  • Patent number: 9317613
    Abstract: A system and method is described for large scale entity-specific classification of each entity-specific set of candidates in a collection of candidates for each specific entity in a collection of entities. The collection of entities may comprise a specific category or domain of entities (e.g. schools, restaurants, manufacturers, products, events, people). Candidates may comprise webpages or other resources with resource identifiers. Entity specific sets of candidates may be found by leveraging search engine query results and user interaction therewith for queries based on entity-specific attributes. The relationship(s) or class(es) for which candidate resources are being classified relative to a specific entity may comprise an authoritative, official home page (OHP), or other class (e.g. fan page, review, aggregator) relative to a specific entity. A feature generator generates entity-specific features for candidates.

  • Patent number: 8412652
    Abstract: After receipt of a training and execution plan, a trainer operator is automatically trained based on specified training documents so as to generate a new trained operator for extracting information from documents. The new trained operator is a new version of the trainee operator. Both trainee operators are automatically retained for later use in extracting information from one or more unknown documents. After receipt of the training and execution plan, the new trained operator is automatically executed on one or more unknown documents so as to extract information from such one or more unknown documents.

  • Publication number: 20100227301
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatus for extracting information from one or more documents. A training and execution plan is received, and such plan specifies invocation of a trainer operator for initiating training of a trainee operator based on a set of training documents so as to generate a new trained operator that is to then be invoked so as to extract information from one or more unknown documents. The trainee operator is configured to extract information from one or more unknown documents, and each training document is associated with classified information. After receipt of the training and execution plan, the trainer operator is automatically executed to train the trainee operator based on the specified training documents so as to generate a new trained operator for extracting information from documents. The new trained operator is a new version of the trainee operator.
