SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMPUTERIZED SEARCHING WITH A COMMUNITY PERSPECTIVE
A system and method for conducting a computerized search, including: receiving a user query, a perspective, and a term associated with the perspective; conducting a first search based on the user query; expanding the term to a list; analyzing the first search results based on the list; modifying the user query based on the analysis of the first search results; and conducting a second search based on the modified user query. Alternatively, a system and method for conducting a computerized search, including: receiving a user query; conducting a computerized search based on the user query to obtain first results; analyzing a knowledge base; generating a weighted context term vector based on the knowledge base, wherein the weighted context term vector includes context words; matching the first results with the weighted context term vector; and listing second results based on the match.
1 . A method for conducting a computerized search, comprising:
receiving at a processor a user query, a perspective, and a term associated with the perspective;
conducting via the processor a first search based on the user query;
expanding via the processor the term to a list;
analyzing via the processor the first search results based on the list;
modifying via the processor the user query based on the analysis of the first search results; and
conducting via the processor a second search based on the modified user query.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein results of the second search are biased toward the perspective.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the perspective comprises a web community.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein modifying the user query comprises augmenting the user query.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving a perspective comprises receiving a plurality of perspectives, and receiving a term comprises receiving a plurality of terms associated respectively with the plurality of perspectives.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein expanding the term comprises identifying at least one synonym of the term or at least one antonym of the term, or a combination thereof.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the expanded term comprises the term, and at least one synonym of the term or at least one antonym of the term, or a combination thereof.
8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the first search results comprises analyzing the first search results in substantially real time for the presence of the synonym (associated terms) and the antonym (contrarian terms).
9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the first search results comprises analyzing the first search results in substantially real time for the presence of the synonym (associated terms) and the antonym (contrarian terms), or a combination thereof.
10 . The method of claim 9 , comprising summarizing via the processor the presence of the synonym or the antonym, or a combination thereof, into a score using a formula.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein modifying the user query comprises augmenting the user query with the term or other preassigned word associated with the perspective.
12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein analyzing the first search results comprises evaluating the first search results based on a knowledge base to score competing perspectives.
13 . The method of claim 10 , comprising combining scores into a decision system to determine if augmentation of the user query with an associated term is meaningful.
14 . A method for conducting a computerized search, comprising:
receiving via a processor a user query;
conducting via the processor a computerized search based on the user query to obtain first results;
analyzing via the processor a knowledge base;
generating via the processor a weighted context term vector based on the knowledge base, wherein the weighted context term vector comprises context words;
matching via the processor the first results with the weighted context term vector; and
listing via the processor second results based on the match.
15 . The method of of claim 14 , wherein generating the context term vector, matching the first results with the weighted context term vector, and listing the second results are performed automatically in substantially real time.
16 . The method of of claim 14 , wherein listing second results based on the match comprises selecting and displaying first results that are contextually relevant based on a dynamically chosen threshold of the match.
17 . The method of of claim 14 , wherein generating the weighted context term vector comprises generating the weighted context term vector in substantially real time.
18 . The method of of claim 14 , wherein matching comprises matching the first results with the weighted context term vector using a similarity measure.
19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the similarly measure comprises cosine distance.
20 . A system for conducting a computerized search, comprising:
a server comprising executable code stored in memory, wherein the executable code is configured to:
receive a user query, a perspective, and a term associated with the perspective;
conduct a first search based on the user query;
expand the term to a list;
analyze the first search results based on the list;
modify the user query based on the analysis of the first search results; and
conducting a second search based on the modified user query.
21 . A system for conducting a computerized search, comprising:
a server comprising executable code stored in memory, wherein the executable code is configured to:
receive a user query;
conduct a computerized search based on the user query to obtain first results;
analyze a knowledge base;
generate a weighted context term vector based on the knowledge base,
wherein the weighted context term vector comprises context words;
match the first results with the weighted context term vector; and
listing second results based on the match.
