Definitions
- Implementations described herein relate generally to information retrieval and, more particularly, to the identification of authoritativeness of documents for a location.
- Internet search engines for instance, index many millions of web documents that are linked to the Internet.
- a user connected to the Internet can enter a simple search query to quickly locate web documents relevant to the search query.
- a document that is authoritative for the location may not include the address of the location.
- the address is located in a sub-document or in an image that cannot be analyzed (e.g., indexed). This makes it difficult to identify an authoritative document.
- a computer-readable medium may store computer-executable instructions, including instructions for identifying documents that are associated with a location, instructions for determining a set of signals associated with the documents, and instructions for determining authoritativeness of the documents for the location based on the signals.
- FIG. 1 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a concept consistent with the principles of the invention
- FIG. 2 is an exemplary diagram of a network in which systems and methods consistent with the principles of the invention may be implemented;
- FIG. 3 is an exemplary diagram of a client or server of FIG. 2 according to an implementation consistent with the principles of the invention
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart of exemplary processing for determining the authoritativeness of documents for a location according to an implementation consistent with the principles of the invention
- FIG. 5 is an exemplary diagram that illustrates how documents may be chosen as candidate documents according to an implementation consistent with the principles of the invention.
- FIG. 6 is an exemplary diagram of signals that may be considered when identifying the authoritativeness of a document according to an implementation consistent with the principles of the invention.
- FIG. 1 is an exemplary diagram illustrating a concept consistent with the principles of the invention.
- the documents are local in the sense that they are associated with a particular geographic area—though not necessarily the same geographic area.
- a document that relates to a business listing, for example, can be considered a local document because it is associated with the particular address of the business.
- Documents in corpus 100 may be analyzed to determine the locations with which they are associated. For example, assume that the documents in set 110 relate to the same location. Each of the documents in set 110 may refer in some way to the location. For example, a document in set 110 may mention a business at the location, the address of the business, and/or a telephone number associated with the business. One of the documents in the set may be more authoritative for the location than another one of the documents. For example, a document corresponding to the home page of a restaurant at the location may be considered more authoritative for the location than a document corresponding to a review of the restaurant. Systems and methods consistent with the principles of the invention may determine the authoritativeness of documents associated with a location.
- a “document,” as the term is used herein, is to be broadly interpreted to include any machine-readable and machine-storable work product.
- a document may include, for example, an e-mail, a web site, a business listing, a file, a combination of files, one or more files with embedded links to other files, a news group posting, a blog, a web advertisement, etc.
- a common document is a web page. Web pages often include textual information and may include embedded information (such as meta information, images, hyperlinks, etc.) and/or embedded instructions (such as Javascript, etc.).
- a “link,” as the term is used herein, is to be broadly interpreted to include any reference to/from a document from/to another document or another part of the same document.
- FIG. 2 is an exemplary diagram of a network 200 in which systems and methods consistent with the principles of the invention may be implemented.
- Network 200 may include multiple clients 210 connected to multiple servers 220 - 240 via a network 250 .
- Two clients 210 and three servers 220 - 240 have been illustrated as connected to network 250 for simplicity. In practice, there may be more or fewer clients and servers. Also, in some instances, a client may perform the functions of a server and a server may perform the functions of a client.
- Clients 210 may include client entities.
- An entity may be defined as a device, such as a wireless telephone, a personal computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a lap top, or another type of computation or communication device, a thread or process running on one of these devices, and/or an object executable by one of these devices.
- Servers 220 - 240 may include server entities that gather, process, search, and/or maintain documents in a manner consistent with the principles of the invention.
- server 220 may include a search engine 225 usable by clients 210 .
- Server 220 may crawl a corpus of documents (e.g., web documents), index the documents, and store information associated with the documents in a repository of documents.
- Servers 230 and 240 may store or maintain documents that may be crawled or analyzed by server 120 .
- servers 220 - 240 are shown as separate entities, it may be possible for one or more of servers 220 - 240 to perform one or more of the functions of another one or more of servers 220 - 240 .
- servers 220 - 240 may be possible that two or more of servers 220 - 240 are implemented as a single server. It may also be possible for a single one of servers 220 - 240 to be implemented as two or more separate (and possibly distributed) devices.
- Network 250 may include a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a telephone network, such as the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), an intranet, the Internet, a memory device, or a combination of networks.
- Clients 210 and servers 220 - 240 may connect to network 250 via wired, wireless, and/or optical connections.
- FIG. 3 is an exemplary diagram of a client or server entity (hereinafter called “client/server entity”), which may correspond to one or more of clients 210 and/or servers 220 - 240 , according to an implementation consistent with the principles of the invention.
