Abstract
Systems and methods are described for identifying a target entity that a user intends to refer to based on input that may include only a partial name of the entity. A system may receive a user's entity search query, which may include a partial entity name, then may determine initial candidate matching entities and associated name match scores for each of the initial candidate matching entities relative to the input string, such as using string matching or fuzzy matching techniques. The system may apply a probability match model to generate an overall match score for individual ones of the initial candidate matching entities, then may generate a response to the entity search query that includes information regarding one or more of the initial candidate matching entities with an overall match score exceeding a threshold.
