Once a first corpus of phrases has been generated, these phrases may be filtered to define a second corpus of phrases. Phrases of this second corpus may then be suggested to one or more users.

  • Patent number: 9298700
    Abstract: Techniques for determining phrases that are related or similar to a source phrase are described herein.

The techniques may then filter out a portion of the second set of phrases before outputting another portion for use as an identifier, for association with a user account or for any other use.
