In order to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present invention are provided with the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments, and it should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments and the examples of the present invention are the detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not limitations of the technical solutions of the present invention, and the technical features in the embodiments and the examples of the present invention may be combined with each other without conflict.

In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present invention provides an input recommendation method, please refer to fig. 1, including:

step S101: obtaining key data information for determining recommendation candidate items;

step S102: determining M candidate sentences based on a language model through the key data information, wherein the M candidate sentences at least comprise first-level keywords and second-level keywords, the first-level keywords are determined based on the key data information, and the second-level keywords are determined based on the first-level keywords;

step S103: and taking at least part of content of each candidate sentence in the M candidate sentences as recommendation candidate items of the key data information.

For example, the scheme may be applied to a client device, such as: the mobile phone, the tablet computer, the notebook computer, the PC, and the like may also be applied to the network server, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. If the scheme is applied to the client device, the client device directly obtains key data information on the client device and determines recommendation candidate items based on the key data information; if the scheme is applied to the network server, the network server can receive the key data information sent by the client device, then the recommendation candidate items are determined through the key data information, and after the recommendation candidate items are determined, the network server can send the recommendation candidate items to the client device so as to provide the recommendation candidate items for the user of the client device to input. The scheme can be applied to the input process of the input method application program, and the obtained recommendation candidate items are provided by the input method application program.

In step S101, the key data information may include a plurality of kinds of information, and two kinds of information are listed below for description, but of course, in the specific implementation process, the following two cases are not limited, and in addition, in the case of no conflict, the following two cases may be used in combination.

First, the key data information includes: and a preset number of keywords located in front of the current input cursor.

For example, the preset number may be a default number, such as: 1. 2, etc., for example: assuming that the current input area contains the following input content "see beijing yesterday", if the preset number is 1, it may be determined that the key data information includes "beijing", and if the preset number is 2, it may be determined that the key data information includes "see" + "beijing", and the like; the preset number may also be determined by analyzing a number of characters in front of the current input cursor, for example: determining a word in a preset category closest to a current input cursor, and then using the content behind the word in the preset category as key data information, wherein the word in the preset category comprises: the assistant words, verbs, and the like are also exemplified by "yesterday sees beijing", the last verb is "see", and the last assistant word is "see", so that the content "beijing" after "see" is determined as the key data information.

Second, the key data information includes: and the preferred keywords corresponding to the currently input character string.

For example, assuming that the currently inputted character string is "aiqiing", which provides the following four recommended keywords ① love ② love paniculate ③ Aiqing ④ love, the preferred keyword therein is "love", so that the keyword "love" can be used as the preferred keyword.

In addition, the above two modes can be used in combination, for example: the preset number of keywords and the preferred keywords in front of the current position are used as the key data information together, for example, if the preset number of keywords in front of the current position are 'Beijing', the preferred keywords are 'love', and thus the key data information can be determined to be 'Beijing love'.

In step S102, the language model refers to a model established based on context-dependent features of natural language, and can describe the distribution of the probability of occurrence of a given word sequence in the language. The language model is, for example, an n-gram language model, a neural network language model, or the like.

In the specific implementation process, the first-level keywords may be determined in the following manner: and determining keywords with the occurrence probability meeting a first preset probability condition under the condition that the key data information occurs as the first-level keywords based on the language model.

The first preset probability condition is, for example: the occurrence probability is located in the first few digits (e.g., 3, 5, etc.), the occurrence frequency is greater than a preset frequency (e.g., 1000, 2000, etc.), and the like, wherein if the key data information only contains one keyword, it may be directly determined that the keyword whose occurrence probability satisfies a first preset probability condition is taken as a first-level keyword when the keyword occurs, taking the keyword as "beijing", for example, it may be obtained that the keyword whose occurrence frequency is located in the first 4 digits is taken as the first-level keyword when the keyword "beijing" occurs, and the first-level keyword includes, for example: love, time, subway, bus; if the key data information contains a plurality of keywords, it can be determined that, under the condition that all the keywords occur, the keywords whose occurrence probability satisfies the first preset probability condition are used as the first-level keywords, taking the key data information as "beijing love", for example, it can be obtained that, under the condition that the keywords "beijing" + "love" occur, the keywords whose occurrence times are located at the top 3 positions are used as the first-level keywords, and the first-level keywords include, for example: stories, movies, television shows; or select a part of keywords in the key data information to determine the first-level keywords, which is not listed in detail in the embodiment of the present invention and is not limited.

In another alternative embodiment, the first level keywords may also be obtained by: obtaining at least one sampled text; extracting sentences with the occurrence times larger than the preset times in the at least one sampling text as preset sentences; inquiring in preset sentences to obtain key sentences based on the key data information; and extracting a first keyword contained after the key data information in the key sentence as a first-level keyword.

For example, the sample text is, for example: each network text on the network can be matched in the preset sentence through partial keywords or keywords in the key data information to obtain the key sentence. Assuming that the following key sentence "Beijing love story # TV drama" is matched through the key data information "Beijing", the first keyword after "Beijing" is "love", thereby determining that "love" is the first-level keyword. Of course, the matched first-level keywords are different based on different key data information, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

In the specific implementation process, the second level keyword can be determined in various ways, and two of the second level keywords are listed below for description, but of course, the second level keyword is not limited to the following two cases in the specific implementation process.

