The embodiment of the present invention may be applied to an input method program of an input mode such as keyboard symbol input, handwriting input, voice input, etc., and for convenience of description, the embodiment of the present invention refers to a code character string input by a user in the input mode as an input string. In the field of input methods, for input method programs in, for example, chinese, japanese, korean, or other languages, an input string input by a user may be generally converted into a candidate for a corresponding language. The input process of the embodiment of the invention is mainly explained by taking Chinese as an example, and other languages can be referred to each other. It is to be understood that the above-mentioned chinese input methods may include, but are not limited to, full pinyin, simple pinyin, strokes, five strokes, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to a specific input method program corresponding to a certain language.

Method embodiment one

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart illustrating steps of a first embodiment of an information processing method according to the present invention is shown, where the method is applied to an input method program, and specifically may include:

step 101, determining interest characteristics of a user according to historical input contents of the user in a preset time period and/or according to characteristics set by the user;

step 102, determining a target information category corresponding to the interest characteristics;

step 103, determining information links corresponding to the target information under the target information category; the target information may originate from at least one third party platform.

The first embodiment of the method shown in fig. 1 may be performed by a server. It is to be understood that embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the particular implementation of the steps included in the method illustrated in fig. 1.

In step 101, a preset time period may be used to constrain the timeliness of the historical input content. The preset time period can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual application requirements. For example, the preset time period may be the last M months, the last N days, the last P hours, etc., wherein M, N, P may be a natural number greater than 0.

In a specific implementation, the length of the preset time period may be determined according to a time range in which the user uses the input method program. Generally, the longer the time range of the user using the input method program is, the longer the length of the preset time period is; similarly, the shorter the time range of the user using the input method program is, the shorter the length of the preset time period is, for example, the shorter the time range of the user using the input method program is, for example, the user uses a new mobile phone and does not adopt account login, and in this case, the shorter the length of the preset time period is.

The embodiment of the invention can analyze the historical input content of the user in the preset time period so as to obtain the interest characteristics of the user.

In an implementation manner, the determining the interest characteristics of the user specifically includes: matching historical input content of a user in a preset time period with the feature word set to obtain user feature words contained in the historical input content; and determining the interest characteristic words from the user characteristic words according to the weight parameters of the user characteristic words.

For example, the historical input content of the user a is a sentence a "we go to ducannon to buy jacket in the morning and go to ski in the afternoon", and the user feature words such as "ducannon", "jacket", "ski" and the like can be determined from the sentence a.

In the embodiment of the present invention, optionally, the feature word set specifically includes: at least one of a domain entry, a self-made entry, and a cloud entry.

Where a field may refer to a specific area, all matters related to that area may be cited. The domain vocabulary may refer to vocabulary within a domain scope, which may correspond to domain keywords.

The embodiment of the invention can determine the domain vocabulary in the following determination mode.

Determining mode 1, determining the domain vocabulary of the personal characteristic category, wherein the personal characteristic category can correspond to the domain keyword.

The domain vocabulary of the personal feature category specifically includes: professional attribute classes (doctor, courier …); interest classes (shopping offers, animation quadratic elements, games, constellations, short videos, military …), etc.

And determining a mode 2, determining a domain vocabulary of the topic category, wherein the topic category can correspond to a domain keyword.

The domain vocabulary of the topic category specifically includes: temporary topics (fish farming, certain drama …); staged topics (such as buying insurance, buying a house, learning to go a car, finishing …) and the like.

Determining a mode 3, grabbing encyclopedia entries, screening the grabbed encyclopedia entries, and labeling corresponding field keywords. For example, the encyclopedic entry and the cell entry may be fused, and the fusion result may be filtered to obtain the domain entry.

Determining a mode 4, clustering the high-frequency entries input by the user, wherein the corresponding category keywords are used as the domain keywords, and the high-frequency entries under the category are used as the domain entries.

It is to be understood that the determination manners 1 to 4 are only examples of the determination manners of the domain vocabularies, and the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific determination manners of the domain vocabularies, and those skilled in the art may also adopt other determination manners according to practical application requirements. For example, entity words may be collected as domain words.

In embodiments of the invention, an entity is a particular thing or concept. Entities are generally classified into types, such as people type entities, movies type entities, animals type entities, history type entities, and the like. The same entity may correspond to multiple entity instances, and an entity instance may be a descriptive page (content) of an entity in a network (or other medium), such as a page of encyclopedia, that contains the entity instance corresponding to the entity.

Optionally, the entity may include: named entity (named entity), which may refer to a person's name, organization's name, place name, and all other entities identified by name. The broader named entities may also include: book name, song name, movie title, product name, brand name, number, date, currency, address, etc.

