Abstract:
Systems and methods for searching heterogeneous interrelated entities for a heterogeneous entities search query are disclosed herein. A user may enter the heterogeneous entities search query. The search retrieves and returns multiple types of heterogeneous entities. The retrieved heterogeneous interrelated entities are searched in a unified matrix that represents relationships between one or more heterogeneous entities. The retrieved heterogeneous interrelated entities may have one or more entity types. The set of retrieved interrelated entities may also be ranked based on the similarity between each entity and the search query. Feedback may also be incorporated into the system to improve search accuracy.