Firstly, based on the language model, determining that the keywords meeting a second preset probability condition are used as second-level keywords under the condition that any keywords in the first-level keywords appear.

For example, assume that the first level keywords include: b is₁、B₂Then it can be determined that the keyword B is₁Under the condition of occurrence, the keyword C meeting a second preset probability condition₁、C₂It can also be determined that the keyword B is₂Under the condition of occurrence, the keyword C meeting a second preset probability condition₃、C₄Thus, it can be determined that the second level keywords include: c₁、C₂、C₃、C₄The second preset probability condition is satisfied, for example: when the first-level keyword occurs, the occurrence frequency is greater than the preset frequency, the trip frequency is ranked in the first digits, and the like, where the second preset probability condition may be the same as or different from the preset frequency corresponding to the first preset probability condition, and the second preset probability condition may be the same as or different from the first digits corresponding to the second preset probability condition, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

Secondly, determining keywords meeting a second preset probability condition as second-level keywords under the condition that any keyword in the key data information and the first-level keywords appears based on the language model.

For example, assuming that the key data information is a, the first level keywords include: b is₁、B₂Then it can be determined at AB₁And under the condition of simultaneous occurrence, the keyword C meeting a second preset probability condition₅、C₆AB can also be determined₂And under the condition of simultaneous occurrence, the keyword C meeting a second preset probability condition₇、C₈And, thus, the second level keywords include: c₅、C₆、C₇、C₈And so on.

In addition, in the specific implementation process, after the second-level keywords are determined, the next-level keywords can be determined through the second-level keywords, and in general, the (i + 1) th-level keywords can be determined through the ith-level keywords based on the language model until the L-level keywords are determined.

For example, the value of L may be any value preset, such as: 2. 3, etc. may also be obtained by subtracting the number of keywords included in the key data information from a preset value, where the preset value may be a preset value, for example: 4. 5, etc., as an alternative embodiment, the preset value may be determined by: determining an input environment where the electronic equipment is located when the key data information is obtained; and determining the preset value based on the input environment.

The input environment includes, for example: a video search environment, an audio search environment, a web search environment, a goods search environment, etc., where video data is searched for in the video search environment, audio data is searched for in the audio search environment, web data is searched for in the web search environment, goods are searched for in the goods search environment, where the input environment may be determined by the type of input box or the current page type, for example: if the input box is used to search for video data, the input environment may be determined to be a video search environment, if the input box is used to search for audio data, the input environment may be determined to be an audio search environment, and so on; for another example, if the current page is a search engine, the input environment may be determined to be a web search environment, if the current page is a shopping website, the input environment may be determined to be a merchandise search environment, and so on. Under different input environments, due to different input purposes, the number of the input keywords is different, and based on the scheme, the more accurate length of the candidate sentence can be determined.

As an alternative embodiment, the L value in each input environment may be determined by: acquiring the number of keywords input by a user in each search operation under each input environment; and determining the L value under the corresponding input environment by searching the number of the input keywords each time under the corresponding environment.

For example, the user here may be a user of the current client device, or may be at least one sampling user of the system, and if the user is the user of the current client device, a more accurate L value may be determined, and if the user is at least one sampling user, since the value only needs to determine the preset value for a part of sampling users, and does not need to determine the preset value for each user, the processing load of the device (client device or server) can be reduced.

In each input environment, after the number of the input keywords is obtained and searched each time, the average value of the number of the keywords may be calculated as the preset value in the corresponding input environment, and then the maximum number of the keywords may be obtained as the preset value in the corresponding input environment, and so on.

In the specific implementation process, after keywords at all levels are determined, the key data information is combined with the determined keywords at levels 1 to L to obtain N sentences.

For example, assuming the keyword data information is A, the first level keywords include B₁、B₂By first level keywords B₁The determined second level keywords comprise C₁、C₂By first level keywords B₂The determined second level keywords comprise: c₃、C₄Thus, the following four sentences can be determined:

①A→B₁→C₁

②A→B₁→C₂

③A→B₂→C₃

①A→B₂→C₄

after the N sentences are determined, the N sentences may be directly used as M candidate sentences, and as an alternative embodiment, a part of sentences may be screened from the N sentences as M candidate sentences, in this case, referring to fig. 2, the M candidate sentences may be determined by:

step S201: after the L-level keywords are determined, N sentences are obtained based on the combination of the key data information and the determined 1 st to L-level keywords, N is an integer not less than M, the i +1 th-level keywords are keywords meeting the i-th preset probability condition under the condition that the i-th-level keywords appear, and i is an integer from 1 to L-1;

step S202: scoring the N sentences based on the language model to obtain the comprehensive score value of each sentence;

step S203: and screening and obtaining sentences of which the comprehensive score values meet the preset score value condition from the N sentences as the M candidate sentences.

In step S201, as to how to determine N statements specifically, the description is omitted here because the description is already given above.

