Patent number: 9760570Abstract: A system and method for disambiguating references to entities in a document. In one embodiment, an iterative process is used to disambiguate references to entities in documents. An initial model is used to identify documents referring to an entity based on features contained in those documents. The occurrence of various features in these documents is measured. From the number occurrences of features in these documents, a second model is constructed. The second model is used to identify documents referring to the entity based on features contained in the documents. The process can be repeated, iteratively identifying documents referring to the entity and improving subsequent models based on those identifications. Additional features of the entity can be extracted from documents identified as referring to the entity.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2014Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Leonardo A. Laroco, Jr., Nikola Jevtic, Nikolai V. Yakovenko, Jeffrey Reynar

Patent number: 8924436Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer storage media, for populating a structured presentation with new values. One aspect can be embodied in machine-implemented methods that include the actions of obtaining a plurality of instances and a plurality of attributes; for each instance: identifying one or more documents from an unstructured document collection that are relevant to the instance, where each of the one or more documents include at least a value for an attribute in the plurality of attributes; and establishing a subset of the one or more values as characterizing the instance; and adding each instance, the respective attributes, and the respective subset of values to a structured data collection.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2013Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Vinicius J. Fortuna, Andriy Bihun, Leonardo A. Laroco, Jr., Daniel Loreto, Elena Erbiceanu, Jeffrey C. Reynar, Andrew William Hogue, Ankur Bhargava

Patent number: 8412749Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs stored on computer storage media, for populating a structured presentation with new values. One aspect can be embodied in machine-implemented methods that include the actions of receiving description data describing a preexisting structured presentation, comparing characteristics of the preexisting structured presentation with content of electronic documents in an unstructured collection of electronic documents to locate electronic documents that identify a new value that is relevant to the preexisting structured presentation, adding the new value to the preexisting structured presentation to form a new structured presentation, and outputting instructions for visually presenting the new structured presentation.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2009Date of Patent: April 2, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Vinicius J.
