Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for determining relevance between news and for calculating relevance among multiple pieces of news. The method for determining relevance between news comprises: comparing a piece of first news with a piece of benchmarking news to obtain a distance between the first news and the benchmarking news; comparing a piece of second news with the benchmarking news to obtain a distance between the second news and the benchmarking news; and calculating a distance differential between the distance between the first news and the benchmarking news and the distance between the second news and the benchmarking news to determine the relevance between the first news and the second news according to the distance differential.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for determining relevance between news, comprising: comparing first news with benchmarking, news to obtain a distance between the first news and the benchmarking news; comparing second news with the benchmarking news to obtain a distance between the second news and the benchmarking news; calculating a distance differential between the distance between the first news and the benchmarking news and the distance between the second news and the benchmarking news and determining the relevance between the first news and the second news according to the distance differential; wherein the comparing first news with benchmarking news to obtain a distance between the first news and the benchmarking news further comprises: acquiring a feature attribute of the first news, generating a vector corresponding to the first news according to the feature attribute of the first news, and comparing the vector corresponding to the first news with a vector corresponding to the benchmarking news; and wherein the comparing second news with the benchmarking news to obtain a distance between the second news and the benchmarking news further comprises: acquiring a feature attribute of the second news, generating a vector corresponding to the second news according to the feature attribute of the second news, and comparing the vector corresponding to the second news with the vector corresponding to the benchmarking news. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before comparing the first news with the benchmarking news, the method further comprises: recognizing a type of the first news and selecting the benchmarking news having a corresponding type from a set of benchmarking news. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before comparing the first news with the benchmarking news, the method further comprises: acquiring a keyword in the first news and selecting the benchmarking news having the keyword from the set of benchmarking news. 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the acquiring a feature attribute of the first news further comprises: performing word segmentation on the first news to obtain a plurality of words, calculating a word frequency of the plurality of words of the first news, and determining the word frequency as the feature attribute of the first news; and the acquiring a feature attribute of the second news further comprises: performing word segmentation on the second news to obtain a plurality of words, calculating a word frequency of the plurality of words of the second news, and determining the word frequency as the feature attribute of the second news. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the relevance between the first news and the second news according to the distance differential further comprises: setting the second news as a piece of news related to the first news when the distance differential is within a preset interval; and pushing the second news when it is required to push news related to the first news. 6. An apparatus for determining relevance between news, comprising: a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and storing instructions that upon execution by the processor cause the apparatus to: compare first news with benchmarking news to obtain a distance between the first news and the benchmarking news, compare second news with the benchmarking news to obtain a distance between the second news and the benchmarking news, calculate a distance differential between the distance between the first news and the benchmarking news and the distance between the second news and the benchmarking news to determine the relevance between the first news and the second news according to the distance differential, wherein the memory further storing instructions that upon execution by the processor cause the apparatus to: acquire a feature attribute of the first news, generate a vector corresponding to the first news according to the feature attribute of the first news, compare the vector corresponding to the first news with a vector corresponding to the benchmarking news, acquire a feature attribute of the second news, generate a vector corresponding to the second news according to the feature attribute of the second news, and compare the vector corresponding to the second news with the vector corresponding to the benchmarking news. 7. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the memory further storing instructions that upon execution by the processor cause the apparatus to: recognize a type of the first news and select the benchmarking news having a corresponding type from a set of benchmarking news. 8. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the memory further storing instructions that upon execution by the processor cause the apparatus to: acquire a keyword in the first news and select the benchmarking news having the keyword from the set of benchmarking news. 9. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the memory further storing instructions that upon execution by the processor cause the apparatus to: perform word segmentation on the first news to obtain a plurality of words, calculates a word frequency of the plurality of words of the first news, and determines the word frequency as the feature attribute of the first news; and perform word segmentation on the second news to obtain a plurality of words, calculates a word frequency of the plurality of words of the second news, and determines the word frequency as the feature attribute of the second news. 10. The apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the memory further storing instructions that upon execution bathe processor cause the apparatus to: identify the second news as a piece of news related to the first news when the distance differential is within a preset interval; and push the second news when it is required to push news related to the first news.
