Conversational query answering system

Abstract:

Techniques of directing a user to content based on a semantic interpretation of a query input by the user involves generating links to specific content in a collection of documents in response to user string query, the links being generated based on an answer suggestion lookahead index. The answer suggestion lookahead index references a mapping between a plurality of groups of semantically equivalent terms and a respective link to specific content of the collection of documents. These techniques are useful for the generalized task of natural language question answering.
