Concept searching using a Boolean or keyword search engine. Documents are preprocessed before being passed to a search engine by identifying, on a word-by-word basis, the "word tokens" contained in the document. Once the word tokens have been extracted, each word token is referenced in a concept database that maps word tokens to concept identifiers. The concept identifiers associated with the word tokens are converted into unique non-word concept tokens and arranged into a list. The list is then inserted into the document as invisible but searchable text. The document is then transferred to the server monitored by the search engine. Search queries are preprocessed before being passed to the search engine in the same manner. The query is first broken into word tokens and the word tokens are then referenced in the concept database. All associated concept identifiers are retrieved and converted to unique concept tokens. The concept tokens are then combined into a string and sent to the search engine as an ordinary query.

In various embodiments, a semantic space associated with a corpus of electronically stored information (ESI) may be created and used for concept searches. Documents (and any other objects in the ESI, in general) may be represented as vectors in the semantic space. Vectors may correspond to identifiers, such as, for example, indexed terms. The semantic space for a corpus of ESI can be used in information filtering, information retrieval, indexing, and relevancy rankings.

A method and apparatus are presented for using directed reasoning to provide natural language responses to questions and commands in natural language. The directed reasoning process uses concepts in the natural language sentence to identify relevant response concepts in a knowledge base, by creating a continuous chain of logic from the input concept to the response concept and limiting the creation of the logic chains to only those consistent with the context of the natural language sentence and information in the knowledge base. The invention allows the identification of relevant concepts that elude traditional concept searching based on pattern matching, while focusing computational resources on only those logic calculations relevant to the natural language sentence and knowledge base. The invention will automatically identify the relevant source documents to use and create a knowledge base during run time, without requiring preprogrammed ontologies or knowledge bases.

A textual message processing system and method are described for use in a mobile environment. A user messaging application processes at least one user textual message during a user messaging session. A semantic annotation module identifies one or more semantically salient terms in the user textual message, and annotates the user textual message with annotation terms having a low semantic distance to the semantically salient terms. A user message history stores the annotated textual messages. The semantic annotation module may further annotate the user textual message with situational meta-data characterizing the user textual message. There may be a message search module for using one or more keywords to search the user message history including the annotation terms, and identifying as a search match any annotated textual messages within a semantic distance threshold of the one or more keywords.

Systems and methods for searching data. A search for related terms is initiated of at least one data product using at least one term. A ranked list of all the terms in the matching data products is returned and the ranked list is displayed to a user. The user modifies the weight values of a search term or adds a new term to the query. The search is reinitiated using the modified weight values. Alternatively, a search for data products is initiated of at least one data product using at least one term. A ranked list of all data products and significant terms in those products is returned and the ranked list is displayed to a user. The user modifies the weight values of a search term or adds a new term to the query. The search is reinitiated using the modified weight values.

To improve traditional keyword based search engines, the present inventors devised, among other things, systems, methods, and software that use word co-occurrence probabilities not only to identify documents conceptually related to user queries, but also to score and rank search results. One exemplary system combines inverse-document-frequency searching with concept searching based on word co-occurrence probabilities to facilitate finding of documents that would otherwise go unfound using a given query. The exemplary system also allows ranking of search results based both on both keyword matching and concept presence, promoting more efficient organization and review of search results.

The content for a given conceptual search result entry can come from different sources.

The present disclosure provides a method, an electronic device, and a user interface for searching a plurality of relevant via active searching. At first, a query image having a first subject and a second subject may be obtained from stored images. Next, a query concept based on content information of the query image may be learned by sampling first sample images from the stored images according to content information of the query image for relevance feedback. Then, the query concept is refined based on context information of the first selected images among the first sample images. Based on the refined query concept, relevant images among the stored images may be searched according to the query concept and grouped into a collection album.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically visually presenting information relevant to an utterance. Natural language expressions from conversation participants are received and processed to determine a topic and concepts, a search finds relevant information and it is visually displayed to an assisted user. Applications can include video conferencing, wearable devices, augmented reality, and heads-up vehicle displays. Topics, concepts, and information search results are analyzed for relevance and non-repetition. Relevance can depend on a user profile, conversation history, and environmental information. Further information can be requested through non-verbal modes. Searched and displayed information can be in languages other than that spoken in the conversation. Many-party conversations can be processed.
