Definitions
- This disclosure relates to search tools, and more particularly to displayed searched results.
- prior-art search engines are primarily based on a keyword comparison.
- N is an integer.
- Keyword comparison search engines would return some Web pages that contain the key term "digital camera” and other Web pages that contain the key term "manufacturers". Therefore, the percentage of the total returned results that relate to digital camera manufacturers that are returned in keyword comparison search engines is relatively small.
- the keyword comparison search engine also has no way to compare whether a particular digital camera manufacturer is larger or better known (or some other quantifiable comparison) than another digital camera manufacturer based on their Web pages.
- prior-art search engines being primarily based on keyword comparisons, often lead to the large number of results many of which are marginally related to the query.
- Such keyword comparison search engines cannot identify the most applicable ones of a plurality of searched Web sites based on the structure of the Web sites.
- WordNet is an online lexical reference system. With WordNet, nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs are organized into synonym sets, each representing one underlying lexical concept. Different relationships link the synonym sets.
- WordNet users manually input their personal taxonomy relative to Web pages.
- WordNet is not suitably configured to keep up with the rapid growth and dynamic changes of Internet and other networked computer systems. For example, over half of the words in the Web do not appear in WordNet.
- the concept network can be generated in response to a user query.
- the concept network is being used with a search tool.
- the search tool searches a plurality of data storage locations. Each data storage location is arranged with a node. Certain ones of the nodes are connected by at least one link.
- the concept network selects a portion of certain ones of the nodes based on the link, wherein the at least one link is used for content purposes.
- Fig. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment of a computer environment including a concept network
- Fig. 2 is a block diagram of another embodiment of a Web site search portion that develops one embodiment of the concept network;
- Fig. 3 illustrates a block diagram of one embodiment of taxonomy construction for a domain that is used to establish a concept network
- Fig. 4 illustrates a perspective view of displayed results of a concept network as it may appear on a display of a computer environment
- Fig. 5 illustrates a flow chart of one embodiment of a Web Site Structure Analysis algorithm
- Fig. 6 illustrated a block diagram of one embodiment of a computer environment that may be used to derive or display a concept network to a user.
- concept networks In concept networks, the query is equated to a concept that is being searched. In concept networks, a plurality of search result information is structurally organized into a plurality of concepts that is displayed to the user.
- Concept networks retrieve and/or display search results (the search results are arranged based on the concepts) according to the relevancy of the search results to the various concepts of the query.
- Concept networks can be configured to allow users to access a variety of search results, a variety of contents of the search results, or a variety of portions of search results based on the relevancy of the search results to the user query.
- Such concept networks are generated in computer environments based on the query.
- One aspect of the term "concept network” relates to the grouping of concepts into the concept network in a fashion such that the concepts can be understood and accessed by the user.
- concept networks are particularly directed to the Internet, even though concept networks in general can be applied to any computer environment or computer system.
- a user may input a query, and the displayed output concept network might be a list of concepts that can be selected by the user.
- the displayed concept networks may include a variety of concepts such as cellular telephones, computers, audio systems, video systems, etc. The user could thereupon select one of these concepts displayed as the concept network to display more specific search results.
- One embodiment of the concept network includes a large connection graph displaying multiple interconnected concepts such as described relative to Fig. 3.
- the concept network as with search results from prior-art search engines, is derived based on user queries.
- Concept networks increase the accuracy of the response to a user query compared to prior art search engines.
- concept networks limit the large number of extraneous search results that are prevalent among prior-art search engines, the latter which rely on keyword queries.
- Fig. 1 illustrates a block diagram of an embodiment of a computer environment 50 that is configured to generate and display the concept network 100.
- the computer environment 50 can include an optional network portion 72 (although the computer can also be a stand-alone computer).
- the computer environment 50 includes a search tool 74 and a display tool 75. Portions of the search tool 74 and the display tool 75 include portions of one embodiment of the concept network 100.
- the concept network 100 is provided as a user interface by which a structured representation of the search results is displayed to the user, and the search results are structured, or arranged, according to concepts that can also be illustrated to the user to indicate the relevancy of each returned search result.
