Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In one embodiment, a method includes accessing a social graph that includes a plurality of nodes and edges, receiving an unstructured text query, identifying nodes and edges that correspond to n-grams of the text query, accessing a context-free grammar model, identifying grammars having query tokens that correspond to the identified nodes and edges, determining a score for each identified grammar, and then generating structured queries based on the identified grammars based on strings generated by the grammars.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising, by a computing device: accessing a social graph comprising a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the nodes, each of the edges between two of the nodes representing a single degree of separation between them, the nodes comprising: a first-user node corresponding to a first user associated with an online social network; and a plurality of second nodes that each correspond to a concept or a second user associated with…
