  • Patent number: 12147485
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for managing a search engine based on search performance metrics. An example method generally includes dividing a set of search history data into a first subset of search history data and a second subset of search history data. The first subset of data is associated with interaction with search results, and the second subset of data is associated with non-interaction with search results. A first quality score is generated for searches in the first subset of data. A second quality score is generated for searches in the second subset of data based on different search intents identified for each temporally related group in the second subset of data. An overall quality score is generated for a search engine, and one or more actions with respect to the search engine are taken based on the overall quality score.

  • Patent number: 12007939
    Abstract: Techniques are presented for producing demographics, in an automated fashion, from a search result of computer-accessible content. While the demographics can be determined for a research product that has been produced by any technique, they are particularly useful when applied to an automated frame-based search approach. Frame-based search engines are presented for technology profiling, healthcare-related search and brand research. Determination of a demographic proceeds at two levels: member and population. At the member level, a demographic characteristic can be determined applicable with either total or partial certainty. Each value assigned by a demographic, to a population member, has a confidence level associated with it and the assignments can be represented by a Confidence Distribution. Summarization of a demographic, at the population level, depends upon whether the certainty assignments, at the member level, are total or partial. Declarant Demographics are presented.
