Abstract
The present disclosure relates to apparatus, systems, and methods for analyzing characteristics of entities of interest. In particular, the present disclosure provides a mechanism for analyzing information about entities of interest and for rating or scoring the entities of interest based on the analyzed information. The rating or the score of an entity of interest can sometimes be referred to as a placerank value of an entity of interest.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory device that is configured to maintain information about an entity of interest, wherein the information includes internal data, external data, and server logs associated with the entity of interest;
- and
- a processor, in communication with the memory device, and configured to run one or more modules that are operable to cause the apparatus to:
- retrieve the internal data, the external data, and the server logs about the entity of interest;
- generate a plurality of features based on the internal data, the external data, and the server logs;
- and
- compute a score for the entity of interest based on the plurality of features, wherein the score is indicative of an importance of the entity of interest.
A method for processing information relating to an entity of interest, the method comprising:
- retrieving internal data, external data, and server logs about the entity of interest;
- generating a plurality of features for the entity of interest based on the internal data, the external data, and the server logs;
- and
- computing a score for the entity of interest based on the plurality of features, wherein the score is indicative of an importance of the entity of interest.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having executable instructions operable to cause a data processing apparatus to process information about an entity of interest;
- the executable instructions operable to cause the data processing apparatus to:
- retrieve internal data, external data, and server logs about the entity of interest;
- generate a plurality of features for the entity of interest based on the internal data, the external data, and the server logs;
- and
- compute a score for the entity of interest based on the plurality of features, wherein the score is indicative of an importance of the entity of interest.
