Abstract:
Methods, systems and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for disambiguating names in a document corpus. In an aspect, a method includes generating context term lists for a person name, each context term list being a list of context terms from a resource for the person name; clustering the context term lists into a plurality of clusters, each of the clusters of context term lists including context term lists that are most similar to the cluster relative to other clusters; for each of the clusters, selecting a representative term for the cluster; receiving the person name as a search query; and generating a plurality of query suggestions from the search query and the representative terms for the clusters, each query suggesting being a combination of the person name and one representative term.
