TLDR
In this article, a system receives a voice search query from a user, derives one or more recognition hypotheses, each associated with a weight, from the voice search queries, and constructs a weighted boolean query using the recognition hypotheses.Abstract:
A system provides search results from a voice search query. The system receives a voice search query from a user, derives one or more recognition hypotheses, each being associated with a weight, from the voice search query, and constructs a weighted boolean query using the recognition hypotheses. The system then provides the weighted boolean query to a search system and provides the results of the search system to a user.read more
