Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for visualization of search results includes a map displayed to a user on a screen. The map shows search query terms and optionally other terms related to the search query terms. The display of the terms corresponds to relationship between the terms. A graphical image is displayed next to at least one of the search query terms. The graphical image is associated with a URL that corresponds to a search result. The graphical image is a favorite icon that is derived from the HTML script associated with a webpage at the URL, or an animated image, or a video, or a cycling GIF. A plurality of graphical images can be displayed in proximity to the search query term. The graphical image can be a logo or a paid advertisement.

Abstract: A system for generating annotations of a document, including a plurality of neurons connected as a neural network, the neurons being associated with words, sentences and documents. An activity regulator regulates a minimum and/or maximum number of neurons of the neural network that are excited at any given time. The neurons are displayed to a user and identify the neurons that correspond to sentences containing a predetermined percentage of document meaning. The annotations can be also based on a context of the user's search query. The query can include keywords, documents considered relevant by the user, or both. Positions of the neurons relative to each other can be changed on a display device, based on input from the user, with the change in position of one neuron changing the resulting annotations. The input from the user can also include changing a relevance of neurons relative to each other, or indicating relevance or irrelevance of a document or sentence.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for visualization of context-based search results, including a plurality of neurons, the neurons being associated with words and documents; a plurality of connections between the neurons; a map that displays at least some of the neurons to a user, wherein the display of the neurons on the map corresponds to their relevance to a search query; a display of the links to the relevant documents; and means for changing positions of the neurons relative to each other based on input from the user. Changing a position of one neuron relative to other neurons also changes positions of other contextually relevant neurons, and displays different relevant documents. The map displays the neurons with their relevance identified by any of font type, color, transparency and font size. The map includes icons in proximity to the displayed word neurons for identifying those neurons as irrelevant. Links to the documents are obtained from a search engine having an input query.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for implementation of a Aggregate Neural Semantic Network, which stores the relationships and semantic connections between the key search words for each user. The Aggregate Neural Semantic Network processes the search results produced by a standard search engine such as, for example, Google or Yahoo!. The set of hits produced by the standard search engine is processed by the Aggregate Neural Semantic Network, which selects the hits that are relevant to a particular user based on the previous search queries made by the user. The Aggregate Neural Semantic Network can also use the connections between the terms (i.e., key words) that are most frequently used by all of the previous Aggregate Neural Semantic Network users. The Aggregate Neural Semantic Network is constantly updating and self-teaching.

Abstract: A system for identifying keywords in search results includes a plurality of neurons connected as a neural network, the neurons being associated with words and documents. An activity regulator regulates a minimum and/or maximum number of neurons of the neural network that are excited at any given time. Means for displaying the neurons to a user and identifying the neurons that correspond to keywords can be provided. Means for changing positions of the neurons relative to each other based on input from the user can be provided. The change in position of one neuron changes the keywords. The input from the user can be dragging a neuron on a display device, or changing a relevance of two neurons relative to each other. The neural network can be excited by a query that comprises words selected by a user. The neural network can be a bidirectional network. The user can inhibit neurons of the neural network by indicating irrelevance of a document.

Abstract: A system for information searching includes a first layer and a second layer. The first layer includes a first plurality of neurons each associated with a word and with a first set of dynamic connections to at least some of the first plurality of neurons. The second layer include a second plurality of neurons each associated with a document and with a second set of dynamic connections to at least some of the first plurality of neurons. The first set of dynamic connections and the second set of dynamic connections can be configured such that a query of at least one neuron of the first plurality of neurons excites at least one neuron of the second plurality of neurons. The excited at least one neuron of the second plurality of neurons can be contextually related to the queried at least one neuron of the first plurality of neurons.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product for navigating categorized information, including (a) a two-dimensional map displayed to a user on a screen, the map showing search terms relating to a subject matter, where the display of the search terms corresponds to relationship between the terms, and wherein a manner of display of the terms corresponds to their relative importance to the subject matter; and (b) a neural network underlying the map, wherein the manner of display and a selection of the search terms is derived from the neural network. The manner of display includes font color, font size, font transparency, distance between search terms and positioning of the search terms within the map. Positioning of a cursor over one of the search terms rearranges the search terms on the map to correspond to an increased relevance of the one of the search terms, while the cursor is over the one of the search terms.
