Abstract: Described is using context information obtained from entity mentions in likely relevant documents to extract entity mentions from documents that are ambiguous with respect to their relevance to a domain. A list of entities is input into an entity extraction mechanism, which processes a large collection of documents to determine data (counts) corresponding to frequency of entity mentions. Infrequently mentioned entities are specific entities, while frequently mentioned entities are non-specific (generic or ambiguous) entities. The context surrounding mentions of the specific entities is processed to obtain interesting context terms (words, phrases or both) for the domain. The interesting context terms are then compared against the contexts of non-specific entity mentions to determine whether each non-specific entity mention is relevant to the domain. A result set containing only relevant documents or relevant mentions collection is output.

Abstract: Query classification techniques attempt to classify user search queries in order to better understand user search intent. Understanding a user's search intent allows search engines to provide relevant content tailored to the user's interest. Unfortunately, current classification techniques do not take into account contextual information. Accordingly, as provided herein, a target query may be classified based upon contextual information. In particular, features may be extracted from contextual information and/or other sources. For example, features may be extracted from the target query, related queries, and/or invoked search results of the related queries. In this way, the target query may be classified based upon other queries performed by the user and/or search results of the queries the user found interesting. In addition, a CRF model may be utilized in classifying the target query by providing generalized parameters learned from labeled query sessions.

Abstract: An image processing system inputs a captured image of a scene viewed from a vehicle in a predetermined road section and an image-capturing position at which the image is captured. The system uses a given position in the predetermined road section as a specific position, and sets a target vehicle movement amount at the specific position, for passing through the predetermined road section. The system generates reference image data from the captured image obtained at the specific position. The system generates reference data that is used when scenic image recognition is performed, by associating the reference image data with the specific position and the target vehicle movement amount at the specific position, and generates a reference data database that is a database of the reference data.
