Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of information searching and browsing, and more particularly to a system and method for enhancing searches and recommending documents in a collection through the use of bookmarks shared among a community of users.
- the World Wide Web is a loosely interlinked collection of documents (mostly text and images) located on servers distributed over the Internet.
- each document has an address, or Uniform Resource Locator (URL), in the exemplary form "http://www.server.net/directory/file.html".
- URL Uniform Resource Locator
- http: specifies the protocol by which the document is to be delivered, in this case the "HyperText Transport Protocol.”
- the "www.server.net” specifies the name of a computer, or server, on which the document resides; "directory” refers to a directory or folder on the server in which the document resides; and "file.html" specifies the name of the file.
- HTML HyperText Markup Language
- hotlinks or “links” to other documents to be placed within the document, among other things.
- "Hotlinking” allows a user to navigate between documents on the Web simply by selecting an item of interest within a page. For example, a Web page about reprographic technology might have a hotlink to the Xerox corporate web site. By selecting the hotlink (often by clicking a marked word, image, or area with a pointing device, such as a mouse), the user's Web browser is instructed to follow the hotlink (usually via a URL, frequently
- bookmarks or “favorites” (collectively referred to as “bookmarks” in this document). Bookmarks allow a user to
- Bookmarks can be thought of as "pointers" to content on
- a user's bookmarks are stored and maintained in a special HTML file stored on the user's local machine.
- This file includes a list of sites represented as title and URL pairs (in a user-defined hierarchy, if desired).
- the user's entire set of bookmarks is contained within a single HTML file.
- Recent versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer store user bookmarks (or "favorites," using Microsoft's preferred terminology) as individual files on the local machine's file system. Each favorite is a small file containing the site's URL, while the favorite's title is stored as the filename.
- the URLs to search for words within the titles or URLs; and often to derive some additional information about the bookmarks, such as the date and time of the user's most-
- bookmark facilities of Web browsers act as a "filter" for those
- bookmarks have the distinct limitation that they are only useful to the extent a user has seen the sites before, since adding a bookmark to a collection is a manual act, typically performed when either the desired page is already being viewed or a URL has been manually received from another person.
- bookmarks can be exported to a public web page, allowing others to view and use the bookmarks, but that in itself does not provide any additional functionality.
- search engine serves as an index into the content stored on the Internet.
- search engines There are two primary categories of search engines: those that include documents
- search engine that incorporates several recommendation-system-like features. It operates in a similar manner to traditional keyword-based search engines, in that a search begins by the user's entry of one or more search terms used in a pattern- matching analysis of documents on the Web. It differs from traditional keyword-based search engines (such as AltaVista), in that search results are ranked based on a metric of page "importance," which differs from the number of occurrences of the desired search terms (and simple variations upon that theme).
- Google's metric of importance is based upon two primary factors: the number of pages (elsewhere on the Web) that link to a page (Le., "inlinks,” defining the retrieved page as an "authority"), and the number of pages that the retrieved page links to (Le., "outlinks,” defining the retrieved page as a "hub”).
- a page's inlinks and outlinks are weighted, based on the Google-determined importance of the linked pages, resulting in an importance score for each retrieved page.
- the search results are presented in order of
- Google's page importance metric is based on the pattern of links on the Web as a whole, and is not limited (and at this time cannot be limited) to the preferences of a single user or group of users.
- CLEVER uses page content (e.g., the words surrounding
- CLEVER does not use its own database of Web content; rather, it uses an external hub, such as an index built by another search engine, to define initial communities of documents on the Web. From hubs on the Web that frequently represent people's interests, CLEVER is able to identify communities, and from those communities, identify related or important pages.
- Direct Hit is a service that cooperates with traditional search engines (such as
- HotBot attempting to determine which pages returned in a batch of results are interesting or important, as perceived by users who have previously performed similar searches.
- Direct Hit tracks which pages in a list of search results are accessed most frequently; it is also able to track the amount of time users spend at the linked sites before returning to the search results. The most popular sites are promoted (Le., given higher scores) for future searches.
- Alexa is a system that is capable of tracking a user's actions while browsing. By doing so, Alexa maintains a database of users' browsing histories. Page importance is derived from other users' browsing histories. Accordingly, at any point (not just in the
- Alexa can provide a user with information on related pages, derived from overall traffic patterns, link structures, page content, and editorial suggestions.
