Detecting name-triggering queries

摘要

A system may be configured to receive a query; identify an object and a verb associated with the query; obtain information indicating a quantity of occurrences, in one or more documents, of the object in a sentence that may include the verb, or a quantity of occurrences, in one or more documents, of one or more terms, which are related to the object, in a sentence that may include the verb; generate a confidence score that may indicate a probability that the query seeks a result relating to a name of a person; identify a set of documents that are responsive to the query; determine that the confidence score satisfies a threshold; identify one or more documents, of the set of documents, that are associated with one or more names of people; select a particular document, of the set of documents; and output information regarding the selected particular document.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving a search query; determining that the search query is classified as a potential name-triggering query, wherein a name-triggering query is a query for which a response is to include a person's name; based on determining that the search query is classified as a potential name-triggering query, extracting a verb and an object from the search query; identifying a set of data structures, from among a repository of data structures, that store data referencing a form of the verb that was extracted from the search query; identifying a subset of the data structures that store data referencing the object, or a term that is related to the object; determining a name-triggering score for the search query based on the subset of data structures, wherein the count is determined based on a quantity of occurrences of the object being associated, in a collection of resources, with a person's name; identifying a set of resources that are responsive to the search query; determining that the name-triggering score satisfies a threshold; identifying, based on determining that the name-triggering score satisfies the threshold, one or more resources, of the set of resources, that are associated with one or more names of one or more people; selecting a particular resource from the set of resources; and outputting information regarding the selected particular resource.
