SYNONYM IDENTIFICATION BASED ON SELECTED SEARCH RESULT

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for evaluating terms that are candidate substitute terms for query terms, and revising search queries to include substitute terms. When search results are returned in response to a search query, text associated with a search result is examined to identify a particular term that is not found in the search query. The association score for the particular term as a substitute for a query term is incremented.