- Knowledge Pump a Xerox system, provides community-based recommendations by initially allowing users to identify their interests and "experts" in the areas of those
- Knowledge Pump is then able to "push" relevant information to the users based on those preferences; this is accomplished by monitoring network traffic to create profiles
- Knowledge -Pump does not presently perform any enhanced search and retrieval actions like the search- engine- based systems described above.
- the present system and method facilitate searching and recommending resources, or documents, based upon a collection of user document preferences shared by a large group of users.
- the invention leverages several of the key properties of document collections: only valuable documents are bookmarked; documents are usually categorized into a hierarchy; and documents can be shared.

- the present invention leverages several of the key properties of document collections: only valuable documents are bookmarked; documents are usually categorized into a hierarchy; and documents can be shared.
- system combines some attributes of bookmark systems, as discussed above, with some attributes of search engines and recommendation systems, also discussed above.
- the present system and method maintain a centralized database of bookmarks or
- This centralized database is maintained as a hierarchy, with individual users' bookmarks maintained separately from other users' bookmarks. However, the maintenance of the centralized database facilitates harnessing the power and
- the system and method of the present invention allows for several operations to be performed, including enhanced search and retrieval enhanced subject-matter-based recommendation generation (for both documents and groups), and automatic document categorization and summarization.

- a bookmark system can be implemented as set forth in Fig. 1.
- the exemplary system includes at least one user 110, and typically a plurality of users 110, 112, 114, and 116.
- Each user 110-116 is coupled to a document repository 118, such as the Internet (or the World Wide Web), a corporate Intranet, a library, or any other collection of documents.
- Documents in this context, refers to any data file containing information readable by a machine or a human; the term includes (but is not limited to) text files, formatted text files, bitmapped image files (including images representing text-based documents), vector-based image files, sound files, multimedia files, and any other data files of possible interest. Documents may be static or dynamically
- the repository is generated based on information in the URL or other request presented to access the document as well as other contextual information, such as the time of day.
- 118 may be situated on distributed servers such as Web servers on the Internet, a single
- a group of dedicated servers such as a corporate information center, or a single host server. Also in communication with the repository 118 (and the users 110-116) is a
- bookmark database 120 maintains a set of bookmarks for each user 110-116; each user may maintain
- bookmark database 120 private bookmarks, which are shielded by the database 120 from the other users, as well as public bookmarks, which are made available by the database 120 for various uses by other users.
- the specific operation of the bookmark database 120 will be set forth in additional detail below.
- a user's primary interaction with the bookmark database 120 takes place through a main bookmark window 210 (Fig. 2) provided by the user's browser 122 (Fig. 1).
- the illustrated bookmark window 210 includes a list of bookmarks 212, a list of categories
- a data entry area 218 is also provided, and will be discussed in further detail below.
- the user 110 can access bookmarks within the list 212 in several possible ways.
- a single bookmark e.g., the White House bookmark 220
- the user's browser 122 By “clicking" on the text of a single bookmark (e.g., the White House bookmark 220), the user's browser 122 will open a new window and bring up the document referenced by the bookmark 220, in this case the White House's Web site.
- the bookmark 220 By "dragging" the bookmark 220 into an existing browser window, the browser 122 will bring up the document in that window.
- the system in its preferred embodiment, logs the event of accessing the bookmark 220 to facilitate tracking frequency and recency of use for all
- the first column 222 is reserved for an icon representing that a particular document is presently unavailable. For example,
- an unavailability icon 228 is shown next to the "This is a Bad Link" bookmark; the system is able to alert the user that no such document exists without the need for the user to manually verify the site's availability. In one embodiment of the invention, the system is able to recommend alternative documents when a preferred document is unavailable; that capability will be discussed in further detail below.
- the second column 224 is reserved for an icon representing that a particular document is new or has been revised within the last thirty days.
- a newness icon 230 is shown next to the Infoseek bookmark; the presence of that icon in the presently implemented and illustrated embodiment tells the user that the Infoseek main page (the one referenced by the bookmark) has been updated recently, within the last thirty days.
