NORMALIZATION OF CONFIDENCE THRESHOLDS IN FEDERATED ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provides methods, computer program products, and systems for normalizing confidence score thresholds across systems in a federated environment. Embodiments of the present invention can be used to calculate normalization factors for participating hubs in a federated environment to normalize confidence score thresholds applied by those hubs and improve search results obtained therefrom.

主权项

1. A method for normalizing confidence score thresholds, comprising:
receiving, by a first hub of a plurality of hubs of a federated environment, a first search query from a calling application; generating, by the first hub, a first confidence score for a result of the first search query; calculating, by one or more computer processors, a normalized confidence score threshold for a second hub of the plurality of hubs of the federated environment by applying a first normalization factor associated with the second hub to the first confidence score; transmitting, from the first hub to the second hub, a second search query with the normalized confidence score threshold calculated for the second hub; and receiving, by the first hub from the second hub, one or more results of the second search query that satisfy the normalized confidence score threshold calculated for the second hub.
