Systems and methods for identifying dynamic types in voice queries
The system receives a voice query at an audio interface and converts the voice query to text. The system identifies entities included in the query based on comparison to an information graph, as well as dynamic types based on the structure and format of the query. The system can determine dynamic types by analyzing parts of speech, articles, parts of speech combinations, parts of speech order, influential features, and comparisons of these aspects to references. The system combines tags associated with the identified entities and tags associated with the dynamic types to generate query interpretations. The system compares the interpretations to reference templates, and selects among the query interpretations using predetermined criteria. A search query is generated based on the selected interpretation. The system retrieves content or associated identifiers, updates metadata, updates reference information, or a combination thereof. Accordingly, the system responds to queries that include non-static types.
1. A method for identifying content based on a query, the method comprising:
receiving data that indicates a query;
identifying, from one or more databases, keywords based on the data and the query;
determining that a portion of the query cannot be categorized based on the keywords;
identifying a dynamic categorization associated with the portion of the query by comparing at least one of words, phrases, or parts of speech of the query to tags associated with dynamic categorizations;
generating search tags based on the keywords and the dynamic categorization;
determining content items based on the search tags; and
causing to be outputted the content items.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the keywords are stored in metadata from the one or more databases, and wherein the dynamic categorization is not stored in the metadata.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the dynamic categorization comprises:
determining, based on comparing the at least one of words, phrases, or parts of speech to the tags, a plurality of scores corresponding to the dynamic categorizations,
wherein the dynamic categorization is identified based on the plurality of scores.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data comprises a user identifier, the method further comprising:
determining a profile based on the user identifier; and
identifying the dynamic categorization based on user information from the profile.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein comparing the at least one of words, phrases, or parts of speech comprises comparing a sequence corresponding to the at least one of words, phrases, or parts of speech.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the query is a voice query; and
the data comprises a speech-to-text transcription of the voice query.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a content item of the content items that is most closely associated with the dynamic categorization;
generating a tag that associates the content item with the dynamic categorization; and
storing the tag.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying an entity associated with a keyword of the keywords; and
generating the search tags based on the entity.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein;
the query is received at a user interface; and
the content identifiers are outputted at a display device associated with the user interface.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating a query interpretation based on the search tags,
wherein the content items are determined based on the query interpretation.
11. A system for identifying content based on a query, the system comprising:
one or more input/output (I/O) paths for receiving a query; and
control circuitry configured to:
receive, via the one or more I/O paths, data that indicates a query;
identify, from one or more databases, keywords based on the data and the query;
determine that a portion of the query cannot be categorized based on the keywords;
identify a dynamic categorization associated with the portion of the query by comparing at least one of words, phrases, or parts of speech of the query to tags associated with dynamic categorizations;
generate search tags based on the keywords and the dynamic categorization;
determine content items based on the search tags; and
cause to be outputted the content items.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the keywords are stored in metadata from the one or more databases, and wherein the dynamic categorization is not stored in the metadata.
13. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry, when identifying the dynamic categorization, is configured to:
determine, based on comparing the at least one of words, phrases, or parts of speech to the tags, a plurality of scores corresponding to the dynamic categorizations; and
wherein the control circuitry is further configured to identify the dynamic categorization based on the plurality of scores.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein:
the data comprises a user identifier; and
the control circuitry is further configured to:
determine a profile based on the user identifier; and
identify the dynamic categorization based on user information from the profile.
15. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry, when comparing the at least one of words, phrases, or parts of speech, is configured to compare a sequence corresponding to the at least one of words, phrases, or parts of speech.
16. The system of claim 11 , wherein:
the query is a voice query; and
the data comprises a speech-to-text transcription of the voice query.
17. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
determine a content item of the content items that is most closely associated with the dynamic categorization;
generate a tag that associates the content item with the dynamic categorization; and
store the tag.
18. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
identify an entity associated with a keyword of the keywords; and
generate the search tags based on the entity.
19. The system of claim 11 , wherein:
the query is received at a user interface; and
the control circuitry is further configured to cause the content identifiers to be outputted at a display device associated with the user interface.
20. The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:
generate a query interpretation based on the search tags; and
determine the content items based on the query interpretation.
