Vahed Qazvinian holds a patent for a method titled "User query reformulation using random walks." This patent describes a computer-implemented method for reformulating user queries. A graph is created to represent the relationships between previous user query terms. The graph may represent previous user searches in n-grams that correspond to nodes. A random walk analysis is performed to determine the probabilities that various n-grams corresponding to nodes of the graph could effectively alter a user search term. The probabilities quantify the relationships between nodes of the graph. A determination is made regarding whether to reformulate the user query based on the relationship between a user search term in the user query and a graphed search term represented by a node of the graph. This determination takes into account the relationship between the user search term and the graphed search term.
