  • Patent number: 11294873
    Abstract: One or more systems and/or methods of generating a query-goal-mission structure for a set of queries are provided. A set of queries may be evaluated to identify query information for the queries within the set of queries. The queries may be evaluated as query pairs to determine common goal probabilities (e.g., likelihood two queries correspond to a particular goal, such as to identify vacation planning information) for the query pairs. Responsive to the common goal probabilities for the query pairs exceeding a goal probability threshold, the query pairs may be grouped into goal clusters. The goal clusters may be evaluated as goal cluster pairs to determine common mission probabilities. Responsive to the common mission probabilities for the goal cluster pairs exceeding a mission probability threshold, the goal clusters may be grouped into mission clusters. The mission clusters and the goal clusters may be utilized to generate a query-goal-mission structure.

  • Patent number: 10769547
    Abstract: One or more client devices, systems, and/or methods of improving mobile searches are provided. A feature (e.g., “snow boots”), generated on a client device, is identified. The feature is evaluated to identify a goal (e.g., finding snow boots) associated with the feature. A mission (e.g., finding outdoor apparel), associated with the goal, is identified. A query (e.g., “outdoor stores near Akron”) associated with a second goal (e.g., find outdoor apparel store) associated with the mission is identified using a model generated utilizing a machine learning method trained using a query-goal-mission structure. A query recommendation (e.g., “outdoor apparel store”) comprising the query is presented to the user. A user satisfaction metric, associated with the query, the query recommendation, a result generated by the query recommendation, etc. is determined based upon user interaction with the query recommendation and the result. The model may be tuned based upon the user satisfaction metric.
