FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates generally to a search and retrieval system, and more particularly, to an intelligent query system and method used in a search and retrieval system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Existing search query systems have been designed to help provide comprehensive search and retrieval services. However, terms or phrases used by writers may extend to different meanings that belong to different categories. For example, many documents contain phrases "strike outs" or "home run." These terms are generally related to baseball. Occasionally, these terms are also used when evaluating the performance of financial equities analysts, such as "Those Internet picks were major strike outs", or "Choosing MSFT back in'86 was a real home run."
In the existing search and retrieval systems, the documents that contain "strike outs" or "home run" in the above example, whether they are baseball documents or financial documents, are searched and retrieved. Readers can be very frustrated by wasting a lot of time in reading the irrelevant documents.
Therefore, there is a need for an intelligent query system and method that is used in a search and retrieval system capable of providing an intelligent and efficient search and retrieval. -, SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides an intelligent query system and method used in a search and retrieval system with a document feed and a categorization engine.
In one embodiment of the present invention, documents about baseball are marked with a taxonomy element "BASE", and those about equities are marked with "EQUITIES". Accordingly, the intelligent query system of the present invention recognizes that the phrases "strike outs" and "home run" are much more strongly correlated with "BASE" as opposed to "EQUITIES." Therefore, when a search is conducted or a lookup is done in a map, the system recommends the strongest correlation as "BASE."
In one embodiment of the present invention, an intelligent query ("IQ") method comprises the steps of:
providing a set or stream of documents (D) which contain text, pictures (with captions or other descriptive text), video/audio (with generated text transcript), and/or the other multimedia formats;
categorizing each document into a taxonomy (C) with corresponding taxonomy elements wherein the taxonomy can be pre-defined or ad hoc;
filtering terms within the text to generate terms (Tt) and stop tenns (Ts), wherein terms (Tt) are single words which express semantic value to the document to a certain meaningful degree, and stop terms (Ts) are single words which has little or no semantic value (i.e. "the", "an", and "a");
discarding the stop terms (Ts) and defining the remaining terms (Tt) as T;
transforming the terms (T) to eliminate multi-collinearity and correlating each transformed term t to each taxonomy element c on a containing document, wherein t is an element of T, and c is an element of C;
storing t and c in a database;
counting documents that contain c;

The present invention provides an intelligent query system and method used in a search and retrieval system with a document feed and a categorization engine.
In one embodiment of the present invention, documents about baseball are marked with a taxonomy element "BASE", and those about equities are marked with "EQUITIES". Accordingly, the intelligent query system of the present invention recognizes that the phrases "strike outs" and "home run" are much more strongly correlated with "BASE" as opposed to "EQUITIES." Therefore, when a search is conducted or a lookup is done in a map, the system recommends the strongest correlation as "BASE."
In one embodiment of the present invention, an intelligent query ("IQ") method comprises the steps of:
providing a set or stream of documents (D) which contain text, pictures (with captions or other descriptive text), video/audio (with generated text transcript), and/or the other multimedia formats;
categorizing each document into a taxonomy (C) with corresponding taxonomy elements wherein the taxonomy can be pre-defined or ad hoc;

storing t and c in a database;
counting documents that contain c;
increasing a correlation value between term t and taxonomy element c each time when the term t appears in the document; and continuing the above steps for all remaining documents.
With the data collected from the above process, an IQ map can be generated by the following steps:
scoring t-c pairs according to a PCF-IPCDF scoring system or model;
loading the pairs with the highest scores into a map structure for facilitating lookup of the taxonomy element c from the term element t; and deducing the taxonomy element c from term t.
One exemplary PCF-IPCDF scoring system or model is described in the co-pending patent application, U.S. Utility Application No. 11/060,928, filed on February 18, 2005, the subject matter of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The map structure can be loaded into applications which benefit from being able to deduce relevant taxonomy elements from terms. Such applications include, but not limited to, search engines and tracking engines.
Some exemplary uses of the map (or IQ map) include guiding a user toward relevant search topics, presenting a user with a list of related taxonomy terms, and/or transparently focusing a search for a user.
Therefore, in the above baseball example, the intelligent query system of the present invention recognizes that the phrases "strike outs" and "home run" are much more strongly correlated with "BASE" as opposed to "EQUITIES." Therefore, when a lookup is done in the map, the system recommends the strongest correlation as "BASE."

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONS OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The present invention provides an intelligent query system and method used in a search and retrieval system with a document feed and a categorization engine.
Figure 1 shows an exemplary intelligent query process 100 in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The process 100 starts with a step 102 of providing a set or stream of documents (D) which contain text, pictures (with captions or other descriptive text), video/audio (with generated text transcript), and/or the other multimedia formats. Then, each document is categorized into a taxonomy (C) with corresponding taxonomy elements wherein the taxonomy can be pre-defined or ad hoc in a step 104. In the next step 106, terms within the text are filtered to generate terms (Tt) and stop terms (Ts), wherein terms (Tt) are single words which express semantic value to the document to a certain meaningful degree, and stop terms (Ts) are single words which has little or no semantic value (i.e. "the", "an", and "a"). Then, the stop terms (Ts) are discarded, and the remaining terms (Tt) are defined as T in a step 108. Next, the terms (T) are transformed to eliminate multi-collinearity and correlate each transformed term t to each taxonomy element c on a containing document, wherein t is an element of T, and c is an element of C, in a step 110. t and c are then stored in a database in a step 112. Then, documents that contain c are counted in a step 114. In a next step 116, a correlation value between term t and taxonomy element c is increased each time when the term t appears in the document. The above steps are repeated for all remaining documents.
Figure 2 shows one exemplary process 200 of generating an IQ map in the intelligent query process in accordance with the principles of the present invention. The process 200 starts with a step 202 of scoring t-c pairs according to a PCF-IPCDF scoring system or model. Then, in a step 204, the t-c pairs are loaded with the highest scores into a map structure for facilitating lookup of the taxonomy element c from the term element t. Next, the taxonomy element c is deduced from the term element t in a step 206.
It is noted that an exemplary PCF-IPCDF scoring system or model has been described in the co-pending patent application, U.S. Utility Application No.
11/060,928, filed on February 18, 2005, the subject matter of which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The map structure can be loaded into applications which benefit from being able to deduce relevant taxonomy elements from terms. Such applications include, but not limited to, search engines and tracking engines.
As a result, documents about baseball are marked with a taxonomy element "BASE", and those about equities are marked with "EQUITIES". The intelligent query system of the present invention recognizes that the phrases "strike outs" and "home run"
are much more strongly correlated with "BASE" as opposed to "EQUITIES."
Therefore, when a search is conducted or a lookup is done in a map, the system recommends the strongest correlation as "BASE."
One of the advantages of the present invention is that it provides end-users the most relevant, meaningful, up-to-date, and precise search results.
Another advantage of the present invention is that an end-user is able to benefit from an experienced recommendation that is tailored to a specific industry.
These and other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the attached detailed descriptions, wherein it is shown, and described illustrative embodiments of the present invention, including best modes contemplated for carrying out the invention. As it will be realized, the invention is capable of modifications in various obvious aspects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
