Abstract

The disclosed subject matter relates to a system and method for providing an extended search. The system generates a list of similar intent groups based on previous engagements linking queries and intents. Upon the detection of an intent in a user query, the system accesses similar intents from the similar intent group and incorporates them into the query of the product catalog in order to obtain a complete set of results. The creation of the similar intent groups uses bipartite graphs and graph embedding to identify intents close in distance.
