Abstract
In some implementations, systems and methods that are capable of customizing negative media searches using domain-specific search indexes are described. Data indicating a search query associated with a negative media search for an entity and a corpus of documents to be searched are obtained. Content from a particular collection of documents from among the corpus of documents is obtained and processed. Multiple scores for the entity are computed based on processing the content obtained from the collection of documents. The multiple scores are aggregated to compute a priority indicator that represents a likelihood that the collection of documents includes content that is descriptive of derogatory information.
Claims18
A method performed by one or more computers, the method comprising:
- receiving data indicating (i) a search query associated with a negative media search for an entity, and (ii) a corpus of documents to be searched using the search query, the corpus of documents including documents that are predetermined to satisfy one or more criteria associated with the negative media search for the entity;
- obtaining content from a particular collection of documents from among the corpus of documents that are determined to be responsive to the search query;
- processing the content obtained from the particular collection of documents;
- based on processing the content obtained from the particular collection of documents:
- computing concept scores, wherein each concept score included in the concept scores represents a likelihood that the entity is associated with a predetermined negative attribute of a corresponding reference entity group of a plurality of reference entity groups predetermined to be associated with derogatory information, and
- computing relevancy scores, wherein each relevancy score of the relevancy scores represents a likelihood that a corresponding document included in the particular collection of documents includes content that is descriptive of the predetermined negative attributes;
- determining a number of reference entity groups having corresponding concept scores satisfying a first threshold associated with the predetermined negative attributes;
- determining a number of documents having corresponding relevancy scores satisfying a second threshold associated with the predetermined negative attributes;
- aggregating the concept scores and the relevancy scores to compute a priority indicator, wherein:
- the priority indicator is computed based at least on (i) the number of reference entity groups having corresponding concept scores satisfying the first threshold, and (ii) the number of documents having corresponding relevancy scores satisfying the second threshold, and
- the priority indicator represents a likelihood that the particular collection of documents includes content descriptive of the derogatory information;
- and
- enabling a user to perceive a representation of the priority indicator.

A system comprising:
- one or more computers;
- and
- one or more storage devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
- receiving data indicating (i) a search query associated with a negative media search for an entity, and (ii) a corpus of documents to be searched using the search query, the corpus of documents including documents that are predetermined to satisfy one or more criteria associated with the negative media search for the entity;
- obtaining content from a particular collection of documents from among the corpus of documents that are determined to be responsive to the search query;
- processing the content obtained from the particular collection of documents;
- based on processing the content obtained from the particular collection of documents:
- computing concept scores, wherein each concept score included in the concept scores represents a likelihood that the entity is associated with a predetermined negative attribute of a corresponding reference entity group of a plurality of reference entity groups predetermined to be associated with derogatory information, and
- computing relevancy scores, wherein each relevancy score of the relevancy scores represents a likelihood that a corresponding document included in the particular collection of documents includes content that is descriptive of the predetermined negative attributes;
- determining a number of reference entity groups having corresponding concept scores satisfying a first threshold associated with the predetermined negative attributes;
- determining a number of documents having corresponding relevancy scores satisfying a second threshold associated with the predetermined negative attributes;
- aggregating the concept scores and the relevancy scores to compute a priority indicator, wherein:
- the priority indicator is computed based at least on (i) the number of reference entity groups having corresponding concept scores satisfying the first threshold, and (ii) the number of documents having corresponding relevancy scores satisfying the second threshold, and
- the priority indicator represents a likelihood that the particular collection of documents includes content descriptive of the derogatory information;
- and
- enabling a user to perceive a representation of the priority indicator.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage device storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:

- computing relevancy scores, wherein each relevancy score of the relevancy scores represents a likelihood that a corresponding document included in the particular collection of documents includes content that is descriptive of the predetermined negative attributes;
- determining a number of reference entity groups having corresponding concept scores satisfying a first threshold associated with the predetermined negative attributes;
- determining a number of documents having corresponding relevancy scores satisfying a second threshold associated with the predetermined negative attributes;
- aggregating the concept scores and the relevancy scores to compute a priority indicator, wherein:
- the priority indicator is computed based at least on (i) the number of reference entity groups having corresponding concept scores satisfying the first threshold, and (ii) the number of documents having corresponding relevancy scores satisfying the second threshold, and
- the priority indicator represents a likelihood that the particular collection of documents includes content descriptive of the derogatory information;
- and
- enabling a user to perceive a representation of the priority indicator.
