  • Patent number: 11327984
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for query expansion are provided. For example, a search user interface is populated with search results of a query submitted through a computing device. User input is received through the search user interface for an object, such as a drag and drop command of a phrase occurring within the search results. The user input may drag the phrase from a search result to a query input user interface. In this way, the query is modified based upon the object, such as where the phrase is added to the query to create a modified query. Second search results for the modified query are displayed through the search user interface.

  • Patent number: 11262978
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed. The techniques include receiving, by a computing device, an answer to a query, the answer comprising a content element and a metadata element. Based on the content element and the metadata element, the techniques generate a presentable sentence of a plurality of presentable sentences. The techniques then utilize a machine learning model to determine a relevance score for the presentable sentence based on the query and the presentable sentence, the relevance score being of a set of relevance scores and corresponding to a measure of relevance with respect to the presentable sentence answering the query. The techniques then select a portion of the plurality of presentable sentences based on a ranking of the set of relevance scores and transmit the portion to a user device for presentation on a voice-based interface of the user device.
