A system and method of disambiguating entities in a computerized web
search includes identifying a set of potential meanings for an entity;
retrieving at least one web page having descriptions referencing the
entity; establishing a base web page having a selected context for the
entity; attributing dimensions of a vector space attributed to domains in
the retrieved web page; and computing a probability of similarity between
the referenced entity in the retrieved web page and the entity in the
base web page. The method includes corresponding a similarity measure
between the dimensions of the vector space attributed to domains in the
retrieved web page and a likelihood of the retrieved web page referring
to the entity in the base web page. The method further includes ranking
web pages based on the computed probability of similarity.
