Embodiment Construction

[0028] figure 1 is a block diagram of system 100 according to an exemplary implementation. System 100 can be used to implement a search engine that provides natural language answers to queries that include questions with identifiable intent. right figure 1 The description of system 100 in is described as a system capable of searching authoritative sources available through the Internet to generate a question and answer (Q&A) data store that provides natural language answers. The system can provide intent templates for identifying queries with explicit intent and for identifying natural language answers from authoritative source content. Other configurations and applications of the described techniques may be used. For example, the system may include other methods of categorizing text from authoritative sources or identifying issues of explicit intent. As another example, natural language answers may be provided for other corpora such as intranets, libraries, or other docum...

Abstract

Systems and methods provide natural language search results to clearintent queries. To provide the natural language search results, a system may parse a document from an authoritative source to generate at least one headingtext pair, the text appearing under the heading in the document. The system may assign a topic and a question category to the heading-text pair and store the heading-text pair in a data store keyed by the topic and the question category. The system determines that a query corresponds to the topic and the question category, and provides the heading-text pair as a natural language search result for the query. In some implementations, the text portion of the heading-text pair may be a paragraph or a list of items and the natural language search result may be provided with conventional snippet-based search results in response to the query.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to and is a continuation of US Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 13 / 910,031, filed June 4, 2013, entitled "NATURALLANGUAGESEARCHRESULTSFORINTENTQUERIES," the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Search engines are a popular method of discovering information. Conventionally, search engines crawl documents in a corpus, build an inverted index of the documents, and use the index to determine which documents are responses to search queries. Search results typically include titles from the responsive document and text excerpts from the document that include one or more search terms in the query. Such excerpts are not natural language results and typically do not provide complete understandable answers to non-factual questions for which there is not a single correct answer. While a user can select a link associated with an ...
