First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving one or more signals representing one or more relevance scores associated with one or more search results from an electronic communication network;
executing instructions on a special purpose computing apparatus to;
determine a calibration function for a first type of the one or more relevance scores based at least in part on said first type of the one or more relevance scores and/or one or more user rankings of one or more of the search results corresponding to the first type of the one or more relevance scores;
form one or more signals representing calibrated relevance scores for the first type of the one or more relevance scores; and
store the formed one or more signals in a memory device associated with said special purpose computing apparatus.

- 6. The method of claim 5, wherein said forming one or more signals representing a calibrated relevance score comprises determining an adjusted value for the first type of the one or more relevance scores based at least in part on a difference between the determined calibration function for the first type of the one or more relevance scores and values of the first type of the one or more relevance scores.

6-1. An article comprising:
- a storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, if executed by a special purpose computing apparatus, enable said special purpose computing apparatus to;
read one or more signals representing one or more relevance scores associated with one or more documents from a memory device; determine a calibration function for a first type of the one or more relevance scores based at least in part on said first type of the one or more relevance scores and/or one or more user rankings of one or more of the documents corresponding to the first type of the one or more relevance scores; form one or more signals representing calibrated relevance scores for the first type of the one or more relevance scores; and store the formed one or more signals in a memory device associated with said special purpose computing apparatus.
- a storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, if executed by a special purpose computing apparatus, enable said special purpose computing apparatus to;

13. A system comprising:
-
a special purpose computing apparatus; said special purpose computing apparatus comprising a network communication adaptor to receive one or more signals representing one or more relevance scores associated with one or more documents from an electronic communication network; said special purpose computing apparatus further comprising one or more processors programmed with one or more instructions to; determine a calibration function for a first type of the one or more relevance scores based at least in part on said first type of the one or more relevance scores and/or one or more user rankings of one or more of the documents corresponding to the first type of the one or more relevance scores; form one or more signals representing calibrated relevance scores for the first type of the one or more relevance scores; and store the formed one or more signals in a memory device associated with said special purpose computing apparatus. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
