Estimating the term…
A method and a system for re-ranking an existing result set of documents. A user starts a search by entering search term(s). The search term(s) is (are) transferred to a search engine which generates a result set ranked by the search term(s). The search engine, in parallel, automatically retrieves context information from returned result set which is related to the original set of documents. The search engine presents the context information to the user and asks for a feedback. The user performs a weighting of the presented context information in a range from “important” to “non-important”. The result set is then re-ranked with the user-weighted context information to increase the “rank distance” of important and non important documents. The documents that are on top of the list (highest context-weighted ranking value) represent the desired information.
A computer implemented method for re-ranking a set of ranked documents, each ranked document having an absolute ranking value determined based on one or more search terms, the method comprising:
A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium having a computer readable program for re-ranking a set of ranked documents, each ranked document having an absolute ranking value determined based on one or more search terms, said computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
