Abstract
Described is a system that matches a query with a set of sentences. When a query is received, the system may extract features from the query including one or more words as tokens and retrieve a set of candidate sentences as potential results for the query. For example, the query may be in the form of a question, and the candidate sentences may be alternative phrasings of the query that potentially match the user's search intent. The relevant set of candidate sentences may be determined based on using multiple relevancy scores and the system may rank the candidates according to an overall or aggregate score. Accordingly, the set of results to a query may be provided by recognizing the sentence as a whole and, for example when the query is a question, the interrogative intent of the query.
