  • Patent number: 8401977
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying the importance of information areas of a display page. An importance system identifies information areas or blocks of a web page. A block of a web page represents an area of the web page that appears to relate to a similar topic. The importance system provides the characteristics or features of a block to an importance function that generates an indication of the importance of that block to its web page. The importance system “learns” the importance function by generating a model based on the features of blocks and the user-specified importance of those blocks. To learn the importance function, the importance system asks users to provide an indication of the importance of blocks of web pages in a collection of web pages.

  • Patent number: 8380722
    Abstract: This document describes tools for adjusting anchor text weight to provide more relevant search engine results. Specifically, these tools take advantage of a site-relationship model to consider relationships not only between an anchor text source site and a destination page but also relationships between multiple anchor text source sites to improve web searches. Consideration of these relationships aids in determining a new an anchor text weight, which in turn results in more relevant search results.

  • Publication number: 20120212862
    Abstract: A method and a device for limiting secondary arc current of an extra-high voltage/ultra-high voltage double circuit line on the same tower. The method comprises the following steps: determining the type of a single-phase-to-ground fault when the extra-high voltage/ultra-high voltage double circuit line on the same tower has a single-phase-to-ground fault (S501); selecting a reactance value of a neutral grounding reactor according to the type of the single-phase-to-ground fault (S502); and switching the extra-high voltage/ultra-high voltage double circuit line on the same tower to the selected reactance value of the neutral grounding reactor (S503). Thus the reactance value of the neutral grounding reactor is not constant, but is changed along with the operating conditions of the power transmission line, that is, the reactance value of the neutral grounding reactor is controllable.

  • Publication number: 20110191381
    Abstract: Described is a technology for efficiently labeling a webpage. A wrapper tool labels records of a webpage at the record level. If an existing wrapper exists that is appropriate for labeling a record, the wrapper tool automatically labels that record. For unlabeled records, the tool provides a user interface to label those records, and updates the set of existing wrappers with a new wrapper that is generated based upon the labeling operation; the new wrapper is then applied to any unlabeled records if appropriate for those records. As a result, a user typically needs only to label a relatively few records, with the wrappers generated for those records automatically used to label the other unlabeled records of the webpage.

  • Patent number: 7660804
    Abstract: A method and system for generating wrappers for hierarchically organized documents by jointly optimizing template detection and wrapper generation is provided. A wrapper generation system generates a wrapper for documents with similar templates by identifying a cluster of document trees and generating a wrapper tree for the cluster. A wrapper tree defines the wrapper for documents that match the template of the cluster. The wrapper generation system clusters document trees by generating a wrapper tree for the cluster based on an initial document tree. The wrapper generation system then repeatedly determines whether any other document tree matches or nearly matches the wrapper tree for the cluster and, if so, adds the document tree to the cluster and adjusts the wrapper tree as appropriate so that all the document trees, including the newly added one, match the wrapper tree.

  • Patent number: 7630964
    Abstract: A method and system for determining relevance of a document to a query based on identifier match distance is provided. The relevance system analyzes a training set of queries and documents to determine the relationship between identifier match distance and relevance of a document to a query. The identifier match distance indicates the distance from the end of an identifier of a document to an identifier term that matches a query term. The relevance system generates a prior relevance probability that a document with a certain identifier match distance is relevant to a query. The relevance system uses the prior relevance probabilities to determine relevance of documents to queries based on identifier match distance.
