ANSWERING PEOPLE-RELATED QUESTIONS

摘要

A computer device may receive a search query from a user of a user device, determine that the search query is a people-related question, and identify, using a data structure, a set of people related to the search query, where the data structure is associated with the user, and where the data structure stores people-related data for a group of people with which the user is associated. The computer device may also determine whether to provide information relating to the set of people, and selectively provide, to the user device, one of a first document or a second document. The first document identifies at least one person in the set of people and provides information relating to the at least one person, where the information, relating to the at least one person, provides an answer to the people-related question. The second document excludes information relating to the set of people.
