Embodiment Construction

[0026] figure 1 Illustrated is an example search system 114 for providing search results relevant to a submitted query, which may be implemented in the Internet, an intranet, or another client and server environment. Search system 114 is an example of an information retrieval system in which the systems, components, and techniques described below can be implemented.

[0027] User 102 may interact with search system 114 through client device 104 . For example, client 104 may be a computer coupled to search system 114 through a local area network (LAN) or a wide area network (WAN), such as the Internet. In some implementations, search system 114 and client device 104 may be one machine. For example, a user may install a desktop search application on client device 104 . Client device 104 will generally include random access memory (RAM) 106 and processor 108 .

[0028]User 102 may submit query 110 to search engine 130 within search system 114 . When a user 102 submits a quer...

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for generating aspects associated with entities. In some implementations, a method includes receiving data identifying an entity; generating a group of candidate aspects for the entity; modifying the group of candidate aspects to generate a group of modified candidate aspects comprising combining similar candidate aspects and grouping candidate aspects using one or more aspect classes each associated with one or more candidate aspects; ranking one or more modified candidate aspects in the group of modified candidate aspects based on a diversity score and a popularity score; and storing an association between one or more highest ranked modified candidate aspects and the entity. The aspects can be used to organize and present search results in response to queries for the entity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present specification relates to providing information in response to a search query, identifying aspects of entities identified in the search query, and using these aspects in presenting information in response to the search query. Background technique [0002] Internet search engines provide information about Internet-accessible resources (eg, web pages, images, text documents, multimedia content) in response to a user's search query and present information about these resources in a manner that is useful to the user. Internet search engines return sets of search results (eg, as ranked results lists) in response to queries submitted by users. Search results include, for example, URLs and excerpts of information from corresponding resources. Conventional search engines are implemented under the assumption that a user's search query can be satisfied by a single result, and serve to help the user discover the results. Unfortunately, users are not ...
