  • Advanced search-term disambiguation
    Patent number: 10936678
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for advanced search-term disambiguation. Responsive to detecting a search term being entered into an autocomplete search field of a search engine, a determination is made of a set of terms from a storage device upon which a search is to be performed. For each term in the set of terms, a determination is made of a semantic distance and independence (Sdi) score to each term candidate in a set of term candidates. The results of the semantic distance and independence (Sdi) scores are ranked and then pruned down to a predetermined number of autocomplete results. A subset of term candidates associated with the predetermined number of autocomplete results from the set of term candidates is then presented to a user as autocomplete suggestions to the search.