- the returned concept network as disclosed in this disclosure includes, e.g., a plurality of Web pages structurally arranged according to their content.
- the search to generate the concept network 100 relies on the information contained within the searched data (e.g., a Web page), as indicted by some structural feature of the searched data.
- the returned results of the concept network that is based on structure of the searched data
- the Fig. 1 computer environment 50 that includes the concept network 100 illustrates a generalized computer environment.
- the concept network is highly applicable in any type of computer environment that could use search engines including stand-alone computers, networked computers, or mainframe computers.
- this disclosure is described as being applicable to particular embodiments of computer environments.
- the concept network 100 is applicable to networks.
- one embodiment of the computer environment 50 that includes the concept network 100 includes a variety of Web pages arranged on Web sites across the Internet.
- certain embodiments of the concept network rely on servers that provide data forming the search results to the clients in networked computer environments such as the Internet.
- One embodiment of the structured representation of the search results that are displayed to the user is based on the Universal Resource Locator (URL) that is generally known to users of the Internet.
- URL Universal Resource Locator
- a user submitting a query will result in a related concept network 100, in which the displayed results are organized into a series of related concepts.
- a large variety of types of search results can be obtained based on a large variety of user queries.
- the present disclosure describes the generation of a variety of concept networks based on a large number of user queries.
- One illustrative example of a concept network is yielded by searching for the "top N" queries (those queries that ask for the top "N" of any category where N is an integer).
- concept network 100 yields meaningful results in searches for a complex concept, such as "explain electronics.”
- the concept network 100 is generated based on the concepts (not as with prior-art search engines that produce search results based on the actual keywords provided by the user's query).
- Concept networks 100 are generated in response to queries in a manner that they can provide more detailed and accurate information to the user.
- Certain embodiments of concept networks for example, are generated considering a considerable number of Web sites that relate to the concept posed by the query. The concept network considers the relevancy of each Web site to the concept provided by the query, and then relevant portions of a variety of Web pages are illustrated over the concept network to the user.
- the concept network 100 can display results from a variety of queries in a more organized and accurate fashion than prior-art search engines that rely on keyword query results.
- the fact that more directed and accurate query responses are included allows the concept network to deal with fewer Web pages in the display to the user.
- the relatively few Web pages that are generated by the concept network can then be organized according to their structure. For example, those Web pages that relate to one type of concept can be accessed through one portion of the concept network while those Web pages that relate to another type of concept can be accessed through another portion of the concept network.
- the concept network 100 therefore can contain the structure information relating to a large amount of retrieved information (such as Web sites, Web site content information, or portions of Web pages).
- the concept network 100 provides a number of improvements over listings of Web pages that are returned by most prior-art search engines. Certain embodiments of concept network 100 instead provide and display structured information that is arranged in an order on a Web page (that displays the concept network).
- the automatically generated and displayed concept network 100 as illustrated in Fig. 4, is in a form that can be readily understood, interpreted, and is more useful to the user.
- the concept network 100 generally improves the precision and speed of searches, as well as increases the relevancy of the information obtained during these searches compared to prior-art search engines.
- Concept networks 100 in general, display a considerable amount of information that is derived based on the structural information (e.g., format, links between nodes, etc.) of the data.
- this structural information is obtained based on the Universal Resource Locator (URL), although any device that contains structural information for the retrieved information can be used.
- the URL is currently used for navigational purposes to allow browsers to access particular Web pages over the Internet.
- the URL can also be used to provide structural information (that describes the relationship between different nodes) that is used as described in this disclosure to create concept networks. Examples of such structural information involve, for example, one node being an ancestor, an offspring, a sibling, or some other relation to another node.
- Such structural information is used by a variety of embodiments of concept networks 100 of structurally describe the relationship between different nodes within the concept network.
- Such structural information is used in the concept network 100 to provide a taxonomy, or classification, of words.
- the taxonomy of the concept network (as with prior-art search engines) relates to the meanings of particular words.
