Method for personalizing information retrieval in a communication network
First Claim
1. A method for personalizing information retrieval in a communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more inputs from a plurality of sources;
processing an information present in the one or more inputs received from the plurality of sources, wherein processing the information comprises refining the information present in the one or more inputs of the plurality of sources, enhancing the information present in the one or more inputs of the plurality of sources, boosting the information present in the one or more inputs of the plurality of sources and extracting the information present in the one or more inputs to build people and artifact profiles;
generating one or more virtual documents based on processed information present in the one or more inputs and wherein appropriate weights assigned to generate virtual profile documents for people and artifacts;
performing a search based on the virtual documents generated and wherein performing a search comprises performing a contextual and personalized search based on the inputs received;
generating an intelligent web of words from the one or more inputs of the plurality of sources;
performing an iterative comparison between the information present in a query document with the information of the profile document;
personalizing one or more results that to be displayed based on comparison of the results with the profile document of a user;
refining a search result based on user inputs; and
displaying one or more results in support of the information in the communication network.

Abstract
The various embodiments herein provide a method and system for personalizing information retrieval in a communication network. The method involves receiving one or more inputs from several sources and processing the information present in the received inputs. A contextual and personalized search is performed based on the received inputs and the results are displayed in support of the information in the communication network. The system has an application server for receiving the inputs from the sources and a processor for processing the information in the received inputs. One or more virtual documents are generated based on the processed information to perform a search and the results are displayed.

31. A system for personalizing information retrieval in a communication network, the system comprising:
-
an application server to receive one or more inputs from a plurality of sources; a processor to process an information present in the one or more inputs received from the plurality of sources, to generate one or more virtual documents based on the processing of the information present in the one or more inputs and to perform a search based on the virtual documents generated; and a display unit for displaying one or more results based on the document generated for the information; wherein the processor comprises a Word-Web generator to generate an intelligent web of words from the one or more inputs of the plurality of sources, and wherein the processor comprises a content indexer and pro filer to extract information from the one or more inputs of the plurality of sources to build people and artifact profiles, and wherein the processor comprises a content refiner for refining the contents from the one or more inputs of the plurality of sources, and wherein the processor comprises a content modeler and profile document generator to assign appropriate weights to generate virtual profile documents for people and artifacts, and wherein the processor comprises a search engine for performing an iterative comparison between the information present in a query document with the information of the profile document, and wherein the processor comprises a personalize module for personalizing one or more results that are to be displayed based on comparison of the results with the profile document of a user, and wherein the processor comprises a search result refiner to refine search results based on user inputs. - View Dependent Claims (32)
