Abstract
The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that expand input data. An interface can obtain input data and a wildcard insertion component can modify the input data to include at least one implicit wildcard inserted at an end of each intended word. Additionally, an expansion component can generate a candidate list of expanded data based at least in part on the input data including the at least one implicit wildcard utilizing a language model that provides likely expansions of wildcards. Further, the expansion component can evaluate the input data at a server side.
Claims20
A system that expands input data, comprising:
- an interface that obtains input data;
- a wildcard insertion component that modifies the input data to include at least one implicit wildcard inserted at an end of each intended word;
- and
- an expansion component that generates a candidate list of expanded data based at least in part on the input data including the at least one implicit wildcard utilizing a language model that provides likely expansions of wildcards.
A methodology that facilitates expanding input data, comprising:
- inserting an implicit wildcard into input data at an end of each intended word;
- and
- generating a candidate list of expansions via utilizing a language model that provides likely wildcard expansions.
A system that inserts wildcards and expands input data, comprising:
- means for obtaining input data;
- means for inserting implicit wildcards into the input data to facilitate expanding each intended word;
- and
- means for generating a candidate list of expansions via utilizing a language model that provides likely wildcard expansions.
