Abstract
Disclosed is a system and program for processing anchor text for information retrieval. A set of anchors that point to a target document is formed. Anchors with same anchor text are grouped together. Information is computed for each group. Context information is generated for the target document based on the computed information.
Claims16
A computer system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- storage coupled to the processor, wherein the storage stores a program, wherein the processor executes the program to perform operations, wherein the operations comprise:
- forming a set of anchors that point to a target document, wherein each anchor is a path from a source document to the target document;
- grouping together anchors with same anchor text, wherein each anchor is associated with anchor text;
- computing a relevance score for each group, wherein computing the relevance score includes computing a linguistic score for each group;
- and
- generating context information for the target document based on the computed relevance score, wherein a title is composed from text of a group with a highest relevance score and a summary of the target document is composed from anchor texts of a number of groups with highest relevance scores.
An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable storage medium including a program for processing anchor text in documents, wherein the computer readable storage medium is a member of a set of computer readable storage media consisting of magnetic storage, optical storage, and volatile and non-volatile memory devices, and wherein the program, when executed by a processor, causes operations to be performed, the operations comprising:
- forming a set of anchors that point to a target document, wherein each anchor is a path from a source document to the target document;
- grouping together anchors with same anchor text, wherein each anchor is associated with anchor text;
- computing a relevance score for each group, wherein computing the relevance score includes computing a linguistic score for each group;
- and
- generating context information for the target document based on the computed relevance score, wherein a title is composed from text of a group with a highest relevance score and a summary of the target document is composed from anchor texts of a number of groups with highest relevance scores.
