First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of constructing a classifier for classifying user inputs, the method comprising:
- receiving an input from a user;
applying the input to a first classifier to identify a category;
creating an unsupervised mapping between the input and the category identified by the first classifier; and
using the unsupervised mapping to train a new classifier.

Abstract
A method and computer-readable medium are provided for constructing a classifier for classifying search queries. The classifier is constructed by receiving a query from a user and applying the query to a classifier to identify the task. An unsupervised mapping between the query and the task is then identified and is used to train a new classifier. Under one embodiment, the unsupervised mapping is identified based on a user'"'"'s selection of the task.

15. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps comprising:
-
applying a user query to an automated classifier to identify a task;
providing the task to the user;
receiving an indication that the user selected the task; and
using the query and the task to train a new classifier based in part on the user'"'"'s selection of the task. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
