Method and apparatus for using a discriminative classifier for processing a query

摘要

A method and apparatus for using a classifier for processing a query are disclosed. For example, the method receives a query from a user, and processes the query to locate one or more documents in accordance with a search engine having a discriminative classifier, wherein the discriminative classifier is trained with a plurality of artificial query examples. The method then presents a result of the processing to the user.

1. A method for processing a query, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, the query from a user; processing, by the processor, the query to locate a document in accordance with a search engine having a discriminative classifier, wherein the discriminative classifier is trained with a plurality of artificial query examples, wherein the artificial query examples comprise simulated queries automatically generated from terms in the document, wherein each of the artificial query examples further comprises a name and metadata information associated with the name, wherein one of the simulated queries comprises a plurality of the terms selected from the document; retraining, by the processor, the discriminative classifier based on an update to the document and based on an example derived from a log of previous searches; and presenting, by the processor, a result of the processing to the user.
