Systems and methods for identifying a named entity
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- identifying an event associated with an article;
identifying a plurality of named entities within the event;
determining a weight to associate with each of the plurality of named entities based at least in part on a frequency of each of the plurality of named entities within a data store; and
creating an implicit search query based at least in part on each of the plurality of named entities and the associated weight, the implicit search query focused on a named entity with a higher associated weight more than on a named entity with a lower associated weight.

Abstract
Systems and methods for identifying a named entity are described. In one described system, a computer program, such as a query system, identifies an event associated with an article, identifies a named entity within the event, and creates an implicit search query comprising the named entity.

19. A method comprising:
-
receiving an event;
identifying a plurality of named entities in the event;
determining a weight to associate with each of the plurality of named entities based at least in part on a frequency of each of the plurality of named entities within a data store;
creating an implicit query based at least in part on each of the plurality of named entities and the associated weight, the implicit search query focused on a named entity with a higher associated weight more than on a named entity with a lower associated weight;
transmitting the implicit query to a search engine; and
receiving a result set from the search engine, the result set comprising one or more article identifiers; and
responsive to an associated score exceeding a threshold, outputting the one or more article identifiers.

20. A computer-readable medium on which is encoded program code, the program code comprising:
-
program code for identifying an event associated with an article;
program code for identifying a plurality of named entities within the event;
program code for determining a weight to associate with each of the plurality of named entities based at least in part on a frequency of each of the plurality of named entities within a data store; and
program code for creating an implicit search query based at least in part on each of the plurality of named entities and the associated weight, the implicit search query focused on a named entity with a higher associated weight more than on a named entity with a lower associated weight. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 40, 41)

program code for determining a weight to associate with each of the plurality of named entities based at least in part on a frequency of each of the plurality of named entities within a data store;
program code for creating an implicit query based at least in part on each of the plurality of named entities and the associated weight, the implicit search query focused on a named entity with a higher associated weight more than on a named entity with a lower associated weight;
program code for transmitting the implicit query to a search engine; and
program code for receiving a result set from the search engine, the result set comprising one or more article identifiers; and
responsive to an associated score exceeding a threshold level of relevance, outputting the one or more article identifiers.