- Prior-art manual search engines have difficulty maintaining a current taxonomy, considering the large numbers of words that have changed meanings or are being added or removed within the search engine.
- Certain embodiments of the concept network provide an automatically constructed taxonomy that is adaptive to domains and users based on the structure of the Web sites accessed during the query. It is envisioned that concept networks 100, as disclosed herein, can be applied to a large variety of computer systems including, but not limited to: databases, online shopping, cameras, personal computers, handheld computers, machine learning, and computer manufacturing.
- the concept network 100 is designed to automatically keep itself up to date without any need for updating on behalf of the user.
- the concept network 100 is designed to automatically keep itself up to date without any need for updating on behalf of the user.
- keyword searches cache popular searches such as by using a Web site crawler.
- One embodiment of the concept network 100 will crawl all the Web sites relating to the collected concepts to keep the concept network up-to-date. The crawling process is envisioned to be similar to those processes performed by traditional search engines.
- the concept network 100 within a reasonable amount of time, is able to understand a large number of keywords of typical usage (including their structure) based on the taxonomy produced with the concept network. Using the taxonomy, the concept network displays the keywords in a structured fashion. As such, the concept network is capable of being used as a thesaurus since the concept network is able to interpret the meanings of words based on the taxonomy. The increased number of words in the taxonomy (i.e., dictionaries) of the concept network is therefore especially useful to users that are searching a computer environment such as a network or the Web for a specific technical, legal, or other such specialized word.
- the embodiment of the Web site search portion 201 includes an entrance page and crawler rales portion 202, a Web site structure analyzer 204, a Web page summarization portion 206, a Web site structure merging tool 208, and the concept network 100.
- the Web site structure analyzer 204 includes a hyperlink queue 212, a Web site crawler 214, an HTML parser 216, a Function-based Object Model (FOM) analyzer 218, and a hyperlink analysis 220.
- FOM Function-based Object Model
- the Web site structure analyzer 204 analyzes the structures of Web sites. Then a web merge tool (also referred to herein as the Web site structure merging tool 208 of Fig. 2 merges contents from different ones of the structuralized Web sites to yield the search results that can be displayed using the concept network. Links are used to navigate in traditional Web sites. To analyze the Web site content structure in order to create each concept network 100, the link is converted from being used for navigation to being used for content. To do this conversion, the following steps are performed. a) The structured information for each Web site is encoded in the URL. As such, a particular link is encoded in the URL irrespective to whether it is an upward link, a downward link, a sibling link, or a crosswise link.
- this distinguishing of the type of link is performed by the Web site crawler 214 by considering the visiting sequences of the Web site crawler.
- An aggregation and association analysis is performed. This aggregation and association analysis includes determining the locations of the hubs and the different authorities. In one embodiment, this can be performed by the FOM Analyzer 218.
- the information link and the navigation link are then distinguished. This identification is performed using a function-based object mode (FOM) to analyze the navigation bar, the navigation list, or the independent link. As such, the page layout is used to segment the Web page. In one embodiment, c) can be performed using the FOM Analyzer 218.
- FOM function-based object mode
- the concept network 100 is formed to contain structural information obtained from a variety of Web sites simultaneously.
- the information from this variety of Web pages can be organized in a manner on the concept network 100 that can be easily understood by the user. More particularly, similarly structured information from multiple Web sites can be displayed in the concept network 100 in a manner that presents quantifiable values from the structural information of the multiple Web pages (often based on the URL).
- Such structural information from the multiple Web pages can then be presented in a manner leading to comparison between the subjects of the different Web pages. For example, multiple companies or groups that deal with a particular industry or topic are likely to contain similar types of information in their Web pages in a similar structure.
- the concept network provides a vehicle to display this similar information from the different Web pages; or alternatively presents the different but related Web pages to be presented to the user in a manner that permits easy accessing of the different Web pages from the same concept network.
- the Web site structure analyzer 204 accepts as inputs the enter-point URL of a Web site and some Web site crawler rules from the entrance page and crawler rules portion 202.
