Any chance you have any open source links that discuss how you practically operate a system based on the concept you describe (manual query rewrite w/i a session as your data set)? Perhaps it's obvious to an NLP person how to reduce that "idea" to practice, but it is not to me!
You're definitely right about the idea though - a former Search engineer obliquely mentioned that this sort of session based manual query rewriting was very core to how the synonym system worked.
- cdavid 2y agoIt is hard to find modern references on this. When I led a search group, coming from an ML but non search background, I found the following most useful 1. Query understanding series: https://queryunderstanding.com/query-understanding-8a2b16024c5b https://queryunderstanding.com/query-understanding-8a2b16024... 2. Deep learning for search in manning. It covers some non DL techniques Then it is mostly papers and talking to people. Berlin buzzword has videos of all talks and is very non academic but technical.
