Patents by Inventor Wendi Cui

Wendi Cui has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240143680
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for managing a search engine based on search performance metrics. An example method generally includes dividing a set of search history data into a first subset of search history data and a second subset of search history data. The first subset of data is associated with interaction with search results, and the second subset of data is associated with non-interaction with search results. A first quality score is generated for searches in the first subset of data. A second quality score is generated for searches in the second subset of data based on different search intents identified for each temporally related group in the second subset of data. An overall quality score is generated for a search engine, and one or more actions with respect to the search engine are taken based on the overall quality score.

  • Patent number: 11763080
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a boosted Latent Dirichlet Allocation model with predefined clusters and repelling force. Herein, clusters are pre-populated with seed words with amplified weights to predefine the characteristics of clusters. A repel force is also applied while assigning words to specific clusters in order to assign words more accurately to clusters in instances where clusters have similar characteristics. In addition to generating improved clustering of words, systems and methods may analyze words within queries to provide explainability output related to the performance of content or data.
