Abstract
Architecture that extracts author information from general documents and uses the author information for search results ranking. The architecture performs automatic author value extraction and makes the extracted value available at index time for subsequent use at query processing and results ranking. Machine learning (e.g., a perceptron algorithm) is employed and a set of input features for the perceptron algorithm utilized for author value extraction. The extracted author value is converted into a feature for input a ranking function for generating a ranking score for each document. The input features can also be weighted according to weighting criteria.
