Abstract: A Reasoning Graph is defined as a directed graph characterized by nodes that can be, but are not limited to, concepts, situations, conditions, events, and persons with edges between nodes if one node is a cause of another node (its effect). The Reasoning Graph is automatically generated by analyzing a large corpus text from a repository such as the Wide World Web and other sources. The analysis leads to creation of edges within the graph based on, for example, lexical and semantic analysis of the text. Nodes of the Reasoning Graph can be ranked according to eigenvalue analysis of the connectivity matrix associated with the Reasoning Graph, including through application of both random as well as reasoning surfer models.

Abstract: Internet search engines sometimes provide Internet search results referencing webpages that do not contain all search term elements submitted by a user. The user may then click on such Internet search results where the referenced webpages do not contain an important search term element. The present invention is directed to annotating Internet search results to indicate missing search term elements. This facilitates the user to avoid clicking on an Internet search result where the user's search term elements are not present on the referenced webpage, and thereby prevents wasting the user's time. Furthermore, frequently, search term elements are missing on a webpage referenced by an Internet search result but are found on a descendant webpage thereof. Accordingly, the present invention is further directed to annotating an Internet search result consistent with the presence or absence of search term elements on both a referenced webpage and one or more descendant webpages.

The two distributions may further depend on a baseline noise level of blank samples. With these two distributions, the significance model, for a particular stratification, more accurately predicts the likelihood of a false positive for a called variant.
