"abstract": "A significant portion of search engine queries mention business entities such as restaurants, cinemas, banks, and other places of interest. These queries are commonly known as \"local search\" queries, because they represent an information need about a place, often a place local to the user. A portion of these queries is not well served by the search engine because there is a mismatch between the query terms, and the terms representing the local business entity in the index. Business entities are frequently represented by their name, the category of entity (whether it is a restaurant, an airport, a grocery store, etc.) and other meta-data such as opening hours and price ranges. In this paper, we propose a method for representing business entities with a term distribution generated from web data and from social media that more closely aligns with user search query terms. We evaluate our system with the local search task of ranking businesses given a query, in both the U.S. and in Brazil. We show that augmenting entities with salient terms from social media and the Web improves precision at rank one for the U.S. by 18%, and for Brazil by 9% over a competitive baseline. For precision at rank three, the improvement for the U.S. is 19%, and for Brazil 15%.",

Local data consists largely of listings of businesses, annotated with metadata. This metadata includes the name of the location, category information (is the business a clothing retailer, or a Thai restaurant, for example), address and phone number, opening hours, and indicators such as price range, popularity, star ratings, etc. Figure 1 shows an example of the type of information available to local search systems.",

An example of a category search is \"Thai restaurants in Denver\".

Further, businesses use social networks as a publicity platform to widen their customer base. Today, Twitter has more than 500 million users. 5 In this paper we augment business entities with salient terms describing the business. We extract the terms from Twitter, and from the Web. To determine which terms are salient, we compute the cooccurrence of terms with mentions of the business name (and name variants), for tweets issued within one kilometer of the business. Because some users are especially prolific on social media, and may dominate the tweets issued in that location, we estimate the term co-occurrence statistics with the user frequency of a term: the number of people using that term in a given location. We also extract salient terms from the Web pages of the business entity, but in this case the user frequency is not meaningful, so term co-occurrence is calculated with the term frequency.",

Most of the work in this domain focuses on modeling locations and regions more generally (O'Hare and Murdock, 2013; Laere et al., 2012; Bennett et al., 2011) , or on extracting mentions of business entities from text using NLP techniques (Rae et al., 2012) . O'Hare and Murdock (2013) propose a statistical language modeling approach to characterize locations in text, based on user frequency. They utilize the geo-tagged public photos in Flickr. The primary difference between their work and ours is that they estimate the user frequency distribution, whereas we employ the user frequency in calculating the term co-occurrence. Also, the locations described in O'Hare and Murdock represent locations of one kilometer distance. They do not attempt to characterize specific points of interest or businesses.",

They cluster content from multiple sources while building a language model for each cluster. Tags in each cluster are scored by tf.idf . This work is similar in spirit to the work proposed in this paper, although our work focuses more on obtaining the most unique and frequent tags associated with points of interest in tweets. Hegde et al. (2013) assign tags to points of interest based on user interest profiles in online social networks and check-in logs of users at these places. They use probabilistic modeling to derive the point of interest tags followed by hierarchical clustering of most probable tags to filter out semantically irrelevant tags. Biancalana et al. (2013) use point of interest-related location-based service content to extract key phrases that could serve as tags characterizing each point of interest.

The tweets are geo-tagged by identifying the locations referenced in a tweet by part of speech tagging and a database of locations. Eisenstein et al. (2010) and Kinsella et al. (2011) present methods to identify the location of a user based on his or her tweets. Li et al. (2011) rank a set of candidate points of interest using language and temporal models. Given a query tweet, they build a unigram language model for each candidate point of interest and for the query tweet. Points of interest are then ranked by their KL-divergences with the tweet language model. Unlike our work, both approaches identify a location in tweets rather than modeling a certain location by the way it is mentioned in tweets. tweets posted from locations within one kilometer of the business. We then identify the tweets about a given business from among the nearby tweets, by looking for mentions of the business name (along with naming variants).

"text": "Our primary evaluation is of query expansion for the class of queries for which a business listing is a relevant result. However, representing a business entity with a term distribution estimated from social media has other applications as well. For this reason, we would like to know the quality of the expansion terms, independent of any task. To this end, we asked three judges to pick all the relevant terms from among an unordered set of extracted terms salient to a business, for 100 businesses in each country. We divided the terms among the three judges equally and each term has been judged by only one judge. The number of tags extracted from the web pages is an order of magnitude larger than the number of tags extracted from Twitter for a given business. We consider the tag accuracy to be proportion of \"good\" tags accounted for by a single data source. That is, for Twitter, it is the number of \"good\" Twitter tags, divided by the total number of \"good\" tags, whereas the accuracy of the Web tags is the number of \"good\" tags derived from the web, divided by the total number of \"good\" tags. Based on this assessment, the accuracy of the Twitter tags for the U.S. data was 0.22, and the accuracy of the Web tags was 0.78. For the data from Brazil, the accuracy of the Twitter terms was 0.15, and the accuracy of terms derived from the Web was 0.85.",

The results are averaged over 500 queries (from the query formulations described above) for each country. In Tables 3 and 4 we see that nearly 60% of queries return the correct result at rank one, when the entity is represented only by its metadata. The results reported in the other rows also include the entity metadata. (The baseline in Tables 3 and 4 is described in Section 4.1.)

Because precision at one is binary, we do not apply a statistical significance test. Percent change is reported for precision at rank one, with respect to the baseline (row two).

"text": "The gains in precision suggest that the extracted salient terms with co-occurrence statistics and user frequency from twitter and the web pages are of better quality than the terms extracted by the baseline in Colombo et al. (2013) with term frequency only. This is attributed to the fact that co-occurrence statistics and user frequency capture the terms that people frequently use when describing a place. Further, the quality of the salient terms extracted from the web pages exceeds the quality of the twitter terms. This is to be expected if the main search results for a business entity are reasonable, and the top three results are relevant to the query. Social media is notoriously noisy, so it is not surprising that the web pages produce more reliable expansion terms. Furthermore, comparing the terms expanded from the web, to the terms expanded from Twitter, we see the relative improvement with respect to the baseline of the Web expansion terms is greater than the Twitter expansion terms. The fact that both expanding from twitter and the Web produces results better than either individually shows that the two term distributions cover different slices of the vocabulary.",

We focused on the portion of the test set with queries of the form term + location like \"conchiglie Yountville,\" as those are the queries that are not answered with relevant results in the absence of the proper salient terms. We found that 10 to 30 tweets mentioning the business were sufficient to improve the retrieval results for these queries, and there was no benefit to increasing the number of tweets to 50 or 100. In the Brazil data, the results for four of the queries of the form term + location were degraded when sampling terms from 10 tweets compared to more. However, the results were the same for 30, 50, 100 or more tweets, suggesting that there is no benefit to increasing the number of tweets beyond 30. This suggests that a smaller number of tweets is better, in terms of extracting salient terms. One possible reason for this is that adding more tweets increases the number of noise terms, relative to the number of salient terms.",

Our method uses co-occurrence statistics and user frequency to extract relevant salient terms.
