Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that performs inference detection based on Internet advertisements. In doing so, this system first receives a set of topic words, performs a search query on each topic word using a search engine, and gathers a set of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) associated with sponsored advertisement from the search results corresponding to each search query. Then, the system determines a correlation between two topic words based on their corresponding URLs associated with sponsored advertisement, and produces a result which indicates groups of correlated topic words.