- the URLs contain a variety of stractural information that relates to a particular Web page, (e.g., end points of the links, the type of Web page, etc.). This structure provided by the URL is not utilized by traditional search engines for deriving stractural information relating to the Web pages.
- the Web site structure analyzer 204 analyzes the Web site structure and assigns depth information to the Web pages. As a result, one embodiment of the Web site structure analyzer 204 generates a hierarchy graph of the Web site, whose nodes include concepts. The concepts derived by the concept network may be characterized by keywords as described in this disclosure. The Web site structure analyzer 204 leads to the use of a structuralized Web site.
- the Web-Site Structure Analyzer 204 is based on BFS (Breath First Search) algorithm.
- the Web-Site Structure Analyzer 204 maintains the Hyperlink Queue 212.
- the Web site crawler 214 fetches a URL from the hyperlink queue 212, then crawls the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) source code from the Internet using the Web site crawler 214, and then forwards the HTML source code to the HTML Parser 216.
- the hyperlink queue 212 is a queue including unanalyzed hyperlinks. Before the analysis begins, the Web site structure analyzer 204 attaches the enter-point URL. During the analysis, only the Web site crawler 214 fetches the URL from the hyperlink queue 212. Only the hyperlink analyzer 220 applies new unanalyzed hyperlinks.
- the enter-point URL of a Web site enters the Hyperlink Queue 212 of the Web site structure analyzer 204 from the entrance page and crawler rules portion 202.
- the Web site Crawler 214 fetches the URL from the Hyperlink Queue 212, then the Web site Crawler crawls the HTML source code from the Internet, and forwards the HTML source code to the HTML Parser 216.
- the HTML parser processes the HTML source code crawled from the Internet.
- the HTML Parser 216 accepts the HTML source code that is input from the Web site crawler 214.
- the activities of the HTML parser 216 includes URL fetching, URL unification, and URL grouping.
- URL fetching the HTML parser 216 fetches all URLs that point to a Web page and are inside the Web site according to the input Web site definition. Every URL is attached with anchor text. For image link, the anchor is surrounding text.
- one embodiment of the HTML parser 216 performs a variety of operations including: a) converting a relative URL address to a direct URL address; b) changing an IP address to a domain name; and c) solving the redirected URL problem by substituting the URL with the final target URL address.
- the hyperlinks in a table or list that have the same tag elements and same appearance are likely to be considered, for example, as related nodes.
- the results from the HTML parser 216 are then forwarded to the Function-based Object Model (FOM) Analyzer 218.
- the Function-based Object Model (FOM) Analyzer 218 uses the basic ideal and algorithm of FOM to assign functional information to hyperlinks.
- FOM represents a function-based object model for a Web page. Instead of semantic analysis, the FOM Analyzer 218 attempts to understand the authors' intention by identifying each object function and category. Each Web page can function as an index page or a content page. One category of the navigation object is the navigation bar. One embodiment of the FOM Analyzer 218 performs Index/content page recognition and Navigation bar detection as the following FOM analysis tasks.
- one embodiment of the FOM analyzer 218 determines whether the Web page URL includes the text "index" or "default", and whether the URL is a directory or whether it is an index page. If there is a link inside the page that corresponds to the subdirectory, this link is to the index page. The ratio of the hyperlinks and content words are compared to a threshold value. If the ratio is greater than the threshold value, the Web page is an index-page. If the threshold value is greater than the ratio, the Web page is a content-page.
- One embodiment of the FOM analyzer 218 provides navigation bar detection.
- the items in a navigation bar are inter-connected with each other and the corresponding link topology is a completely connected graph.
- the output of the FOM analyzer 218 includes a plurality of hyperlinks that are forwarded to the hyperlink analyzer 220.
- the FOM analyzer 218 provides a block segmentation for a Web page. In one embodiment, after segmentation, a Web page is divided into several small units based on their functions, such as content block, navigation block, advertisement block, etc. These small units can be individually accessed by the user.
- Hyperlink Analyzer 220 uses a Web site structure analysis algorithm to handle each hyperlink analyzed by (and transmitted from) the FOM analyzer 218.
