Abstract
A method of acquiring tags using web search includes receiving a search query in a search engine, processing the search query and returning a list of candidate resources corresponding to the search query, determining a candidate resource out of the list of candidate resources, extracting tags from the search query, and tagging the candidate resource with the extracted tags.
Claims9
A method of acquiring tags using web search, the method comprising:
- receiving a search query in a search engine;
- processing the search query by the search engine to return and a plurality of candidate resources as a list corresponding to the search query;
- generating a graphical tag cloud for each of the plurality of candidate resources returned by the search engine, wherein each of the graphical tag clouds is displayed in association with a respective candidate resource;
- sorting the list of candidate resources;
- receiving a selection of a candidate resource from the list of candidate resources;
- extracting at least one tag from the search query;
- tagging the candidate resource with an extracted tag from the search query;
- and
- incrementing a hit count for only the candidate resource selected from the list of candidate resources and a hit count for at least one tag associated with the candidate resource matching the extracted tags;
- wherein a frequency of occurrence for each extracted tag with respect to the candidate resource selected from the list of candidate resources is maintained by increasing a corresponding counter by one.
A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying instructions executable by a processor to perform a method of acquiring tags using web search, the method comprising:
- receiving a search query in a search engine;
- processing the search query by the search engine to return and a plurality of candidate resources as a list corresponding to the search query;
- generating a graphical tag cloud for each of the plurality of candidate resources returned by the search engine, wherein each of the graphical tag clouds is displayed in association with a respective candidate resource;
- sorting the list of candidate resources;
- receiving a selection of a candidate resource from the list of candidate resources;
- extracting at least one tag from the search query;
- tagging the candidate resource with an extracted tag from the search query;
- and
- incrementing a hit count for only the candidate resource selected from the list of candidate resources and a hit count for at least one tag associated with the candidate resource matching the extracted tags;
- wherein a frequency of occurrence for each extracted tag with respect to the candidate resource selected from the list of candidate resources is maintained by increasing a corresponding counter by one.
