Abstract
An annotating system aids a user in mapping a large number of queries to tasks to obtain training data for training a search component. The annotating system includes a query log containing a large quantity of queries which have previously been submitted to a search engine. A task list containing a plurality of possible tasks is stored. A machine learning component processes the query log data and the task list data. For each of a plurality of query entries corresponding to the query log, the machine learning component suggests a best guess task for potential query-to-task mapping as a function of the training data. A graphical user interface generating component is configured to display the plurality of query entries in the query log in a manner which associates each of the displayed plurality of query entries with its corresponding suggested best guess task.