- the parsed source code is forwarded to the FOM analyzer 218 to perform functional analysis.
- the Hyperlink Analyzer 220 analyzes each hyperlink according to Web-Site Structure Analysis Rules and the new unanalyzed hyperlinks are inserted into the Hyperlink Queue 212.
- the Hyperlink Analyzer 220 assigns a depth value to each Web page (and maintains the temporary hierarchy graph of Web site).
- the depth value can be outputted by the Web site crawler 214.
- the Web site crawler 214 visits the Web site by breath- first search.
- the traveling path will be formed as a tree format, the node of the tree is the Web page, and the links within the nodes are the hyperlinks within the Web pages. So the depth of a node in the tree is the value which we wanted to obtain. For example, the depth for an entry point Web page (such as the entry point page identified by the URL htt ://www.microsoft.com is 0. The depth for the Web page identified by the URL http://www.microsoft.corn/china, by comparison, is 1.
- the Web site structure analyzer 204 forms a loop that can be considered as starting and ending at the hyperlink queue 212.
- the Web site Crawler 214 fetches the next URL from the hyperlink queue 212 to begin the next loop. This is performed until the hyperlink queue 212 is empty of new URLs.
- the analysis process is accomplished and the hierarchy graph of Web site (called the structuralized Web site) is constructed.
- the structured information for each Web site is encoded in the URL in a manner that can be detected using the hyperlink analyzer 220.
- a heuristic rule based on URL block-length is used to detect an Upward-link and a Forward-link.
- a URL block-length is defined as a number of blocks, a block is a part of the URL separated by "/" or "?”. For instance, the URL block-length of the URL
- Hyperlink Detecting Rule is described according to two rales. The first rale is that if the URL block-length (hyperlink) is less than or equal to the URL block-length of the Web page, then the hyperlink is an Upward-link. The second rale is that if the URL block-length (hyperlink) minus URL block-length (URL of the Web page) is greater than or equal to 2, then the hyperlink is a Forward-link.
- the Web site structure is derived using the Web page summarization portion 206. For instance, a certain amount of data contained in a Web page may be relevant to a particular user's query, while other data is not relevant.
- the Web page summarization provides the relevant information in a form that can be displayed over a particular concept section within the concept network 100. Since the entirety of each Web page is not illustrated over the concept network, the concept network can provide a more directed summary of the information of each concept or Web page that can be accessed by the user.
- the varied contents of the different Web pages (or other contents) that are derived from the Web page summarization portion 206 are then merged into the concept network 100 using the Web site stracture merging tool 208.
- the Web site stracture is represented with a hierarchy graph.
- Certain embodiments of the concept network 100 analyze the structure of relevant Web sites, and thereupon merge the results together.
- This merging of the information from a plurality of Web sites is referred to in this disclosure as a web merge as performed by the Web site Stracture Merging Tool 208 as illustrated in Fig. 2.
- the web merge performed by the Web site Structure Merging Tool 208 improves the precision and speed of the concept network and is performed as follows.
- each Web site is structuralized into the "tree-like graph" or "depth- level graph"
- the next problem is to merge these graphs into a network.
- each node represents one concept and the links between these nodes represent the relationships between these concepts.
- the basic relationships may include, but are not limited to hypernyms, hyponyms, synonyms, etc. Since each Web site represent the original editor's view on the related topics, it is a little difficult to merge the different views into one view. So in the following, we give a solution to merge the concept hierarchy from all kinds of sources into one usable hierarchy.
- wf [w l , w i2 , ..., w im ] (1)
- w l j, w l2 , ..., w ⁇ m represent words
- n t represents the array of words n
- a gliding window is provided over the hierarchy tree to generate the sub- tree ST of the offspring, ancestor, and sibling respectively using (2), (3), and (4). It is assumed that some words appear in different windows.
- ST t ⁇ offspring) ⁇ n lt sonsjfa), ...,sons d ⁇ n$) (2)
- Equation (5) For each generated sub-tree (e.g. STXancestor) ), the mutual information of a term-pair is counted as Equation (5). The mutual information MI for each word pair w u w s is calculated. The mutual information having a high value indicates that the pair of words are similar.
