摘要： Architecture that provides the capability to identify which parts (terms and phrases) of a voice query have been covered by predefined phrase templates, and then to concatenate matching phrase templates into a new paraphrased query. A match-drop-continue algorithm is disclosed that progressively masks out the portions (phrases, terms) of the query matched to the phrase templates. Ultimately, the matched phrase templates are accumulated and organized together dynamically into a rephrased version of the original voice query. A user interface is provided that allows the user to confirm/summarize the multiple concepts in a progressive manner.

摘要： Training data may be provided, the training data including pairs of source phrases and target phrases. The pairs may be used to train an intra-language statistical machine translation model, where the intra-language statistical machine translation model, when given an input phrase of text in the human language, can compute probabilities of semantic equivalence of the input phrase to possible translations of the input phrase in the human language. The statistical machine translation model may be used to translate between queries and listings. The queries may be text strings in the human language submitted to a search engine. The listing strings may be text strings of formal names of real world entities that are to be searched by the search engine to find matches for the query strings.

摘要： A multimedia system configured to receive user input in the form of a spelled character sequence is provided. In one implementation, a spell mode is initiated, and a user spells a character sequence. The multimedia system performs spelling recognition and recognizes a sequence of character representations having a possible ambiguity resulting from any user and/or system errors. The sequence of character representations with the possible ambiguity yields multiple search keys. The multimedia system performs a fuzzy pattern search by scoring each target item from a finite dataset of target items based on the multiple search keys. One or more relevant items are ranked and presented to the user for selection, each relevant item being a target item that exceeds a relevancy threshold. The user selects the indented character sequence from the one or more relevant items.

摘要： To construct a classifier, a data structure correlating queries to items identified by the queries is received, where the data structure contains initial labeled queries that have been labeled with respect to predetermined classes, and unlabeled queries that have not been labeled with respect to the predetermined classes. The data structure is used to label at least some of the unlabeled queries with respect to the predetermined classes. Queries in the data structure that have been labeled with respect to the predetermined classes are used as training data to train the classifier.

摘要： One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for creating an expanded or improved lexicon for use in search-based semantic tagging. A set of first documents can be identified using a set of first lexicon elements as queries, and one or more first document patterns can be extracted from the set of first documents. The document patterns can be used to find one or more second documents in a query log that comprise the document patterns, which are associated with query terms used to return the second documents. The query terms for the second documents can be extracted and used to expand the lexicon. Elements within the lexicon may be weighted based upon relevance to different query domains, for example.

摘要： A training module is described for training a conditional random field (CRF) tagging model. The training module trains the tagging model based on an explicitly-labeled training set and an implicitly-labeled training set. The explicitly-labeled training set includes explicit labels that are manually selected via human annotation, while the implicitly-labeled training set includes implicit labels that are generated in an unsupervised manner. In one approach, the training module can train the tagging model by treating the implicit labels as non-binding evidence that has a bearing on values of hidden state sequence variables. In another approach, the training module can treat the implicit labels as binding or hard evidence. A labeling system is also described for providing the implicit labels.

摘要： A user's search experience may be enhanced by providing additional content based upon an understanding of the user's intent. Query tagging, the assigning of semantic labels to terms within a query, is one technique that may be utilized to determine the context of a user's search query. Accordingly, as provided herein, a query tagging model may be updated using one or more stratified lexicons. A list data structure (e.g., lists of phrases obtained from web pages) and seed distribution data (e.g., pre-labeled probability data) may be used by a graph learning technique to obtain an expanded set of phrases and their respective probabilities of corresponding with particular lexicons (e.g., semantic class lexicons). The expanded set of phrases may be used to group phrases into stratified lexicons. The stratified lexicons may be used as features for updating and/or executing the query tagging model.

摘要翻译： 可以通过基于对用户意图的理解来提供附加内容来增强用户的搜索体验。 查询标记，将语义标签分配给查询中的术语，是可用于确定用户搜索查询的上下文的一种技术。 因此，如本文所提供的，可以使用一个或多个分层词典来更新查询标签模型。 列表数据结构（例如，从网页获得的短语的列表）和种子分布数据（例如，预先标记的概率数据）可以通过图形学习技术来使用以获得扩展的短语集合及其相应的概率 特定词典（例如语义类词典）。 扩展的短语组可用于将短语分组成分层词典。 分层词汇可以用作更新和/或执行查询标签模型的特征。
