User-Guided Term Suggestions

A system including memory and one or more processors operable to execute instructions stored in the memory, wherein the instructions include instructions to:

• identify user input that includes at least one term;
• identify a user-initiated activity near the at least one term;
• identify an edit term of the at least one term based on the user-initiated activity near the at least one term;
• identify an edit position in the edit term;
• identify one or more candidate terms based on the edit term;
• determine similarity measures for the candidate terms, wherein the similarity measure of a given candidate term of the candidate terms is based on the edit position;
• select one or more of the candidate terms as suggested terms based on the similarity measures;
• and
• provide the selected suggested terms for potential replacement of the edit term.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer instructions executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:

• identifying user input that includes at least one term;
• identifying a user-initiated activity near the at least one term;
• identifying an edit term of the at least one term based on the user-initiated activity near the at least one term;
• identifying an edit position in the edit term;
• identifying one or more candidate terms based on the edit term;
• determining similarity measures for the candidate terms, wherein the similarity measure of a given candidate term of the candidate terms is based on the edit position;
• selecting one or more of the candidate terms as suggested terms based on the similarity measures;
• and
• providing the selected suggested terms for potential replacement of the edit term.