- Mi(w W j is the mutual information of term w,- and W j ;
- Pr(w,.,w 7 ) stands for the probability that term w,- and w j appears together in the sub-tree;
- Pr(x) ⁇ x can be
- Wj orw f stands for the probability that term x appears in the sub-tree.
- entropy is used to measure the distribution of the term pair, as shown in step (d) d) Calculate the entropy for each word pair Wi, W j .
- the entropy conversion is a measure of the pair Wj, W j of words that were determined to be common, based on the mutual information determined in (5) actually being common in all of the Web sites. The higher the entropy is, the more confidence that the concept network can provide to the user that the word pairs among all of the Web sites.
- N entropy(w t , w, ) - ⁇ P r (w t , W j ) log P r (w, , w, ) (9)
- Table 2 illustrates a variety of exemplary Ancestor concepts:
- Table 3 illustrates a variety of exemplary Sibling concepts: Table 3: Sibling Concepts
- One embodiment of the concept network 100 as illustrated in Fig. 2 is provided as a directed graph that is illustrated in structural form in Fig. 3, and in a form that it may appear to a user in Fig. 4.
- the directed graph (G) 300 that the concept network is based on is described by (12):
- the concept network 100 as represented by the directed graph includes a plurality of nodes and a plurality of links or edges connecting the nodes.
- the nodes represent concepts.
- the edges or links represent the relationships between the concepts.
- the directed graph 300 as shown in Fig. 4 of the concept network 100 thereby provides the content stracture.
- the content structure of the Web pages is information mined to yield information that is used to produce the concept network.
- Fig. 3 illustrates one embodiment of a technique for constructing a taxonomy for a particular domain using the concept network 100.
- Fig. 3 starts with a derivation of one or more domain specific Web sites 302. This can be accomplished by leveraging an existing meta-search engine to do this job. For example, if a user desires to construct the concept network for "digital camera" domain, the user can send the query to search engine and use the top 100 Web sites to construct the concept network.
- Each Domain Specific Web site 302 includes stracture corresponding to an analysis of content (represented by the nodes) and an analysis of the link stracture (represented by the link stracture).
- Producing the concept network 100 relies on efficient mining of the content stracture of one or more Web sites. This mining can be performed by analyzing the link type, that determines whether the link is an offspring link, an ancestor link, or a sibling link such as described relative to the hyperlink analyzer 220 of Fig. 2. One of these link types is assigned to each link. The semantic of the node is then summarized using the Web page summarization portion 206 as shown in Fig. 2. In Fig. 3, the domain specific taxonomy is derived based on this information mining. Note that the derivation of the domain specific taxonomy is performed automatically in the present disclosure, compared to such prior-art tools as WordNet ® that require manual editor input for taxonomy.
- Wordnet is a manually constructed taxonomy for general domain. This taxonomy is constructed by editor instead of end-user. The information mining relies on the link stracture and the content of the domain specific Web sites. This differs from certain prior-art automatic thesauras constructions in which the information is mined from the content instead of link structure.
- the concept network 100 is then constructed using ontology learning. Based on the ontology learning, the automatically constructed concept network develops its own taxonomy.
- the ontology learning is based on a statistical framework, and is capable of yielding multiple editors' views. The statistical framework is easily applied to many statistical applications.
- the concept network 100 that is constructed as shown in Fig. 3 describes a variety of concept networks for electronics.
- the concept network 100 includes a variety of Web blocks 450, with each Web block representing a different category of electronics (e.g., an electronics product, an electronic category, and electronic device manufacturer, etc.). Each Web block is described by a keyword which is recognizable by users.
- Each sub Web block 454 can be considered as related to the primary Web block.
- the word “electronics” represents the primary Web block 452.
- the term “electronics” represents a good primary Web block 452 because this term appears in many Web sites pertaining to a variety of products (each of the variety of products may be considered as a sub Web block).
