  • Patent number: 8442973
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for utilizing user behavior to immediately modify sets of search results so that the most relevant documents are moved to the top. In one embodiment of the invention, behavior data, which can come from virtually any activity, is used to infer the user's intent. The updated inferred implicit user model is then exploited immediately by re-ranking the set of matched documents to best reflect the information need of the user. The system updates the user model and immediately re-ranks documents at every opportunity in order to constantly provide the most optimal results. In another embodiment, the system determines, based on the similarity of results sets, if the current query belongs in the same information session as one or more previous queries. If so, the current query is expanded with additional keywords in order to improve the targeting of the results.

  • Patent number: 6587850
    Abstract: A novel approach for filtering documents involves the use of delivery ratio threshold setting technique to set an initial profile score threshold and the use of beta-gamma regulation for dynamic threshold updating. A group of documents is scored pursuant to a user profile. The score for each document is indicative of the relevance of the corresponding document to the user profile. The score can be compared with a profile score threshold to decide if the document should be accepted or rejected. According to one aspect of the invention, the initial threshold is set to a score threshold that approximates an expected ratio of acceptable documents calibrated with respect to a set of reference documents. According to another aspect of the invention, the score threshold can be updated based on the accumulated example documents, user's relevance judgment, and the user's utility function. The accumulated example documents are first scored against a profile and a ranked list of scored documents is obtained.
