The server 105 may also find search results corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user in the search engine, and push the search results corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user in the search engine and the aggregate information to the user.


It should be appreciated that the numbers of the terminal devices, the networks and the servers in FIG. 1 are merely illustrative. Any number of terminal devices, networks and servers may be provided based on the actual requirements.


Referring to FIG. 2, a flow of an embodiment of a method for providing an aggregate result of question-and-answer information according to the present disclosure is shown. It should be noted that the method for providing an aggregate result of question-and-answer information provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may be performed by a server (for example, the server 105 in FIG. 1). The method includes the following steps.


Step 201, acquiring a search expression inputted by a user, and determining an entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user.


In this embodiment, after the user inputs the search expression in a search page, the server may receive the search expression inputted by the user and sent by a terminal of the user. Therefore, the search expression inputted by the user may be acquired. When the user desires to search for information related to an entity, the search expression inputted by the user may be a question related to the entity.


After the search expression inputted by the user is acquired, the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user may be further determined. For example, when it is detected that the search expression inputted by the user contains an entity keyword, it may be determined that the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user is the entity corresponding to the entity keyword. The entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user may refer to an object to which the content the user desires to search for belongs.


For example, if the user desires to search for information on symptoms of the diabetes, the object to which the content the user desires to search for belongs is the diabetes, and the diabetes is the entity. The search expression inputted by the user contains a keyword related to the entity, for example, “diabetes.”


Step 202, pushing aggregate information corresponding to the entity to the user.


In this embodiment, after the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user is determined in step 201, the aggregate information corresponding to the entity may be determined, and the aggregate information is pushed to the user. The aggregate information includes: a question-answer pair corresponding to each tag of the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user. In addition, search results corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user in the search engine may be found. The search results corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user in the search engine is pushed to the user together with the aggregate information corresponding to the entity.


In this embodiment, one entity may have a plurality of tags. A tag of the entity represents an aspect of the entity. For example, if the entity is the diabetes, tags of the diabetes may include symptom, treatment, and the like.


The question-answer pair corresponding to the tag of the entity contains a question associated with the tag of the entity and an answer to the question. For example, if the tag of the entity is the symptom of the diabetes, one question-answer pair corresponding to the symptom of the diabetes contains one question related to the symptom of the diabetes (for example, “what are the symptoms of the diabetes”) and the answer to the question. When the question in the one question-answer pair is associated with the tag of the entity, it may be determined that the question-answer pair corresponds to the tag of the entity.


In this embodiment, a tag of each entity may respectively correspond to a plurality of question-answer pairs. For each tag of the entity, a plurality of question-answer pairs corresponding to the each tag of the entity may be respectively pre-acquired, to obtain aggregate information corresponding to the entity.


Therefore, after the user inputs the search expression, the aggregate information corresponding to the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user may be pushed to the user. The aggregate information includes question-answer pairs corresponding to the each tag of the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user. In other words, the aggregate information contains question-answer pairs on a plurality of aspects of the entity. When the aggregate information is pushed to the user, the respective question-answer pair corresponding to the each tag may be presented to the user at the terminal of the user. Accordingly, the user may acquire information on the plurality of aspects of the entity.


For example, the search expression inputted by the user is “symptoms of diabetes.” After the search expression inputted by the user is acquired, it may be determined that the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user is the diabetes. The tags of the diabetes may include the symptom, the treatment, and the like. The plurality of question-answer pairs corresponding to the tags of the entity such as the symptom and the treatment may be respectively pre-acquired, to obtain the aggregate information. Then, the aggregate information is pushed to the user, and the user may obtain information on the symptom, treatment, and the like of the diabetes from the question-answer pairs.


In some alternative implementations of this embodiment, a plurality of question-answer pairs corresponding to the tag of a given entity may be pre-acquired from a plurality of websites. When a question in a question-answer pair acquire from the websites is associated with the tag of the entity, it may be determined that the question-answer pair corresponds to the tag of the entity.


For example, the plurality of websites are all question and answer websites of a medical type, the entity is the diabetes, and the tag of the given entity is the symptom of the diabetes. A questioning user inputs a question corresponding to the tag, the symptom of the diabetes, at a website, and an answering user may input the answer to the question at the website. The question inputted by the questioning user and the answer inputted by the answering user constitute the question-answer pair corresponding to the symptom of the diabetes. A plurality of question-answer pairs corresponding to the symptom of the diabetes may be acquired from a plurality of question and answer websites of the medical type.