- the newness icon 230 can be used in combination with the recency-of-access tracking performed by the invention, thereby alerting the user that a document has been updated since the user last accessed or viewed the document.
- the third column 226 is reserved for an icon representing the popularity of a particular document.
- a popularity icon 232 is shown next to the AltaVista bookmark because that bookmark is present in over 50% of all users'
- bookmark collections The popularity icon 232 can thus be an indication of the quality of the information likely to be found in the document, since other users are also relying upon it. Although the currently implemented and illustrated embodiment uses 50% (over all
- the threshold percentage may be made a user-definable preference, or may be
- each icon is explained via a pop-up message when the user's mouse pointer (or other selection tool) is positioned over the icon. For example, by positioning the mouse pointer over the unavailability icon 228, a "Document Unavailable" message would be presented to the user.
- the icons in columns 222, 224, and 226 are presented to each user on the basis of information tracked and maintained by the bookmark database 120.
- the database 120 tracks availability and newness for each bookmark in the background, without user intervention, to achieve some efficiencies that would not otherwise be possible when each user maintains a separate local collection of bookmarks.
- the information on availability and newness can be updated for the benefit of plural users at one time through one simple attempted access operation by the bookmark database 120. For example, it is likely that many (or even all) of the users of the system will have a bookmark for "Yahoo! The availability and newness of that site can be tracked once by the database 120; the information can then be propagated to each user through multiple instances of the main bookmark window 210.
- a user's bookmarks can be divided into categories (such as
- the list 212 shown in Fig. 2 is the "top level” list in user cwixon' s hierarchy, as illustrated by the "slash" 234 presented after the user's screen name 214. This is consistent with the traditional Unix-like method for specifying hierarchies of
- the user 110 can access the other categories in the list 213 by clicking on those category names.
- the list of bookmarks 212 will be replaced with a different list taken from the chosen category (such as News or Weather in the illustrated example), and the slash 234 will be followed by the name of the chosen category.
- the user 110 can return to the top level (or any intermediate level) by clicking on the screen name 214 or any following category name.
- the main bookmark window 210 contains a notation 236 that the displayed category (in this case, the top-level category) is private. When that is the case, only the user 110 that owns (Le., contributed) the list 212 can access those bookmarks. By selecting a "Publish" button 238 in the data entry area 218, the user 110 can make those bookmarks available to all users; otherwise, the bookmarks in the category remain private.
- a user can choose to publish any category of bookmarks (or even a single bookmark or selection of bookmarks) to the community of users as a whole, or only to selected groups of users. The concept of groups will be
- main bookmark window 210 shows the bookmarks for a single user, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, it is also possible to browse, view,
- the ordinary "add" function of the main bookmark window 210 will cause a confirmation window (Fig. 5, described below) to appear before a bookmark is added via the drag-and-drop method.
- a search text-entry box 242 is also provided in the data entry area 218. By typing one or more keywords into the text-entry box 242 and pressing "Enter,” the system will search for bookmarks containing (either in the title or in the URL) the requested keywords. By selecting a "Search F*ublic Bookmarks" option 244, the search can be extended to all users' public bookmarks (see Fig. 4, described below).
- the main bookmark window 210 also provides a command selection drop-down listbox 246; the contents of the command selection listbox 246 are shown in Fig. 3.
- the user can add bookmarks, separators, and categories; import and export bookmarks between the bookmark system of the invention and, for example, Netscape's internal bookmark system (described in the background section above), edit the user's preferences (such as password, e-mail address, etc.); log
- Fig. 4 is a search results window 410 illustrating a sample set of
- the search results window 410 includes a list 412 of bookmarks containing, either in the title or URL, the word "internet.”
- the exemplary search was performed with the "Search Public Bookmarks" option 244 selected, so the list 412 can include bookmarks from all users.
- the category in which each bookmark in the list 412 was found is presented next to the corresponding bookmark. For example, an "Internet Info" bookmark 414 was found in some user's "Internet” category; for privacy reasons, the user's identity is concealed.
- the user can click or drag bookmarks from the search results window 410 to access the documents referenced by the bookmarks in the list 412. Fig.
