US Patent:

20040111419, Jun 10, 2004
Filed:

Dec 5, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/310408
Inventors:

Daniel Cook - Seattle WA, US
Chad Oftedal - Redmond WA, US
Scott Seiber - Medina WA, US
Matthew Goldberg - Bellevue WA, US
International Classification:

G06F017/00
US Classification:

707/100000
Abstract:

A method and computer-readable medium are provided for constructing a classifier for classifying search queries. The classifier is constructed by receiving a query from a user and applying the query to a classifier to identify the task. An unsupervised mapping between the query and the task is then identified and is used to train a new classifier. Under one embodiment, the unsupervised mapping is identified based on a user's selection of the task.

Appl. No.:

11/830375
Inventors:

Daniel Cook - Seattle WA, US
Chad Oftedal - Redmond WA, US
Scott Seiber - Medina WA, US
Matthew Goldberg - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 17/30
US Classification:

707003000
Abstract:

Multiple different user queries are applied to an automated classifier to identify multiple tasks. For each query, a task is provided to a user. A task selected by the user is logged and a mapping between each query and each selected task is generated. Fewer than all of the mappings are used to train a new classifier, wherein selecting fewer than all of the mappings to train the new classifier comprises selecting mappings based on when the mappings were generated. The new classifier is stored on a computer-readable storage medium.
