Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for performing a natural language search. During operation, the system applies a first machine learning model to a natural language query to predict one or more search intentions associated with the natural language query. Next, the system applies a second machine learning model to the natural language query to produce one or more search parameters associated with a first intention in the search intention(s), wherein the search parameter(s) include a field and a value of the field. The system then performs a first search of a first vertical associated with the first intention using the search parameter(s). Finally, the system generates a ranking containing a first set of search results from the first search of the first vertical and outputs at least a portion of the ranking in a response to the natural language query.
