Publication number: 20200034379Abstract: A method for recommending a plurality of alternate search keywords is provided. The method may include executing a first search query using a plurality of user-entered search text. The method may also include identifying a highest contribution keyword to a plurality of search results of the executed first search query. The method may further include identifying a highest correlation alternate keyword to the identified highest contribution keyword. The method may also include creating an alternate keyword group by replacing the identified highest contribution keyword with the identified highest correlation alternate keyword.

Patent number: 10528608Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer implemented method of improving queries. The method includes performing a query on a document set, wherein documents that satisfy the query comprise a first subset of the document set and documents that do not satisfy the query comprise a complement subset. Thereafter, calculating a correlation for all terms in the complement subset, with respect to the complement subset. Thereafter determining a set of top correlated terms. A set of bottom correlated terms is determined. The set of top correlated terms and bottom correlated terms are presented to generate an improved query.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2016Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Mihoko Hasegawa, Ryoji Kurosawa, Kensuke Matsuoka, Fumihiko Terui

Publication number: 20190311015Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for improving the quality of subsequent searches. A request is received from a user to perform a search using the term(s) provided by the user. A search is then performed using the provided term(s). A representation of the search result is depicted as an area (e.g., bubble) with terms of interest displayed outside the area. The area represents a set of documents that were found in the performed search and the terms of interest represent terms that may be of interest to the user based on this set of documents. These terms of interest may be selected by the user to adjust the search result. In this manner, the user is presented with an intuitive view as to how different terms or different searches will have an impact on the search results thereby improving the quality of subsequent searches.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2019Publication date: October 10, 2019Inventors: Mihoko Hasegawa, Ryoji Kurosawa, Kensuke Matsuoka, Fumihiko Terui

Patent number: 10394754Abstract: A method and indexing system indexes the content of a body of documents into a content index, and the metadata of the documents into a metadata index which is a parallel index to the content index. The metadata is copied into a data store that is easily accessible by the indexing system and is stored in native form. The indexing system can dynamically re-index the metadata from the native metadata in the data store to produce a new metadata index which is used to replace the original metadata index. Search queries received by a search engine associated with the indexing system are applied to both the content and metadata index and the results are merged for return.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: David O. Been, Michael Busch, Osamu Furusawa, Frederick S. Grennan, Fumihiko Terui, Justo L. Perez

Publication number: 20190042792Abstract: A first character string in a logic, wherein the logic is a rule which analyzes input text and extracts additional information used for the text analysis, used for the text analysis with a second character string which is different form the first character string is replaced using a mapping between the first character string and the second character string. The first character string being a character or a combination of characters in a logic. A first character string is searched for in a target document for the text analysis and the first character string, if found, is replaced with the second character string, using the mapping. The logic is sent after the replacement to a server computer. The target document after the replacement is sent to the server computer. A text analysis result for the target document after the replacement is received form the server computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2018Publication date: February 7, 2019Inventors: Daisuke Hayashi, Sayaka Tamai, Keisuke Nitta, Fumihiko Terui
