Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for determining query suggestions from multiple correlation measures. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a first query and second queries, each of the first and second queries including one or more terms; for each second query and a linear model, receiving correlation scores measuring the correlation between the first query and the respective second query, each correlation score received from a respective correlation process, and each respective correlation process being different from the other respective correlation processes, and applying the linear model to the plurality of correlation scores to determine a combined correlation score that quantifies a combined correlation between the first query and the respective second query based on the plurality of correlation scores. The second queries are ranked in an order according to their respective combined correlations scores.
