Abstract
A system for synonym generation and/or identification can be utilized to make a search engine more effective in finding relevant search results. In embodiments, a synonym generation system includes a phrase vector module, a vector similarity module, and a vector filter module. Candidate synonym phrase pairs are selected from data sources for analysis. Data sources may include a log of search queries, a corpus of web text, and a set of merchant descriptions of products. The data sources may be analyzed with respect to the phrase pairs to generate vector representations of the phrase pairs. The vector representations may then be analyzed to determine a similarity vector. The similarity vector allows the synonym generation system to filter synonyms from the candidate phrase pairs.