In step S202, the comprehensive score value of each of the N sentences may be determined in a variety of ways, and two of the N sentences are listed below for introduction, which is of course not limited to the following two cases in the specific implementation process.

First, the scoring the N sentences based on the language model to obtain a comprehensive score value of each sentence includes:

based on the language model, respectively performing 2-k-element scoring on each statement in the N statements based on the contained keywords, wherein k is not larger than L, and the number of the keywords contained in the key data information is subtracted;

For example, if the preset value is 5, it indicates that the number of keywords included in the corresponding sentence is 5, and if the preset value is 3, it indicates that the number of keywords included in the corresponding sentence is 3, and so on, wherein, the sentence is AB₁C₁Then its 2-tuple score is: l is₂＝P(AB₁)+P(B₁C₁) Wherein P (A)₁B₁) Indicates that in the case of occurrence of keyword A, keyword B₁Can determine that the keyword B appears under the condition that the keyword A appears₁And determines the number of occurrences of all keywords in the case of occurrence of keyword a, and then passes keyword B₁Is divided by the number of occurrences of all keywords, so that P (AB) can be obtained₁)，P(B₁C₁) The calculation method is similar to that of the above method, and is not described herein again; its 3 yuan is divided into L₃＝P(AB₁C₁) Represented at keyword A, B₁In case of simultaneous occurrence, keyword C₁Wherein the probability of occurrence at the keyword A, B can be determined₁In case of simultaneous occurrence, keyword C₁And determines the number of occurrences at keyword A, B₁All in the case of simultaneous occurrenceNumber of occurrences of keyword, then by keyword C₁Is divided by the number of occurrences of all keywords, P (AB) can be determined₁C₁). The statement AB thus obtained₁C₁The integrated score value of (a) is: l ═ x₁*L₂+x₂*L₃Wherein x is₁Weight, x, representing a binary score₂Weight, x, representing a 3-dimensional score₁+x₂The method for calculating the comprehensive score value is similar to that of the sentence length of other preset values, and thus is not described in detail. In order to reduce the computational complexity, a beam search algorithm (beam search) may be selected, that is, only words that are ranked in the first few binary digits (e.g., 3, 5, etc.) of the previous word are selected as candidates when predicting the next associated word, so as to reduce the complexity.

In the specific implementation process, the comprehensive score value of the corresponding sentence is calculated after the whole sentence is obtained, for example: if the preset value is 5, calculating the comprehensive score value when the sentence length reaches 5, and if the preset value is 3, calculating the comprehensive score value when the sentence length reaches 3, and the like; the comprehensive score value of the sentence can be calculated once each time the first-level keyword is obtained, and if the comprehensive score value is smaller than the preset score value, the next-level keyword can be stopped being obtained, so that the processing load of the equipment can be reduced. The preset score value may be set according to actual requirements, for example: 0.1, 0.01, etc., embodiments of the present invention are not limited.

Secondly, determining the occurrence frequency of the next level keyword under the condition that the previous level keyword occurs based on the language model; and adding the occurrence times of the keywords at all levels in each sentence to obtain a comprehensive scoring value.

For example, assume a statement AB₁C₁Then it can be determined that keyword B occurred in the case of keyword a₁Then determines the number of occurrences in the keyword B₁Key word C in case of occurrence₁And then adds them to obtain a sentenceAB₁C₁The integrated score value of (a).

In step S203, the sentences ranked in the top several places (e.g., 3, 5, etc.) or having the comprehensive score value greater than the preset score value (e.g., 0.3, 0.15, etc.) may be screened out from the N sentences as the sentences having the comprehensive score value satisfying the preset score value condition, so as to obtain M candidate sentences.

In step S103, the recommendation candidates may be determined based on various principles, and two of the recommendation candidates are listed below for introduction, which is not limited to the following two cases in the specific implementation process.

First, the using at least a part of the content of each of the M candidate sentences as recommendation candidates of the key data information includes:

For example, assuming that the key data information is "beijing", 3 candidate sentences are obtained in total, which are respectively as follows:

① Beijing # love story # film edition # ending

② Beijing # love story # TV play # ending

③ Beijing # love story # TV play # first album

Then the keyword "beijing" may be removed from each candidate sentence to obtain the following 3 recommended candidates:

① love story # movie edition # ending

② love story TV play ending

③ love story # TV play # first album

Based on the scheme, the display area for displaying the recommendation candidates can be reduced.

Secondly, the using at least a part of the content of each candidate sentence in the M candidate sentences as recommendation candidates of the key data information includes: and taking the whole content of each candidate sentence as a recommendation candidate item of the key data information.

Or taking the key data information mentioned above as "beijing" as an example, the obtained candidate sentences may not be processed, but the candidate sentences may be directly used as recommended candidates.

In addition, when the recommendation candidate item determined based on the candidate sentence is provided to the user, in order to prevent the recommendation candidate item provided based on the input character string from being blocked, the recommendation candidate item determined based on the candidate sentence may be displayed at the bottom or the top of the recommendation candidate item provided based on the character string, and of course, may also be displayed in other areas, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