- a variety of sub Web blocks 454 including cameras and photos, audio and video, handheld, cell phones, computers, Sony , iPAQ , Palm , Accessories, and a variety of Compaq ® products
- Each web block is considered to be a concept that contains homogenous information within this disclosure.
- the term “concept network” therefore describes a network of multiple concepts, or Web blocks.
- Each Web block can be summarized by a keyword (such as camera, computers, and "Sony” as illustrated in Fig. 3).
- the subject of each sub Web block in Fig. 3 relates heavily to the primary Web block electronics, and can therefore be classified broadly under the concept "electronics".
- the concept network for electronics as illustrated in Fig. 3 contains many of these terms.
- the yielded concept network 100 illustrated in Fig. 3 may be considered as the end result that is automatically constructed.
- Each concept 402 includes information pertaining to at least one of the Web blocks 450 that has been generated in the manner, certain embodiments of which are illustrated in Fig. 3.
- the concept network 100 illustrated in Fig. 4 therefore contains a number of concepts 402 that are tiled on the display.
- the details of the concept network are relatively detailed as to the area of interest (in this instance "electronics"). For instance, several of the concepts, if selected by a user, bring the user to another concept network that may be narrower or broader than the concept network currently displayed. For instance, a user can transfer from an electronics concept network to a computer concept network.
- the concept network 100 needs only to search a sub-graph that expands from the node "digital camera". As such, the concept network is faster, and the number of returned irrelevant Web pages is reduced considerably.
- the concept network 100 increases the ease, speed, and reliability of the desired response to the query.
- the term "digital camera” is located in the concept network 100. All the nodes that are pointed to or pointed from the node "digital camera” are extracted. Then the nodes whose properties are "manufacturer” are selected, and ranked (e.g., based on hit numbers). As such, a query for the top N of any category (largest company, largest producer, most offices, nearest locations, etc.) of Web pages can be searched, and the probability of netting a reasonable number of accurate hits is greatly increased.
- Certain embodiments of the concept network 100 as described relative to Fig. 5 can provide a variety of search services that can search for some quantifiable parameter of the top "N" (where "N" is some positive number) organizations, companies, items, groups, products, etc. as listed on Web sites on the Internet. For example, certain embodiments produce a concept network 100 that provides a search result for a query to find out the top five digital camera manufacturers in the world. Another query provides the search results for another complex query such as indicating the top five steel producing companies in Europe.
- the "top N" type query analyzes and returns information based on the stracture of multiple Web sites. For example, one technique is to determine who are the top three automobile producers in the United States involves accessing the Web sites of all of the potential automobile producers, deriving similar production information from each Web site, and then comparing the derived production information from the different Web sites. As such, certain embodiments of the concept network 100 can search for detailed features within a Web page. Data mining is directed to such Web site analysis.
- data mining (sometimes called data or knowledge discovery) is the process of analyzing data from different perspectives and summarizing it into useful information to the user based on the query.
- Data mining software is one of a number of analytical tools for analyzing data. It allows users to analyze data from many different dimensions or angles, categorize it, and summarize the relationships identified.
- data mining is the process of finding correlations or patterns among dozens of fields in large relational databases, and is generally well known in queries.
- certain embodiments of the concept network can use data mining 306 as provided by Fig. 3 to derive a domain specific taxonomy 304.
- Fig. 5 illustrates one embodiment of a process 600 that results in producing the concept network.
- the process 600 includes 602 in which a user inputs a query into the computer environment 50 (as shown in Fig. 1). The query will result in the concept network being produced and displayed to the user.
- the query is submitted to a plurality of domain- specific Web sites 302 as described relative to Fig. 3 in 604. These Web sites are returned by a popular meta-search engines or human-built web hierarchy.
- the computer environment analyzes the Web site stracture, such as by considering the URLs of the associated Web sites.
- information is mined based on the stracture and content of the Web sites. The information mined is used to produce the domain specific taxonomy in 610 (as described relative to 304 in Fig. 3).
- the process 600 continues to 612 in which the concept network 100 is produced and displayed to the user.
