Abstract
Exemplary methods and apparatuses are provided which may be used to provide or otherwise support segment sensitive query matching based on segmented portions of web pages and/or providing related information for use in information extraction and/or information retrieval systems.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- with one or more special purpose computing devices coupled to a memory having one or more digital signals stored therein representing labeled portion information associated with a plurality of segmented portions of a document:
- obtaining one or more digital signals representing one or more query terms;
- and
- determining whether a query match exists between said document and said query terms based, at least in part, on said one or more digital signals representing labeled portion information and said one or more obtained digital signals representing one or more query terms.

An apparatus comprising:
- memory having one or more digital signals stored therein representing labeled portion information associated with a plurality of segmented portions of a document;
- and
- at least one processing unit coupled to said memory and programmed with instructions to:
- obtain one or more digital signals representing one or more query terms;
- and
- determine whether a query match exists between said document and said query terms based, at least in part, on said one or more digital signals representing labeled portion information and said one or more obtained digital signals representing one or more query terms.
3 more elements
An article comprising:
- a computer readable medium having computer implementable instructions stored thereon which if implemented by one or more processing units in a computing device operatively transform the computing device into a special purpose device to:
- access memory having:
- one or more digital signals stored therein representing labeled portion information associated with a plurality of segmented portions of a document, and
- one or more digital signals representing one or more received query terms;
- and
- determine whether a query match exists between said document and said query terms based, at least in part, on said one or more digital signals representing labeled portion information and said one or more digital signals representing one or more received query terms.
