US 2011/0257959 A1 · GENERATING CHINESE LANGUAGE BANNERS

Abstract

Embodiments are disclosed for automatically generating a banner given a first scroll sentence and a second scroll sentence of a Chinese couplet. The first and/or second scroll sentence can be generated by an automatic computer system or by a human (e.g., manually generated and then provided as input to an automated banner generation system) or obtained from any source (e.g., a book) and provided as input. In one embodiment, an information retrieval process is utilized to identify banner candidates that best match the first and second scroll sentences. In one embodiment, candidate banners are automatically generated. In one embodiment, a ranking model is applied in order to rank banner candidates derived from the banner search and generation processes. One or more banners are then selected from the ranked banner candidates.

A computer-implemented method for obtaining an output banner associated with a Chinese language input couplet, the method comprising:

obtaining a set of existing Chinese language banners;
generating a feature vector for each of the banners in the set of existing Chinese language banners;
constructing a banner taxonomy based on the set of existing banners and based on the feature vectors;
generating a feature vector for the Chinese language input couplet;
utilizing a computer processor that is a component of a computer to compare, through the banner taxonomy, the input couplet to the set of existing banners, the comparison including calculating a distance between the Chinese language input couplet feature vector and each of the existing banner feature vectors;
identifying, based on the comparison, at least one of the existing banners in the set as being a better match candidate banner than another of the existing banners in the set;
and
providing an output indicative of said at least one of the existing banners that is a better match candidate.
