We then compare these re-rankings to human rankings. Two algorithms break webpages into topically distinct areas (Micro Information Units). The third computes a proximity score for each webpage, measuring how close the words in the query appear. Query terms appearing closer together may indicate the webpage is more relevant to that query.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overture Services, Inc.