- the client/server entity may include a bus 310 , a processor 320 , a main memory 330 , a read only memory (ROM) 340 , a storage device 350 , an input device 360 , an output device 370 , and a communication interface 380 .
- Bus 310 may include a path that permits communication among the elements of the client/server entity.
- Processor 320 may include a conventional processor, microprocessor, or processing logic that interprets and executes instructions.
- Main memory 330 may include a random access memory (RAM) or another type of dynamic storage device that may store information and instructions for execution by processor 320 .
- ROM 340 may include a conventional ROM device or another type of static storage device that may store static information and instructions for use by processor 320 .

- Communication interface 380 may include any transceiver-like mechanism that enables the client/server entity to communicate with other devices and/or systems.
- communication interface 380 may include mechanisms for communicating with another device or system via a network, such as network 250 .
- the client/server entity may perform certain document processing-related operations.
- the client/server entity may perform these operations in response to processor 320 executing software instructions contained in a computer-readable medium, such as memory 330 .
- a computer-readable medium may be defined as a physical or logical memory device and/or carrier wave.
- the software instructions may be read into memory 330 from another computer- readable medium, such as data storage device 350 , or from another device via communication interface 380 .
- the software instructions contained in memory 330 may cause processor 320 to perform processes that will be described later.
- hardwired circuitry may be used in place of or in combination with software instructions to implement processes consistent with the principles of the invention.
- implementations consistent with the principles of the invention are not limited to any specific combination of hardware circuitry and software.
- FIG. 4 is a flowchart of exemplary processing for determining the authoritativeness of documents for a location according to an implementation consistent with the principles of the invention.
- the processing of FIG. 4 is performed by server 220 ( FIG. 2 ).
- the processing of FIG. 4 is performed by another a device or a group of devices.
- Processing may begin with identification of a set of candidate documents associated with a particular location (block 410 ).
- a corpus of documents may be analyzed to identify snippets of text (where a snippet of text may be defined as a portion of a document or the entire document) that include information associated with the location, such as a full or partial address of the location, a full or partial telephone number associated with the location, and/or a full or partial name of a business associated with the location.
- the documents associated with these snippets may be included as a first group of candidate documents.
- a document that includes information associated with a location may link to an authoritative document for that location. Therefore, the documents linked to by the candidate documents in the first group may be included as a second group of candidate documents.
- a third group of candidate documents may be identified from addresses of candidate documents in the first and second groups, such as by stripping portions of the addresses of the candidate documents in the first and second groups. For example, assume that a candidate document includes the address http://www.abcdef.com/ghijk/lmnop/qrst.htm. Portions of the address may be stripped to identify additional candidate documents.
- the following additional candidate documents may be included in the third group (if they exist): (1) http://www.abcdef.com/ghijk/lmnop; (2) http://www.abcdef.com/ghijk; and (3) http://www.abcdef.com.
- the set of candidate documents may be further expanded or expanded ways that would be apparent to one skilled in the art.
- the first, second, and third groups of candidate documents may be combined to form the set of candidate documents.
- FIG. 5 is an exemplary diagram that illustrates how documents may be chosen as candidate documents according to an implementation consistent with the principles of the invention.
- group (A) may include documents with snippets of text that include information associated with the location, such as a full or partial address of the location, a full or partial telephone number associated with the location, and/or a full or partial name of a business associated with the location;
- group (B) may include documents that are linked to by documents in group (A); and
- group (C) may include documents formed from addresses of documents in groups (A) and (B).
- the set of candidate documents may be formed from documents in groups (A), (B), and (C).
- signals associated with the set of candidate documents may be determined (block 420 ).
- the signals may correspond to meta data associated with the candidate documents.
- One type of signal may be associated with the number of outlinks in the candidate documents that point to another candidate document.
- An authoritative document may be a destination corresponding to outlinks from a large number of candidate documents.
- Another type of signal may be associated with anchor text of outlinks that point to the candidate documents.
- the anchor text may be associated with any document in the document corpus and may be analyzed to determine whether the anchor text matches all or part of the name of the business associated with the location. Text matching may be tricky in this situation because business names can be phrased differently, including partial names and/or misspellings.
- a text similarity technique may be used to score words and/or bigrams based on the frequency of occurrence of the words and/or bigrams.
- the frequency of occurrence of words and/or bigrams may be determined by analyzing documents on a per geographic area (e.g., zip code) basis. For example, all of the words and bigrams in a set of documents that are known to be associated with a particular geographic area may be counted. Assume that the bigram “New York” is very common to the New York city area and, therefore, has a high count value for the New York city area. Assume further that the bigram “Pandella Shop” is very uncommon to the New York City area and, therefore, has a low count value for the New York city area.
