Embodiment Construction

[0021] The search engine may provide query suggestions in the primary language in response to user-entered query input. Primary language query suggestions are query suggestions written in the language or writing system of the user's original query input. The search engine may also provide cross-language query suggestions for each primary language query suggestion, where cross-language query suggestions are queries written in a second language or writing system that is different from the language or writing system of the primary language query suggestion. When providing cross-language query suggestions, the search engine evaluates multiple candidate translations for the primary language query suggestion, and selects the one that is not only the correct translation suggested by the primary language query, but is also likely to be an effective search query for retrieving cross-language content Candidate translations, the cross-language content is about the same topic as the prima...

Abstract

Computer-implemented methods, systems, computer program products for generating cross-language query suggestions are described. For each query suggestion written in a first natural language, candidate segmentations are generated from the query suggestion, and candidate translations are generated from each candidate segmentation. The candidate translations are evaluated based on a measure of segmentation quality associated with the respective candidate segmentation from which each candidate translation is derived, and a frequency of occurrence of the candidate translation in a target language query log. The measure of segmentation quality associated with each candidate segmentation is further based on a frequency of occurrence of the candidate segmentation in a source language query log. A candidate translation is provided as a cross-language query suggestion for the primary language query suggestion based on the result of the evaluation.

Description

technical field [0001] This specification relates to computer-implemented query suggestion services, and more particularly to providing cross-language query suggestions. Background technique [0002] A search engine may provide input suggestions (eg, query suggestions) corresponding to a user's query input. Input suggestions include query alternatives to user-submitted search queries and / or suggestions (eg, auto-completion) that match portions of the query input entered by the user. In order to provide input suggestions that may be relevant to the user's interests and current information needs, search engines evaluate input suggestion candidates based on various criteria before selecting particular input suggestion candidates for presentation to the user. [0003] Internet content on the same topic or information often exists on the World Wide Web in different natural languages ​​and / or writing systems. A multilingual user may attempt to formulate corresponding queries in ...