- FIG. 5 illustrates an "Add New Bookmark” window 510 used by the user interface of the presently implemented embodiment of the invention. As shown, in its empty form, this window 510 is accessed by selecting the "add bookmark" command from the command selection listbox 246 (Fig. 2). The user 110 can then manually select a category

- Fig. 6 represents a bookmark editing window 610 presented by the user interface of the presently implemented embodiment of the invention. This window 610 is accessed
- a list 614 of bookmarks to be edited is presented within the editing window 610; the bookmarks are preceded by a column of checkboxes 616 available to indicate which bookmarks are to be edited.
- a "Select None” button 618 or a “Select All” button 620 none or all of the checkboxes 616 will be selected, respectively. Editing operations, as indicated by the remaining buttons within the editing window 610, can then be performed on the selected bookmarks. For example, after selecting one or more bookmarks, pressing a "Delete” button 622 will remove the selected bookmarks from the list 614 (and from the list 212 in the main bookmark window 210).
- a "Move to" button 624 and corresponding category selection listbox 626 are provided to move one or more selected bookmarks to a different category. Finally, a "Move Bookmarks to Top" button

- Fig. 8 illustrates schematically a similar breakdown of documents on the Internet.
- the millions of documents available on the Internet are represented by 24 exemplary documents 810. While there are many, many documents available, only a small portion of them 812 are typically used or accessed by a community of users. And of those accessed, only a small number are preferred and bookmarked 814.
- the distillation of the entire Internet down to those documents that are bookmarked 814 is a powerful two-step filter that tends to pull out only the most relevant, interesting, and valuable documents.
- a community of users' bookmarks are shared, other users' efforts in locating useful documents can work to the entire community's advantage through a system according to the invention.
- the browser 112 can be used relatively passively, to collect user input and pass it along to the database 120 for processing.
- This presently preferred mode of operation is illustrated as a block diagram in Fig. 9.
- a user's system or terminal 910 hosts a Web browser 912 such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer; the browser 912 is able to interpret both HTML and JavaScript (or another HTML-embeddable scripting language) by way of an HTML interpreter 914 and a JavaScript interpreter 916.
- the user's system 910 also includes an input device 917 allowing the user to interact with the system 910, as well as some storage space 918.
- the user's system 910 and browser 912 receive display information and scripts (arrow 920) from the database 922; the browser 912 simply passes along user input (arrow 924) to the database 922. Essentially all processing is performed at the database 922 by way of a bookmark server 926 and a data processor 928. The details of the processing will be discussed below in conjunction with Figure 11.
- a user's system or terminal 1010 hosts a Web browser 1012, which in turn includes an HTML interpreter 1014 and a language interpreter 1016.
- the language interpreter 1016 is able to receive and execute computer programs in a high-level language such as Java; most modern Web browsers include that capability.
- this system also includes a user input device 1017 and temporary storage 1018.
- the browser 1012 receives bookmark data and a shared bookmarks ("SBM") computer program (arrow 1020) from the database 1022 at the
- the SBM program allows the user's system 1010 to perform many of the operations disclosed herein (except for those that require large amounts of data in the database). For example, a user's bookmark collection can be maintained and
- the modified bookmark collection (and any other collected information) is transferred back (arrow 1024) to the database 1022 for
- the persistent data maintained by the shared bookmark system is kept at the database 120 (Fig. 1); the user's local storage 124 is used only for temporary storage during a session. Accordingly, if the user 110 wishes to access the Internet 118 from a different terminal 126, the shared bookmark system is still operational (provided the user is able to log in using a memorized screen name and password) because all necessary data is received from the database 120 at the beginning of a session, and sent back to the database 120 at the conclusion of the session. Any custom software required, other than the Web browser, is downloaded from the server 120 to the alternate terminal
- bookmark-processing program and a potentially large collection of bookmarks do not need to be downloaded from the database 120 to the user 110 at the beginning of each
- Figure 11 illustrates the steps performed in the passive client-side embodiment of the invention (illustrated in block form in Fig. 9).
- the system operates by simply awaiting user input (step 1110), transmitting that user input from the user's system 110 to the database 120 (step 1120), receiving a response from the database 120 (step 1130), and refreshing the display (step 1140) according to specific HTML and JavaScript instructions received from the database 120.
