  • RELEVANT PASSAGE RETRIEVAL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20190303375
    Abstract: A new architecture is provided to support a precise information retrieval system on a web scale. The architecture provides algorithms to generate candidates and select the top N results via ranking models (e.g., Semantic ranking models, Aggregation ranking models) to capture term relationships between query and result contents at search-time.

  • PER-DOCUMENT INDEX FOR SEMANTIC SEARCHING
    Publication number: 20150234917
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-storage medium for generating a per-document index used for semantic searching is provided. A document is received and parsed into a plurality of section. Each term in each section is translated in order to at least one of a cache index or a term identifier. Subsequent to translating the terms, each section is separately group encoded to generate the per-document index. The per-document index is stored in association with a data store.

  • SEMANTIC RANKING USING A FORWARD INDEX
    Publication number: 20140081941
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer-readable media for generating semantic ranking features using a forward index are provided. A search query is received and is analyzed for one or more semantic units including semantic patterns, topical categories, and entities. A forward index comprising a plurality of documents is accessed and semantic units associated with each of the documents are analyzed. The semantic units include semantic patterns, topical categories, unigrams, bigrams, and entities. Documents who share substantially similar semantic units with the search query are identified, and the ranking of the identified documents is adjusted based on the substantially similar semantic units.
