Abstract

Query service receives a query comprising at least a name component. The query service searches a document corpus to identify multiple passages, each comprising a mention of the name component within a selection of one or more documents of the document corpus. The query service collects bins, each bin comprising a distinct selection of the passages from the one or more documents, each of the bins identifying a separate relationship the name component participates in within the distinct selection of passages. The query service assesses a separate score of each respective bin reflecting the relevance of each respective bin to the query. The query service returns a response to the query with the bins each ranked according to each separate score.
