SEMANTIC ENTITY SEARCH USING VECTOR SPACE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18365075 titled 'SEMANTIC ENTITY SEARCH USING VECTOR SPACE

Simplified Explanation

- The patent application describes a method for semantic search using a vector space representation of concepts in a semantic ontology. - The vector space representation is based on weights of a neural network trained using triples from the semantic ontology. - The method includes presenting a semantic search user interface with a text input portion, a suggested search portion, and a search results portion. - The user can enter a search query, which is converted into a vector representation using a processor. - The method computes a set of possible concepts related to the search query based on the distance between the vector and other concepts in the vector space representation. - The set of possible concepts is then presented in the suggested search portion of the user interface.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method may include storing a vector space representation of a set of concepts in a semantic ontology, wherein locations of the set of concepts in the vector space are based on weights of a neural network trained using triples from the semantic ontology; presenting a semantic search user interface including: a text input portion to receive a search query from an input device; a suggested search portion; and a search results portion; receiving, from a user computing device, the search query; converting, using at least one processor, the search query into a vector; computing, using the at least one processor, a set of possible concepts related to the search query based on a distance between the vector and other concepts in the vector space representation; and presenting the set of possible concepts related to the search query in the suggested search portion of the semantic search user interface.