After the plurality of question-answer pairs corresponding to the tag of the given entity is pre-acquired from the plurality of websites, the answers in the plurality of question-answer pairs corresponding to the tag of the given entity may be clustered according to semantic similarity between answers in the plurality of question-answer pairs corresponding to the tag of the given entity, to obtain an answer clustering result. The number of the answer clustering result may be more than one. An optimum answer may be respectively selected from each of a plurality of answer clustering results. The question-answer pair to which the selected optimum answer belongs may be used as the question-answer pair corresponding to the tag of the given entity in the aggregate information corresponding to the given entity.


For example, the entity is the diabetes, and the tag of the entity is the symptom of the diabetes. The plurality of question-answer pairs corresponding to the symptom of the diabetes may be pre-acquired from the plurality of question and answer websites of the medical type. The question in each of the plurality of question-answer pairs corresponding to the symptom of the diabetes is a question related to the symptom of the diabetes. According to the semantic similarity between the answers in the plurality of question-answer pairs, the answers in the plurality of question-answer pairs may be clustered, and thus, similar answers may constitute one answer clustering result. After the answers in the plurality of question-answer pairs are clustered, a plurality of answer clustering results may be obtained. Then, an optimum answer may be selected from each of the plurality of answer clustering results. The question-answer pair to which the selected optimum answer belongs is used as the question-answer pair corresponding to the symptom of the diabetes in the aggregate information corresponding to the diabetes.


When the optimum answer is selected from the answer clustering result, the optimum answer may be selected according to a confidence coefficient of the website to which the answer belongs, a confidence coefficient of the answering user to which the answer belongs, comments on the answer, and the like. For example, the website, the answering user to which the answer belongs, and the comments on the answer may be graded in advance, and each grade corresponds to a score. In addition, some scores may be positive or negative. For example, in the comments on the answer, the score of a like is positive, and the score of a dislike is negative.


The score corresponding to the website to which the answer belongs, the score corresponding to the answering user to which the answer belongs, and the score corresponding to the comments on the answer may respectively be used as the confidence coefficient of the website, the confidence coefficient of the answering user to which the answer belongs, and the confidence coefficient of the comments on the answer, which are weighted to obtain the score of the answer, i.e., the confidence coefficient of the answer.


In some alternative implementations of this embodiment, when the aggregate information is pushed to the user, a search result page may be generated and pushed to the user. The search result page includes: initial presentation contents corresponding to the aggregate information. The initial presentation contents include: a tag item respectively representing the each tag of the entity. Each tag item is respectively bound with the question-answer pair corresponding to the tag represented by the tag item. When a preset operation is performed on the tag item, the question-answer pair corresponding to the tag represented by the pre-bound tag item may be presented to the user.


For each tag item in the search result page, it may be respectively bound with the question-answer pair corresponding to the tag represented by the tag item in the aggregate information, the question-answer pair being pushed to the user. After the server pushes the search result page to the user, the search result page may be displayed at the terminal of the user. For example, the search result page is loaded in a browser of the terminal of the user to be presented to the user. Therefore, first, the tag item respectively representing the each tag of the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user is presented to the user, the tag being in the initial presentation contents corresponding to the aggregate information in the search result page. When the preset operation is performed on the each tag item, for example, the user performs a click operation on the tag item, the question-answer pair corresponding to the tag represented by the tag item on which the preset operation is performed may be presented to the user.


For example, the search expression inputted by the user is “symptoms of diabetes,” and the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user is the diabetes. The search result page includes: initial presentation contents corresponding to the aggregate information. The initial presentation contents corresponding to the aggregate information includes: tag items respectively representing the tags such as the symptom and the treatment. If the user needs to view a question-answer pair on a certain aspect of the diabetes, the user may click on the respective tag item. Then, the question-answer pair pushed to the user and corresponding to the respective tag item may be presented to the user.


In some alternative implementations of this embodiment, the aggregate information pushed to the user may further include: the website to which the question-answer pair corresponding to the tag of the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user belongs, and user information of the answering user to which the answer in the question-answer pair corresponding to the tag of the entity corresponding to the search expression inputted by the user belongs.
