Multi-word word wheeling
The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that expand input data. An interface can obtain input data and a wildcard insertion component can modify the input data to include at least one implicit wildcard inserted at an end of each intended word. Additionally, an expansion component can generate a candidate list of expanded data based at least in part on the input data including the at least one implicit wildcard utilizing a language model that provides likely expansions of wildcards. Further, the expansion component can evaluate the input data at a server side.
1 . A system that expands input data, comprising:
an interface that obtains input data;
a wildcard insertion component that modifies the input data to include at least one implicit wildcard inserted at an end of each intended word; and
an expansion component that generates a candidate list of expanded data based at least in part on the input data including the at least one implicit wildcard utilizing a language model that provides likely expansions of wildcards.
2 . The system of claim 1 , the wildcard insertion component identifies the end corresponding to each intended word within the input data.
3 . The system of claim 1 , the wildcard insertion component inserts the at least one implicit wildcard before each space within the input data.
4 . The system of claim 1 , the wildcard insertion component provides at least one of an implicit wildcard at a beginning of the input data and an implicit wildcard at a beginning of each intended word in the input data.
5 . The system of claim 1 , the input data includes an explicit wildcard which is expanded by the expansion component via employing the language model.
6 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a conversion component that converts the input data to corresponding alphabetic character data, which is expanded to yield the candidate list of expanded data.
7 . The system of claim 6 , the conversion component converts input data that includes at least one of speech data, handwriting data, and numerical data.
8 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a spelling correction component that modifies at least a portion of the input data to account for a potential spelling error such that the expansion component includes expanded data within the candidate list corresponding to the modified input data.
9 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a search component that performs a search based on a selection from the candidate list of expanded data.
10 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a model training component that trains the language model based on a training set of data.
11 . The system of claim 10 , the model training component further comprises a training set selection component that selects a particular training set of data based on an application associated with the input data.
12 . The system of claim 11 , the training set selection component selects at least one of query logs and web documents based on utilization of a web searching application, documents based on utilization of a text editor application, and instant messaging logs based on utilization of an instant messaging application.
13 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising an update component that dynamically updates the candidate list of expanded data upon entry of each character of the input data.
14 . A methodology that facilitates expanding input data, comprising:
inserting an implicit wildcard into input data at an end of each intended word; and
generating a candidate list of expansions via utilizing a language model that provides likely wildcard expansions.
15 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising training the language model based on a training set of data.
16 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising dynamically updating the candidate list of expansions as the input data is obtained.
17 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising performing a search utilizing a particular one of the expansions from the candidate list.
18 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising performing a search for a most likely expansion automatically and embedding results associated with the search along with the candidate list of expansions.
19 . The method of claim 14 , further comprising generating the candidate list of expansions based at least in part upon obtained location data.
20 . A system that inserts wildcards and expands input data, comprising:
means for obtaining input data;
means for inserting implicit wildcards into the input data to facilitate expanding each intended word; and
means for generating a candidate list of expansions via utilizing a language model that provides likely wildcard expansions.
