Abstract

In this paper, a phrase recommender algorithm is proposed that suggests the related frequent phrases to an incomplete user query. The suggested phrases are extracted from past user queries based on the frequency rate of the phrases. A query recommender algorithm called OQD (Online Query Discovery) has also been designed for comparison purposes. Simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed phrase recommender algorithm compared to the OQD. The phrase recommender algorithm significantly reduces the size of the candidate set, which results in smaller memory usage and better performance, while recommending more appropriate phrases to the user.
