Towards an Understanding of Entity-Oriented Search Intents

چکیده
Entity-oriented search deals with a wide variety of information needs, from displaying direct answers to interacting with services. In this work, we aim to understand what are prominent entity-oriented search intents and how they can be fulfilled. We develop a scheme of entity intent categories, and use them to annotate a sample of queries. Specifically, we annotate unique query refiners on the level of entity types. We observe that, on average, over half of those refiners seek to interact with a service, while over a quarter of the refiners search for information that may be looked up in a knowledge base.

Semi-supervised Learning for Spoken Language Understanding Using Semantic Role Labeling
In a goal-oriented spoken dialog system, the major aim of language understanding is to classify utterances into one or more of the pre-defined intents and extract the associated named entities. Typically, the intents are designed by a human expert according to the application domain. Furthermore, these systems are trained using large amounts of data manually labeled using an already prepared la...

Understanding the intents of the search users have recently been a popular research topic among Information Retrieval community. Accurate inference of the intent is a major goal of today’s search engines. Ranking the relevant Web documents, targeting better advertisements, assisting the user with better suggested queries are just a few applications where understanding the intent plays a key rol...
متن کاملA weakly-supervised approach for discovering new user intents from search query logs
State-of-the art spoken language understanding models that automatically capture user intents in human to machine dialogs are trained with manually annotated data, which is cumbersome and time-consuming to prepare. For bootstrapping the learning algorithm that detects relations in natural language queries to a conversational system, one can rely on publicly available knowledge graphs, such as F...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Query: THCIB and THUIS at NTCIR-10 Intent Task
Understanding intent underlying search query recently attracted enormous research interests. Two challenging issues are worth noting: First, words within query are usually ambiguous while query in most cases is too short to disambiguate. Second, ambiguity in some cases cannot be resolved according merely to the limited query context. It is thus demanded that the ambiguity be resolved/analyzed w...

Due to the huge amount of data published on the Web, the Web search process has become more difficult, and it is sometimes hard to get the expected results, especially when the users are less certain about their information needs. Several efforts have been proposed to support exploratory search on the web by using query expansion, faceted search, or supplementary information extracted from exte...
