Abstract:
Methods and systems for providing an image with an answer to a question query. A method receiving a first query that is determined to be a question query; generating a second query form the first query; causing a search of a plurality of resources of a first corpus using the second query as input, wherein the first corpus of resources are resources that include images and textual data rendered with the images; receiving data indicating a set of resources determined to be responsive to the second query; causing a search for images in the set of resources; selecting, from the set of images and based in part on the search for images in the first set of resources, an image to be provided with the answer in response to the query; and providing, by the data processing apparatus, and with the answer, the image in response to the first query.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for triggering rich results in response to publication queries. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a publication query. One or more publication search results are obtained. A rich result is triggered based on a score of the first-ranked publication result if it meets a threshold relative to other publication search results. The rich result is populated with additional metadata about the publication obtained from web resources and product resources from multiple corpora. The rich result is provided with the publication search results.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying an image for an entity. In one aspect, a method includes identifying a set of resources. Each resource can include at least one image and reference at least one entity. Each image is assigned to a particular entity based on an overall entity scores for the image relative to the entities. The overall entity score for an image and an entity can specify a measure of topical relatedness between the image and the entity. For each individual entity referenced by at least one of the resources, a group of images that have been assigned to the individual entity is identified. An image evocative of each individual entity is selected from the group based on image rank scores. The image rank score for an image can be determined based on visual characteristics of the image.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for identifying and ranking entities for reference as search results. In one aspect, a method includes receiving data identifying resources that are relevant to a query. The data for each resource can include a relevance score, a list of references to entity realizations included in the resource, and for each reference to an entity realization in the list, one or more resource reference scores. For each resource and for each reference to an entity realization in the resource, a partial score for the reference can be determined from the resource reference scores for the reference and the relevance score for the resource. For each reference to an entity realization, a reference score for the reference is determined from each of the partial scores for the reference. Search results can be ranked based on the reference scores.
