Abstract:
The technology described herein makes improved use of limited screen space on a search results page by determining whether to present a question-and-answer experience and/or an entity details experience. This determination effects the amount of information presented and the format in which it is presented. In general, the question-and-answer experience provides less information and is more targeted to a question and query terms other than the entity. In contrast, the entity details experience provides more information about the entity that is not tailored to the query beyond the entity being included in the query. In one aspect, the determination of whether to show a question-and-answer experience and/or an entity details experience is based, at least in part, on an entity-details intent classification score (“intent classification score”) generated by a machine classification system. The classification score may be processed in combination with other criteria to make a final determination.
