Including hyperlinks in a document
View Patent ↗Techniques for including a hyperlink in a document is disclosed. A document is received via a communications interface. An entity pair is determined by a processor. The entity pair includes a concept included in a concept taxonomy and a textual representation included in the document. As output, a hyperlink is provided.
1. A system for including a hyperlink in a document, comprising:
a communications interface configured to receive a first document;
a processor configured to:
determine an entity pair comprising a textual representation included in the first document and a concept determined to be associated with the textual representation, wherein the concept comprises a node concept in a concept taxonomy; and
provide as output a hyperlink to a second document determined to be associated with the entity pair; and
a memory coupled to the processor and configured to provide the processor with instructions;
wherein the processor is further configured to evaluate the popularity of the concept at least in part by determining the number of times the concept is included in a hyperlink in a corpus of documents; and
wherein the textual representation is associated with each of a respective first and second meaning, and wherein determining the number of times the concept is included in a hyperlink in the corpus of documents includes: (1) counting the number of times the first meaning is included in a hyperlink in the corpus of documents and (2) counting the number of times the second meaning is included in a hyperlink in the corpus of documents.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the hyperlink includes a universal resource locator, which, when activated by a client, will direct the client to a topical page associated with the concept.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the hyperlink includes a link label.
4. The system of claim 3 wherein the link label is the textual representation.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the document is received from a client web browser application.
6. The system of claim 5 wherein the document is a portion of a web page and wherein the document is received in response to the client web browser accessing the web page.
7. The system of claim 1 wherein the document is received in response to a submission of a message.
8. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is configured to provide the hyperlink to a web browser.
9. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to determine a monetization associated with the hyperlink.
10. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to perform a link density analysis.
11. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to perform a link distribution analysis.
12. The system of claim 1 wherein the processor is further configured to evaluate an intent.
13. The system of claim 12 wherein the hyperlink includes a universal resource locator, which, when activated by a client, will direct the client to a topical page associated with the concept, wherein the topical page is selected based at least in part on the intent.
14. A method for including a hyperlink in a document, comprising:
receiving a first document;
determining an entity pair comprising a textual representation included in the first document and a concept determined to be associated with the textual representation, wherein the concept comprises a node concept in a concept taxonomy;
evaluating the popularity of the concept at least in part by determining the number of times the concept is included in a hyperlink in a corpus of documents; and
providing as output a hyperlink to a second document determined to be associated with the entity pair;
wherein the textual representation is associated with each of a respective first and second meaning, and wherein determining the number of times the concept is included in a hyperlink in the corpus of documents includes: (1) counting the number of times the first meaning is included in a hyperlink in the corpus of documents and (2) counting the number of times the second meaning is included in a hyperlink in the corpus of documents.
15. A computer program product for including a hyperlink in a document, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
receiving a first document;
determining an entity pair comprising a textual representation included in the first document and a concept determined to be associated with the textual representation, wherein the concept comprises a node concept in a concept taxonomy;
evaluating the popularity of the concept at least in part by determining the number of times the concept is included in a hyperlink in a corpus of documents; and
providing as output a hyperlink to a second document determined to be associated with the entity pair;
wherein the textual representation is associated with each of a respective first and second meaning, and wherein determining the number of times the concept is included in a hyperlink in the corpus of documents includes: (1) counting the number of times the first meaning is included in a hyperlink in the corpus of documents and (2) counting the number of times the second meaning is included in a hyperlink in the corpus of documents.