- the concept network 100 is capable of being produced to return accurate responses to such queries as "explain the word: electronics" (which prior-art search engines can not perform). Such concept networks 100 are also generated (as is the case in the Fig. 5 query) by analyzing the stracture of the various Web sites and Web pages.
- One embodiment of the concept network saves the stracture information of Web sites, which represents the editor's view on the hierarchy of the concept. In the concept network 100, different editor's views are merged together, so users can determine what is the most popular explanation.
- Certain other embodiments of the concept network 100 can provide a query that have determined the best Web sites for performing a task such as explaining the word "electronics". This type of query can be considered a query to explain and/or compare.
- a number of Web sites have to be evaluated and compared by the concept network.
- One mechanism that is involved to produce such concept networks involves considering a large number of Web sites that relate to the issue posed by the query; somehow measurably considering the relevancy of each Web site as is performed by prior-art search engines, and then displaying to the user of the concept network relevant portions of the Web page.
- the Fig. 5 embodiment of process 600 can be used to perform this type of query as well.
- the concept network 100 is constructed by evaluating the stracture of each Web page or Web site considered.
- the prior-art search engines are not capable of deriving the stracture from the Web sites in order to perform these analyses (and therefore are not able to respond to such queries).
- the concept network considers those Web pages that are structured to provide enough information that is sufficiently directed at accurately describing the electronics topic.
- the concept network 100 is also very useful in query expansion.
- many Internet applications utilize the prior-art manual tool WordNet to expand the user's query to improve the precision of existing search engines.
- WordNet is built which is a labor-intensive job to construct (the thesauras) manually. Almost no Web site prefers to construct the thesauras by hand. The Web site operators prefer to automate thesauras construction. Manual thesauras construction by the user is not suitable for the rapid growth of the Internet. The number of documents in such networks as the Internet continue to grow. More and more new words and concepts continue appearing that highlight the usefulness of the concept network as described in the present disclosure.
- the concept network returns fewer, but more directed, results as compared to the prior-art search engines that rely on keyword comparison. As such, it becomes easier for a user to evaluate each result returned by the concept network. In addition, it becomes easier for a user to evaluate if a query is not returning the desired types of results, and therefore the user will be able to modify the original query to be more directed.
- a live thesauras (which the concept network can function as) is useful for Internet and other network searches.
- the concept network 100 not only contains the hierarchy of the concepts, but also contains the statistical information for these concepts. So it can be easily applied to some specific questions about popularity, such as a survey.
- the concept network 100 may be considered as providing an alternative thesaurus for the network users.
- the concept network 100 can be adapted to the client side as a personal thesauras. The user's browsing paths will generate a sub-space of the Web. A similar method can be applied to analyze the sub-space of the Web to generate the relationships of personal frequently used concepts.
- the concept network therefore provides for summarization for a Web page.
- Text over the hyperlink and the page title can be used as the summarization of a
- a natural language parse (NLP) technique can be integrated in the Web site search portion 201 (perhaps as a portion of the HTML parser 216) to summarize the document using some dominant keywords.
- NLP natural language parse
- the concept network can be considered as an Internet concept network built from the Web site by analyzing the stracture of a plurality of the Web sites and merging the analysis results.
- the concept network 100 may be especially useful for improving the precision and speed of search engine.
- the concept network extracts knowledge from Web site stracture rather than solely plain text contained within the Web site.
- the concept network provides automatic construction for a domain.
- the statistical results from a concept network reveal the general knowledge contained in a variety of Web sites. As such, the concept network not only obtains information from a particular
- the concept network can use ontology learning to maintain the stracture information relating to the Web sites. Therefore, as new Web pages and concepts are applied to the Internet, ontology allows the stractural information from the Web pages to be automatically integrated into the concept network.
- the concept network 100 can provide some services that common search engine can not do, such as "find out the Top N digital camera manufacturers in the world" and "explain the word: electronics".
- the concept network can also function as a live Internet thesauras for query expansion since it provides such a variety of sub Web blocks that are related to each other through a primary Web block as illustrated in Fig. 3.
