Abstract

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for generating multiple semantic hypotheses for search query intent understanding. In aspects, a search query may be received by a query analysis component associated with a search system. The query analysis component may be used to evaluate the search query for ambiguity in the domain, intent, and/or slot(s) of the search query. A set of hypotheses representing for one or more combinations of the domain, intent, and/or slot(s) of the search query may be generated. The set of hypotheses may be scored and/or ranked. Based on the scores/ranks, one or more of the hypotheses in the set of hypotheses may be provided to a user and/or one or more processing components accessible to the search system.
