginning of the random document in one pass through the system in the middle of a document in a second pass through the system and at the end of the document in a third pass through the system. A relevancy vector chart is computed using the references documents and a known relevancy algorithm relating to position of search terms. The results obtained from search engines are compared to the relevancy vector chart to determine the relative relevancy of the returned search results from the search engines.

  • Publication number: 20070226348
    Abstract: In general, the present invention provides a method, system and program product for approximating/estimating computer resource consumption of a computer system. Specifically, under the present invention, a more efficient or reduced computer work gradient matrix (hereinafter “matrix”) is first built. This occurs by creating load measurements for a set of computer resource metrics of the computer system to analyze dependencies between different computer resource metrics. Then, a correlation matrix between the set of computer resource metrics is created based on the dependencies. The set of computer system resource metrics in the correlation matrix is thereafter clustered into a set of clusters, and a reduced matrix is built based thereon. Once the reduced matrix is built, it can be restored to a “full” matrix using linear transformation or the like.

  • Patent number: 7272573
    Abstract: A method, software and apparatus are provided which enable a merchant to promote products and services in a deterministic manner. When a shopper enters a set of key words in an entry in an on-screen form for a web server to obtain a list of items (products and/or services) of interest to the shopper, the documents describing the items are prioritized based on the web sites owner's organizational strategic decisions by the merchant providing a weighting factor for the products and services. The weighting factor is combined with existing ranking mechanisms to the documents to increase the probability that certain items come to the top when the search results are presented to the shopper. These items could be used to ensure shoppers do not overlook special offers or to reduce overstocks by promoting products with a large inventory. The weighting factor is configured so as to not decrease the shoppers confidence in the ranking process.

  • Patent number: 7249058
    Abstract: A method, software and apparatus are provided which enable promotion of products and services in a deterministic manner free of conflicting actions modifying raw ranking data based on merchants interests. For this purpose, an information consolidator is provided to obtain search results for a plurality of sources including directly from merchants. When a shopper enters a set of key words in an entry field in an on-screen form for a web server to obtain a list of items (products and/or services) of interest to the shopper, the documents describing the items can be prioritized by the information provided by the information source based on the web sites owner's priorities. The information consolidator receives ranking information taking the highest ranked products and obtains the product information for the most highly ranked products. The information consolidator then reranks the products using a preferred ranking algorithm to remove information sources biases in this ranking of the products.

  • Patent number: 7143085
    Abstract: Euclidean analysis is used to define queries in terms of a multi-axis query space where each of the keywords T1, T2, . . . Ti, . . . Tn is assigned an axis in that space. Sets of test queries St for each one from one of a plurality of server sources, are plotted in the query space. Clusters of the search terms are identified based on the proximity of the plotted query vectors to one another. Predominant servers are identified for each of the clusters. When a search query Ss is received, the location of its vector is determined and the servers accessed by the search query Ss are those that are predominant in the cluster which its vector may fall or is in closest proximity to.

  • Patent number: 6886009
    Abstract: Query routing is based on identifying the preeminent search systems and data sources for each of a number of information domains. This involves assigning a weight to each search system or data source for each of the information domains. The greater the weight, the more preeminent a search system or data source is in a particular information domain. These weights Wi{1=0, 1,2, . . . N] are computed through a recursive learning process employing meta processing. The meta learning process involves simultaneous interrogation of multiple search systems to take advantage of the cross correlation between the search systems and data sources. In this way, assigning a weight to a search system takes into consideration results obtained about other search systems so that the assigned weights reflect the relative strengths of each of the systems or sources in a particular information domain. In the present process, a domain dataset used as an input to query generator.

  • Publication number: 20040205051
    Abstract: A reference document is stripped of relevant search terms and then repopulated with the search terms in accordance with at least one known relevancy algorithm. An example of such a relevancy algorithm involves the position of search terms in a document. When search terms appear early in the document, the document is more relevant than when the search terms appear later in the document. To obtain a relevancy vector chart, a random document is stripped of the relevant terms to generate a non-relevant document. The relevant terms are then formed into sentences by an insertion controller which arranges them in grammatically correct but not necessarily technically correct sentences. The created sentences then are placed back into the document in a selected portion of the document. For instance, correct sentences could be placed at the beginning of the document in one pass through the system. In the middle of a document the second pass through the system and the third time be placed at the end of the document.
