20100082627 | OPTIMIZATION FILTERS FOR USER GENERATED CONTENT SEARCHES - Embodiments are directed towards filtering from a user generated content (UGC) search result those documents determined to have insufficient subject matter specificity as defined by a training of a classification filter. The training comprises selecting a set of UGC that is definable as having sufficient subject matter specificity (a good set), and another set of UGC that is definable as having insufficient subject matter specificity (a bad set). The trained UGC classifier may examine search documents, and based on the documents having values above a defined threshold categorize the document as having sufficient subject matter specificity (or not). Those documents having insufficient subject matter specificity based on their determined thresholds may be filtered out of the submitted UGC search results. The documents remaining within the UGC search results may then be provided to a searcher for display at a client device. | 04-01-2010 |

20110208741 | AGENT-BASED CLUSTERING OF ABSTRACT SIMILAR DOCUMENTS - A continuous, emergent, anytime process clusters input documents according to a similarity function within a node-based, distributed computing environment, for example, within a client/server environment. An agent (DAg) assigned to each document determines whether its document should remain at a node or be moved to another node to increase similarity clustering. An agent (SAg) assigned to each node may be operative to manage storage requirements within its node, and/or manage communications between the nodes of the environment as the DAgs operate. Typically a move request is issued to another node if it is determined that clustering would increase by moving a document to that node. In such an instance, the SAg assigned to that other node would probabilistically consider the move request in view of other such requests in sequence to avoid overloading. To enhance performance, documents may be preprocessed and given values representative of similarity. The similarity between two arbitrary documents may then assessed as the average difference between the values assigned to the same attribute in the two documents. | 08-25-2011 |
