Kosmix to Provide Health Information Widget for InfoSpace

Posted on: Monday, 28 April 2008, 09:00 CDT

InfoSpace, a search site, has signed an agreement with Kosmix, a content categorization engine for topics on the web. Under the agreement Kosmix will provide the new 'Dogpile Health Guide' widget, with content on a wide variety of health topics, giving Dogpile users better access to expert health-related information on the web.

Dogpile analyzes the probable intent behind every query and intelligently searches different sources, such as Kosmix.com, that are likely to return the most relevant results. By limiting the sources queried to those most likely to contain the best-matched content, Dogpile's Health Guide is able to return a higher concentration of germaine results, from basic facts to images to videos.

The core of Kosmix's technology is an algorithm-based categorization engine. Kosmix's technology combs through billions of Web pages and structured data points to aggregate, categorize, and return content specifically targeted to the user's query. By generating every page through its unique algorithm, Kosmix creates rich and relevant home pages automatically for any topic and scales seamlessly as the web grows.
