Abstract
Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for providing search disambiguation using contextual information and domain ontologies are presented. In some embodiments, a computing device may receive a natural language input from a user. The computing device may identify a plurality of hypotheses for the natural language input. The computing device may map the plurality of hypotheses to one or more concepts of a plurality of concepts of an ontology by annotating the one or more concepts. The ontology may include the plurality of concepts respectively connected by a plurality of relations. The computing device may determine that there is an imperfect match between the annotated one or more concepts and annotations of answers. In response, the computing device may disambiguate the annotated one or more concepts using the ontology. The computing device may present output to the user based on the disambiguation.