- the specific operations on the database side of the system typically represent simple data manipulation operations, which will not be described further. To the extent those operations are more complicated or contain novel steps, they will be described in further detail below.
- Figure 12 illustrates the steps performed in the active client-side embodiment of
- the system operates by the user 110 initially receiving the shared bookmark program and bookmark collection from the
- the user's system then awaits user input (step 1220) and
- step 1230 processes the input (step 1230) to determine if it requires the processing resources of the database 120. If the user input comprises a query (step 1240) involving other users' bookmarks, the query is transmitted (step 1250) to the database 120 and a response is
- the user's bookmark collection is updated (step 1270) as specified in the shared bookmark program. In both cases, the display is then refreshed (step 1280) to reflect the operation, regardless of whether it was performed locally or remotely.
- the user's system 110 transmits back to the database 120 all necessary updated information, including any changes to the user's bookmark collection and any logged events (such as bookmark accesses) used by the invention to determine frequency and recency of use.
- the database 120 performs certain operations in the background maintain the bookmark collections of its users; those operations are set forth in Fig. 13. For reasons set forth in detail above, the database 120 monitors changes (step 1310) for each document referred to in each user's bookmark collection. This operation can be performed on a regular basis, for example hourly or daily. For the presently implemented and preferred embodiment of the invention, an icon indicates to the user whether a document has been updated within the last thirty days (see Fig. 2), so a daily check for updates is sufficient. To accomplish this task, the database 120 can keep either a cached copy of the document referred to (thereby enabling word-for-word comparisons
- the database 120 also monitors the availability (step 1320) for each document
- each user's bookmark collection can also be performed on a regular basis.
- an icon indicates to the user whether a document is available (see Fig. 2).
- the database periodically attempts to access each document, and if an HTTP error (such as "404 Not Found") or no data is returned, the document is marked unavailable for all users who have the bookmark in their collection. Unavailable documents are checked again at a later time.
- the database 120 monitors the popularity (step 1330) for each document referred to in each user's bookmark collection by periodically determining how many users, out of the total number of system users, have a bookmark in their collection. This information is also represented by an icon (see Fig. 2). As stated above, various other metrics of popularity are trackable by the system, such as frequency and recency of access. Every time a bookmark is used by a user to access a document, the time, date, and nature of that access is logged. Accordingly, the system is able to use various popularity metrics in the enhanced searching and recommendation operations discussed below.
- Metadata is extracted from documents by the
- such metadata may include information on the date and time a document was created, the author of the document, search keywords, and many other possible items of data that are typically concealed when
- a user views a document. This information can optionally be kept with bookmarks in the database 120 to facilitate further search options.
- the contents of documents referred to by users' bookmarks are summarized (step 1350) and stored at the database 120.
- steps 1350 the contents of documents referred to by users' bookmarks are summarized (step 1350) and stored at the database 120.
- summarization is not performed in the background, it can be specifically performed at the time of a search or upon a user request for a summary.
- a similar technique can be used to summarize a group or collection of documents.
- a document summary can be generated based on a concatenation of selected documents, or even all documents referenced in a category of bookmarks.
- the database 120 also maintains itself (step 1360) in the background by analyzing users' bookmark collections, eliminating duplicate bookmark entries as necessary, and performing additional tasks (such as "garbage collection") well known in the art of
- the browsing, searching, and bookmark-using habits of users of the shared bookmark system of the invention all contribute additional information to the system for use in improving and refining user and group profiles. For example, if a user in a computer programming group searches for, views, and ultimately bookmarks
- the user's profile will be automatically updated to include information derived from the bookmarks,
- a user can manually choose to become a member of a group having similar interests (as evidenced by manually inspecting the users' public bookmarks), or in an alternative embodiment, can be assigned automatically to groups based on clustering on the user's public bookmarks (or, preferably, the contents of the documents pointed to by the
- One method of automatically grouping users involves identifying the centroid
- a less-automatic method includes computing a centroid, as above, but using that information simply to recommend related groups to the user.
- Another possibility, related to the foregoing automatic grouping scheme, is to create virtual groups based on the topic categories in each user's public bookmarks. For example, if a user has a public bookmark category entitled "Java,” that user can be treated as belonging to a group having an interest in the Java programming language.
