  • Modification of relational models
    Patent number: 8032478
    Abstract: Described herein is a system that facilitates modifying a relational model. The relational model is modified based at least in part upon an identity of a user, and the modified relational model is used to predict queries or advertisements that are of interest to the user. Examples of relational models that are modifiable include a Markov Logic Network, a probabilistic relational model, a BLOG relational model, a structural logistic regression relational model, a relational dependency network, or a probabilistic entity relationship model.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 2010
    Date of Patent: October 4, 2011
    Assignee: Microsoft Corporation

  • Modification of relational models
    Patent number: 7849025
    Abstract: Described herein is a system that facilitates modifying a relational model. The system includes a first model component that is a relational model that includes a plurality of atoms. The system further includes a modifier component that automatically assigns values to a plurality of atoms in the relational model by clustering atoms of the relational model to create a second model component, wherein the second model component is a relational model.

  • PREDICTION OF INFORMATIONAL INTERESTS
    Publication number: 20090187540
    Abstract: Described herein is a system that includes a receiver component that receives an indication that a user has accessed a search engine to initiate a search session. An analyzer component predicts informational interests of the user upon receipt of the indication and outputs an informational item that corresponds to the predicted informational interests of the user, wherein the analyzer component is configured to output the informational item prior to the user issuing a query to the search engine.
