Search patent of the week: Generating query variants using a trained generative model ( The Query Fan out model?)
Description
The discussed Google patent concerning a system and method for generating diverse query variants using a trained generative model, particularly a neural network. This system aims to improve search result retrieval by creating real-time variations of user queries, even for rare or novel searches, and supports various types of variants like equivalent or follow-up questions. It incorporates user and contextual attributes to personalize query generation and uses a feedback loop with reinforcement learning to continuously adapt to changing user behavior and optimize performance. Content creators can leverage insights from these generated variants to refine their content strategies, enhance keyword targeting, and improve SEO efforts by aligning content with user intent and evolving search patterns.
