Abstract
The techniques describe recommending mobile query suggestions by integrating time and location in response to a query input submitted on a mobile computing device. A process constructs a bipartite graph by extracting users that submitted queries from mobile search logs and associating time and location with the submitted queries. The process determines the users are similar having submitted similar queries at similar times and at similar locations. The process receives a query input associated with a current time and a current location of a mobile computing device. Next, the process computes a relatedness of candidate queries to the query input based on a similarity between the user groups having submitted both the candidate queries and the query input, and distances of times and locations at which the user previously issued the query input and the candidate queries.
