Abstract

See full text

This invention provides a system and method for predicting user demographic attributes for non-registered users and users with incomplete profiles. The invention uses demographic information from registered users and user search history logs to create a database of information that associates the users' search history habits with their demographic attributes. The invention creates a first database that associates users' search query history with their demographic attributes, and also creates a second database that associates web pages that users have visited frequently along with the users' demographic attributes. The invention can compare the searching and browsing habits of non-registered users and users with incomplete profiles to the searching and browsing habits of registered users. Through the comparison, the invention can use the corresponding demographic attributes of the registered users to predict the demographic attributes of the non-registered users and the registered users with incomplete profiles.
