Problem Words, Disambiguation and Diversity for Web



One of the greatest challenges comes in the form of disambiguation

For example someone types round, does it mean the apple, orange or ball?

Another example of this is jaguar, which is at once a jungle cat, a car, a football team, an operating system, and a guitar. Which does the user mean?




For example if someone types in a query such as cars then the query cars is so general that there is no real way to get the bottom of the searcher’s intent based on this one query alone.