- each user and group can have a profile associated therewith.
- a user's profile consists simply of a normalized content vector representing the aggregate contents of all of the user's public bookmarks. For a description of how this vector is calculated, see U.S. Patent No. 5,442,778 to Pedersen et aL, described above.
- a profile for a group includes a normalized content vector representing the aggregate contents of all public bookmarks belonging to the users within the group.
- the user and group profiles are used in the search and recommendation aspects of the invention, which will be
- a recommendation service according to the invention is
- this service is initiated by a user by selecting a command in the main bookmark window 210 and entering text representative of the
- step 1410 The user then identifies the context (step 1420) within which the recommendation should be generated. This step is preferably performed by manually
- ⁇ can be assembled by the user by manually selecting users and having those users' profiles merged into a special-purpose content vector.
- the user selects a level of "relevance feedback" (step 1430).
- Relevance feedback allows the user to select whether the desired documents are those similar to the selected context or dissimilar to the selected context.
- a known example of positive relevance feedback is the "more like this" option provided by the Excite search engine.
- the subject, context, and relevance feedback are then processed by the database 120 to generate recommendations (step 1440).
- This step uses the popularity (proportion of users having a bookmark) metric 1450, frequency of use metric 1460, and recency of use metric 1470 described above.
- the recommendation generation step searches the public bookmarks belonging to the user or group selected as the context (or alternatively, all public bookmarks) for the keywords identified as the subject. These keywords can be found in the title or URL of the public bookmarks, or alternatively, in the content
- the matches are then analyzed with respect to the content vector and the popularity, frequency, and recency metrics.
- the keywords are combined with the content vector into an enhanced keyword vector, which
- the recommendation service is also able to use link structure (as described above in connection with the Google and CLEVER systems discussed in the background section above, for example) in generating
- the number of inlinks or outlinks may be weighted and incorporated into the step of generating recommendations (step 1440) via the content vector, popularity, frequency, and recency.
- a spreading activation methodology may be used to re-rank recommendations (or search results, as will be described below), or may be used as a weighted factor in the recommendation operation set forth above.
- a spreading activation methodology may be used to re-rank recommendations (or search results, as will be described below), or may be used as a weighted factor in the recommendation operation set forth above.
- U.S. Patent No. 5,835,905 to Pirolli et aL entitled "System for Predicting Documents Relevant to Focus Documents by Spreading Activation Through Network Representations of a Linked Collection of Documents," the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference for all it teaches as though set forth in full herein.
- Spreading activation techniques are based on representations of Web pages as nodes in graph networks representing usage, content, and hypertext relations among Web pages.
- activation is pumped into one or more of the graph networks at nodes representing some starting set of Web pages (Le. focal points, which in the context of the present invention may be a set of highly ranked recommendations or search results) and it flows through the arcs of the graph structure,
- the asymptotic pattern of activation over nodes will define the degree of predicted relevance of Web pages to the starting set of Web pages.
- Web pages may be
- the closest context matches in the collection are given the lowest rankings.
- the recommendation list is then returned to the user for viewing (step 1480).
- recommendations need not be provided only in the context of an explicit request for recommendations in through the main bookmark window 210; recommendations can also be provided while a user is browsing the Web. If a Web page the user is viewing contains a link that is also a popular link (by any of the metrics defined above) in the shared bookmark collection (as a whole, or within one or more groups), then the user can be alerted to that via the presentation of a message in the browser window. Alternatively, if there is a historical pattern of documents chosen from the shared bookmark collection (as defined by the frequency and recency metrics), then that pattern can be highlighted for the user.
- One embodiment of the recommendation service is adapted to provide a user with a "substitute" bookmark when a preferred document is unavailable, as indicated by the unavailability icon 228 (Fig. 2). This capability is implemented through a variation on the
- bookmark is then used to generate a recommendation; that information may (in various embodiments of the invention) include a content vector, keywords, or a summary of the
- FIG. 15 A search and retrieval system according to the invention is set forth in Fig. 15 as a
- a keyword query (step 1510), identifying a context (step 1520), and identifying relevance feedback (step 1530).
- the query, context, and feedback are provided to the database 120, where the query is augmented (step 1540).
