Aspect pre-selection using machine learning

A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:

• extracting, by the computing device, a user identifier from input data, the input data generated as part of a natural-language conversation between a user and an artificial assistant system;
• locating, by the computing device, a model based on the user identifier, the model trained as part of machine learning;
• generating, by the computing device, data describing an aspect of a category, the generating performed by processing the input data using the located model as part of machine learning;
• generating, by the computing device, a search query based on the input data, the generating including automatically adding the data describing the aspect to the search query without user intervention;
• automatically initiating, by the computing device responsive to the generating of the search query, a search using the search query that includes the data;
• and
• outputting, by the computing device, a result of the search performed using the search query and the data describing the aspect, the result including an indication that the data is added to the search query and an option displayed proximal to the data that is user selectable to remove the data from the search query.

A computing device comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the processing system, causes the processing system to perform operations including:
• receiving data describing a natural-language conversation performed via a user interface;
• identifying an aspect by processing the data describing the natural-language conversation using a model trained as part of machine learning;
• automatically adding, without user intervention, text of the aspect to a search query responsive to the identifying and without indicating, in the user interface, the adding of the text to the search query;
• and
• outputting a result of a search performed using the search query and an indication that the text of the specified aspect is added to the search query.
