Systems, Methods, And Interfaces For Providing Personalized Search And Information Access

US Patent:
2006007, Apr 6, 2006
Filed:
Oct 5, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/958560
Inventors:
Jaime Teevan - Cambridge MA, US
Susan Dumais - Kirkland WA, US
Eric Horvitz - Kirkland WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
US Classification:
707003000
Abstract:
The present invention relates to systems and methods that employ user models to personalize generalized queries and/or search results according to information that is relevant to respective user characteristics. A system is provided that facilitates generating personalized searches of information. The system includes a user model to determine characteristics of a user. The user model may be assembled automatically via an analysis of a user's content, activities, and overall context. A personalization component automatically modifies queries and/or search results in view of the user model in order to personalize information searches for the user. A user interface receives the queries and displays the search results from one or more local and/or remote search engines, wherein the interface can be adjusted in a range from more personalized searches to more generalized searches.

Functionality For Personalizing Search Results

US Patent:
2012032, Dec 20, 2012
Filed:
Jun 17, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/162906
Inventors:
David A. Sontag - Cambridge MA, US
Kevyn B. Collins-Thompson - Seattle WA, US
Paul N. Bennett - Kirkland WA, US
Ryen W. White - Woodinville WA, US
Susan T. Dumais - Kirkland WA, US
Assignee:
Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:
G06F 17/30
G06F 15/18
US Classification:
706 12, 707732, 707E17014
Abstract:
A query processing system is described herein for personalizing results for a particular user. The query processing system operates by receiving a query from a particular user u who intends to find results that satisfy the query with respect to a topic T, the user being characterized by user information θ. In one implementation, the query processing system then produces a generic topic distribution Pr(T|q) associated with the query that is germane to a population of generic users, as well as a user-specific query-dependent topic distribution Pr(T|q,θ) for the particular user. The query processing system then produces personalized results for the particular user based on Pr(T|q) and Pr(T|q,θ). The query processing system can use multiple techniques to produce Pr(T|q,θ), such as, in one approach, a discriminative learning approach.
