Towards the Web of Concepts: Extracting Concepts from Large Datasets

Summary: Concept extraction reframed as market-basket mining over large corpora to build a Web of Concepts for search. Uses market-basket style measures of support and confidence to extract high-precision concept sequences; evaluated on AOL-scale query logs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
