Abstract: Systems and methods facilitate a search and identify documents and associated metadata reflecting content of the documents. In one implementation, a method receives a query comprising a set of search terms, identifies a stored document in response to the query, and determines a score value for the retrieved document based on a similarity between one or more of the query search terms and metadata associated with the identified document. The method locates the identified document in a citation network of baseline query results, the citation network comprising a first set of documents that cite to the identified document and a second set of documents cited to by the identified document. The method further determines a new score value of the identified document as a function of the score value and a quantity and a quality of documents within the first and second set of documents.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for normalizing strings and for matching records. In one implementation, a string is tokenized into components. Sequences of tags are generated by assigning tags to the components. A sequence of states is determined based on the sequences of tags. A normalized string is generated by normalizing the sequence of the states. A key record including key fields is extracted from a first data source. A candidate record including candidate fields is extracted from a second data source. A numerical record including numerical fields is computed by comparing the key fields and the candidate fields using comparison functions. Matching functions determined by an additive logistic regression method are applied to the numerical fields. Whether the key record and the candidate record are a match is determined based on a sum of results of the matching functions.
