  • Patent number: 12625919
    Abstract: Technology is disclosed for programmatically generating a summary by a language model of search results based on the corresponding relevance of the search results to an input search query to a search engine. A user inputs a search query into a search engine and the search engine determines and ranks a set of search results based on the relevance of each of the search results. A snippet of information is determined for the most relevant search results to the input search query. The snippets of information are used to generate an input prompt to a language model with an instruction to generate a summary of the snippets of information based on the input search query. The generated summary is provided in response to the user to the search query and/or is cached in order to provide the generated summary in response to similar search queries.

  • Patent number: 9430586
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage media are provided for reference resolution. The present invention seeks to resolve entities in conversational search. To enable a more natural conversational search interaction, referential expressions such as pronouns are handled in queries. A component keeps track of previous queries and performs reference resolution based on an entity in the previous query and reformulates the query using an identifier for the referenced entity. Reference resolution may be performed for pronouns, plural pronouns, partial names, across domains, and on any device or platform.