- query augmentation is performed by selecting the most important (Le., highest magnitude) words from the context's content vector and adding them to the query. It should be noted that various other methods of augmenting the query with the user's preferred document collection are possible, as suggested above, ranging from the decomposition of the entire collection into a single vector, the selective decomposition of portions of the collection based upon similarity or dissimilarity to the initial query or based upon groups, to completely augmenting the query with document collection.
- the query is augmented by adding the additional context words as words that should be found in the results; if negative feedback has been selected, the query is augmented by adding the additional context words as words that should not be found in the results. It should be observed that the user's initial query is being augmented by introducing additional search words for a simple reason: traditional search engines generally operate only on search terms, and would not recognize a content vector, context, or information in any other
- the query is then performed.
- the query is performed
- step 1550 on the database 120 of public bookmarks (step 1550) at the same time it is performed on an external search engine (step 1560). If the community of users is sufficiently large,
- results obtained from the public bookmarks may be superior in quality to those received by querying the Internet; this approach is similar to the recommendation system described above (Fig. 14).
- the search results obtained from the database 120 can be presented to the user separately from or as a part of the search results obtained from the Internet.
- the results are then ranked (step 1570) according to the user's selected context, as with the recommendations described above (see step 1440). Also, the user may be given the option to employ popularity, frequency, and recency in the ranking operation. And in an alternative embodiment, as described above, link structure may also be used.
- the relative weights of the context match, link structure, popularity, frequency, recency, and any other metrics in the ranking operation are matters of preference, and in a preferred embodiment of the invention, can be adjusted by the user.
- the weights are dynamic and adjustable by the system based on user habits. For example, if a user consistently chooses relatively low-ranked selections in search results lists, that may be seen as an indication that the current metric
- weights are incorrect, leading to a de-emphasis of the highly weighted factors.
- Such learned weightings can be maintained as global system defaults or, preferably, applied on a user- by- user basis.
- a spreading activation methodology may be used to re-rank search results, or as a factor in the ranking operation set forth above.
- the ranked results are finally returned (step 1580) to be viewed by the user.
- results retrieved from the public bookmark collection can be presented separately from the Internet results, or they can be incorporated into the same list (most
- results retrieved from the public bookmark collection are highlighted to identify their origin.
- a search service according to the invention need not provide both query augmentation and results ranking.
- Advantageous results can be obtained by using either technique alone.
- a query can be augmented by a system according to the invention, after which Internet search engine results are viewed without further modification.
- a user-formulated query can be passed directly to a search engine, with the results being passed through the context and popularity-based ranking scheme of the invention.
- One further embodiment of the invention incorporates automatic document categorization. If this optional feature is implemented, a user can create a hierarchy of bookmarks without having to manually create the categories.
- topical categorization methods are known in the art; for example "k nearest neighbors,” “support vector machines,” and “winnow,” among other methods, can be used.
- topical categorization methods are known in the art; for example "k nearest neighbors," “support vector machines,” and “winnow,” among other methods, can be used.
- the method will ensure that the new bookmark is properly categorized within the user's hierarchy (creating a new category, if necessary).
- the user can specify whether the new bookmark is to be private, shared with a group, or public; the categorization method will then act accordingly.
- the automatic categorization scheme described above uses, as a topic reference, a global hierarchy of categories.
- a document or collection of documents is compared (by the scheme described above) against the possible topics in the global hierarchy, and the user is presented with a resulting category name that "fits" properly within the global hierarchy.
- This approach has the advantage of ensuring that searches across multiple users' public bookmarks return consistent category names.
- each category as the centroid of the titles of the documents (or, preferably, the content of the documents).
- the centroids of the categories are then clustered into a preferred
- top-level clusters e.g., ten clusters. Then recursively cluster each of the clusters until the "leaves" of the hierarchy are individual clusters.
- HTML is described as the most common format or language for describing documents on the Web; it should be noted that other document formats (such as XML, SGML, plain ASCII text, plain Unicode text, and other standard and proprietary formats) are also in use on the Internet and in various other document-based applications; this invention will function equally well in the context of networks utilizing other formats or even multiple formats.
- the format be decomposable into a language (which can even be accomplished, in image-based formats,
