SERVER AND METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING ENTITIES OF A QUERY

Abstract:

A server, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for ranking a plurality of data sources are provided. The server includes a network interface, a memory storage unit and a processor. The method involves receiving an input query, identifying entities of the input query using conditional random fields, generating a normalized query and applying a support vector machine to the normalized query. The non-transitory computer readable medium is encoded with programming instructions to direct a processor to carry out the method.