- a per geographic area e.g., zip code
- Histograms may be generated for the different geographic areas to identify the words and/or bigrams that are common, or uncommon, to those geographic areas.
- the histogram associated with the New York city area may indicate that the bigram “New York” is common (i.e., occurs frequently in documents associated with the New York city area) and the bigram “Pandella Shop” is uncommon (i.e., occurs very infrequently in documents associated with the New York city area).
- Any well known text similarity technique may be used to determine whether anchor text matches all or part of the name of the business associated with the location. More leeway may be given with regard to partial text matches and text matches with misspellings for uncommon words and/or bigrams (e.g., “Pandella Shop”) than for common words and/or bigrams (e.g., “New York”).
- An authoritative document may be a destination corresponding to outlinks whose anchor text matches all or part of the name of the business.
- Another type of signal may be associated with document titles of the candidate documents.
- the text of the candidate documents may be analyzed to determine whether the titles of the documents match all or part of the name of the business associated with the location.
- a text similarity technique similar to that described above may be used to determine when the title of a candidate document matches all or part of the business name.
- An authoritative document may include a title that matches all or part of the name of the business.
- Another type of signal may be associated with domain names associated with the candidate documents.
- the text of the domain names may be analyzed to determine whether the text matches all or part of the name of the business associated with the location. Domain names are often pushed together and/or truncated versions of the business name (e.g., Bob's Billiard Shop might appear as BobsBilliard.com or BobsBilliardShop.com). Any well known sub-string matching technique may be used instead of, or in addition to, the text similarity technique described above to determine when the domain name associated with a candidate document matches all or part of the business name.
- An authoritative document may be associated with a domain name that matches all or part of the name of the business.
- the signals for the different candidate documents in the set may be weighted and combined in some manner to obtain an authoritative score (block 430 ).
- values (or scores) may be derived for the signals and the values (or scores) may be weighted in some manner.
- the values (or scores) associated with one or more of the signals such as the signals associated with the anchor text and/or the domain name, may be weighted more than the values (or scores) associated with another one or more of the signals.
- the values (or scores) may be combined by, for example, adding them together to obtain an authoritative score for each of the candidate documents in the set.
- the authoritative score for a candidate document may be increased if the candidate document is associated with a single location (as opposed to multiple locations).
- Some candidate documents may include snippets of text that mention different locations but refer (e.g., link) to the same document. For example, one candidate document may mention location A and link to document A, while another candidate document may mention location B and also link to document A.
- some candidate documents may be associated with multiple locations. For example, a candidate document may mention locations A and B, such as in the case of a business with multiple locations.
- the authoritative score for a candidate document that is specific to one location may be increased.
- the authoritativeness of the candidate documents may be determined based on their authoritative scores (block 440 ).
- a document with a higher authoritative score may be determined as more authoritative for the location than a document with a lower authoritative score.
- the candidate documents may then be processed based on their authoritativeness (block 450 ).
- the authoritative scores of the candidate documents may be used for later processing phases or to control ranking, placement, emphasis, and/or other user interface elements relating to the candidate documents. For example, when a search query relating to a location is later received, a more authoritative document may be presented in a more prominent manner within the search results than a less authoritative document.
- FIG. 6 is an exemplary diagram of signals that may be considered when identifying the authoritativeness of a document according to an implementation consistent with the principles of the invention.
- document 610 may be determined to be authoritative (i.e., receive a high authoritative score) for the location associated Big Nick's Pizza Joint located at 123 Main Street, Oakmont, Pa. 15302.
- a combination of signals may be used to identify document 610 as authoritative for the location.
- Authoritative document 610 is the destination corresponding to outlinks from a number of documents that mention all or part of the location or the business name.
- Authoritative document 610 is also the destination corresponding to outlinks whose anchor text matches all or part of the business name (e.g., Big Nick's Pizza Joint, Big Nick's Pizza, Big Nick's, Big Nick's Pizza Restaurant, Big Nicks Pizza, and Big Nick Pizza Joint).
- Authoritative document 610 also includes a title that matches all or part of the business name (e.g., Big Nick's Pizza Joint).
- Authoritative document 610 includes a domain name that matches all or part of the name of the business (e.g., www.bignicks.com).
- Authoritative document 610 is also associated with a single location (e.g., 123 Main St., Oakmont, Pa.).
- document 610 may receive a high authoritative score for the location associated with the business Big Nick's Pizza Joint at the address of 123 Main Street, Oakmont, Pa. 15302.
- Systems and methods consistent with the principles of the invention may determine the authoritativeness of documents associated with a location.
- location is intended to refer to an address and/or a business located at the address.
