Method and apparatus of recommending candidate terms based on geographical location
The disclosure provides a method and device for recommending a candidate word according to a geographic position. The method may include receiving a coded character string of a user by a computing device. The computing device may collect geographic position information corresponding to the coded character string, and then determine a geographic area in which the geographic position information is located. The computing device may obtain a geographic candidate word corresponding to the coded character string according to a geographic word stock of the determined geographic area. The geographic word stock of the geographic area may store the coded character strings and a corresponding geographic word according to the geographic area. As compared to current technologies, complexity of input can be reduced and intelligence of an input method can be improved.
1. A method comprising:
receiving a sequence of at least one letter from a user device;
determining location information associated with the user device;
mapping the received sequence of at least one letter and the location information with a database of multiple terms, a term of the multiple terms being related to a stored sequence of at least one letter and a context location based on a historical correlation between the term and the stored sequence of at least one letter in the context location;
providing a candidate term out of the multiple terms as corresponding to the received sequence of at least one letter on the mapping; and
displaying the candidate term as corresponding to the received sequence of at least one letter.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the context location includes a range of geographic location points.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the displaying the candidate term includes causing to display the candidate term in a manner configured to receive a user feedback on the candidate term.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising updating the database of multiple terms based on a user feedback on the provided candidate term.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the database includes multiple terms as related to the stored sequence of at least one letter and the context location, each of the multiple terms being assigned a utilization score in the context location.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the receiving the sequence of at least one letter from the user device includes receiving a first sequence of at least one letter and a second sequence of at least one letter, and wherein the second sequence includes the first sequence.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the providing the candidate term based on the mapping includes providing a first candidate term based on mapping the first sequence with the database and providing a second candidate term based on mapping the second sequence with the database.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received sequence of at least one letter includes a word abbreviation.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received sequence of at least one letter is in a first form of a language and the candidate term is in a second form of a language.
10. A machine learning method comprising:
receiving, from a user device, a sequence of at least one letter;
determining location information associated with the user device;
mapping the received sequence of at least one letter and the location information with a database of multiple terms, the database relating a term to a stored sequence of at least one letter and a location range based on a historical correlation between the term and the stored sequence of at least one letter in the location range;
providing a candidate term out of the multiple terms as corresponding to the received sequence of at least one letter based on the mapping;
displaying the candidate term as corresponding to the received sequence of at least one letter;
receiving a user feedback on the candidate term; and
updating the database based on the user feedback.
11. The machine learning method of claim 10 , wherein the mapping includes determining that the location information is within a location range related to the candidate term.
12. The machine learning method of claim 10 , wherein updating includes updating a utilization score of the candidate term as related to the received sequence of at least one letter in a location range that encloses the location information.
13. The machine learning method of claim 10 , wherein the database includes multiple terms as related to the stored sequence of at least one letter and the location range, each of the multiple terms being assigned a utilization score in the location range.
14. The machine learning method of claim 10 , wherein the received sequence of at least one letter includes a word abbreviation.
15. The machine learning method of claim 10 , wherein the received sequence of at least one letter is in a first form of a language and the candidate term is in a second form of a language.
16. The machine learning method of claim 10 , wherein the database includes a geographic word stock related to a location range, and the geographic word stock is constructed by:
determining a utilization frequency of a geographic word in the location range;
determining that the utilization frequency of the geographic word is greater than a threshold value; and
storing the geographic word as corresponding to a corresponding stored sequence of at least one letter in the database.
17. The machine learning method of claim 16 , wherein the utilization frequency of the geographic word in the location range is determined in relation to the corresponding stored sequence of at least one letter.
18. A method comprising:
providing a server including a database of multiple terms, the database relating a term to a stored sequence of at least one letter and a geographic area based on a historical correlation between the term and the stored sequence of at least one letter in the geographic area; and
providing a set of executable instructions configured to be installed in a user device, which, when installed in the user device and executed by a processing unit of the user device, are operable to configure the processing unit to perform operations including:
detecting a user input into the user device;
acquiring a sequence of at least one letter from the detected user input;
transmitting the acquired sequence of at least one letter to the server for the server to map the acquired sequence of at least one letter with the database of the multiple terms based on location information of the user device to obtain a candidate term;
receiving the candidate term from the server; and
displaying the candidate term as corresponding to the user input.
19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the detecting the user input includes detecting a partial input of an on-going user input.
20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the acquired sequence of at least one letter is in a first form of a language and the candidate term is in a second form of a language.