Optionally, the entity category may include at least one of the following categories: characters, places, fruits, vegetables, animals, plants, buildings, clothes, foods, medicines, vehicles, furniture, musical instruments, electric appliances, and natural phenomena. The entity category may serve as a domain keyword.

The self-made entry can be a self-made entry of a user so as to supplement the defects of the traditional word bank. In practical application, a self-made vocabulary bar interface can be provided to receive the mapping relation between the input string set by the user and the self-made vocabulary bar.

The cloud entry can be an entry provided by the cloud based on a cloud input method and can be used as a supplement for entries in a traditional word bank. The cloud input method is an input method based on a cloud computing technology, and has incomparable advantages compared with the traditional input method by virtue of strong storage and operation capabilities of a server side cluster: the advantages of a larger and updated word bank and a more advanced language model are that the input accuracy is obviously improved. In practical application, a cloud request may be sent to the cloud end, where the cloud request may include input information of a user, and the input information may include: and inputting a string or voice information and the like, and receiving a cloud entry returned by the cloud.

The weight parameter may characterize the importance of the user characteristic word in the input corpus. According to the embodiment of the invention, the importance degree of different user characteristic words can be determined according to the weight parameters.

In practical application, the weight parameter can be determined by using a TF-IDF (Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency) technology. TF-IDF is a statistical method to evaluate the importance of words to a document in a collection or corpus. The importance of a word increases in proportion to the number of times it appears in a document, but at the same time decreases in inverse proportion to the frequency with which it appears in the corpus. The idea of TFIDF is: a word is considered to be of higher importance if it occurs with a high frequency in one document and rarely in other documents.

Correspondingly, the process of determining the weight parameter specifically includes: determining a frequency parameter (TF) of the user characteristic word in the input corpus in a first time range; determining a distinguishing parameter (IDF) of the user characteristic word in the input corpus in the second time range; the second time range is greater than the first time range; and determining the weight parameter according to the frequency parameter and the distinguishing parameter.

The first time range can reflect timeliness of user input requirements of the target user, and input corpora of the target user in the first time range can be used as a document. Thus, the first time range may correspond to a smaller duration, a duration within 1 month, a duration within 2 months, etc. The target user may refer to a specific user corresponding to the personalized entry, that is, a user to be recommended, such as user a. Therefore, the embodiment of the invention can obtain the TF according to the occurrence frequency of the user characteristic words in the input corpus of the target user in the first time range.

The input corpus within the second time range may be input corpuses of a plurality of users, and may be used to provide a plurality of documents. The input corpus of a user in the second time range can be used as a document, so that a plurality of documents can be obtained for providing statistical data for the statistical method of the weight parameters.

The embodiment of the invention can use the number of users corresponding to the input corpus in the second time range as the total document number T, and use the number of users inputting the user characteristic word as the document number D containing the user characteristic word. Optionally, the total document number T may be divided by a factor corresponding to the document number D, and then the obtained quotient is logarithmized to obtain an IDF; the factor corresponding to the document number D may be the sum of the document number D and a preset positive number, and the factor may be avoided to be zero when the document number D is zero. It is understood that the embodiment of the present invention does not limit the specific calculation manner of the IDF.

The embodiment of the invention can screen the user characteristic words according to the weight parameters of the user characteristic words, and the screened user characteristic words can be used as interest characteristic words.

In a specific implementation, the user feature words may be ranked according to the order of the weight parameters from high to low, and a plurality of interest feature words may be selected from the ranking result.

It can be understood that the above technical means for determining the interest feature words according to the feature word set is only an optional means, and actually, those skilled in the art may adopt other technical means according to the actual application requirements, for example, a clustering method or a classification method may also be used to determine the interest feature words corresponding to the historical input content.

The clustering method can cluster historical input contents to obtain interest categories with similar characteristics. The feature words corresponding to the interest categories can be used as the interest feature words.

The classification method can train a classification model by utilizing the corpus marked with the set categories, and determine the target interest categories by utilizing the classification model. Examples of setting categories may include: shopping offer categories, cartoon quadratic element categories, game categories, constellation categories, short video categories, military categories, and the like.

According to the embodiment of the invention, the mathematical model can be trained according to the corpus marked with the set categories to obtain the corresponding classification model, so that the classification model has the classification capability of the interest categories.

The mathematical model is a scientific or engineering model constructed by using a mathematical logic method and a mathematical language, and is a mathematical structure which is generally or approximately expressed by adopting the mathematical language aiming at the characteristic or quantity dependency relationship of a certain object system, and the mathematical structure is a relational structure which is described by means of mathematical symbols. The mathematical model may be one or a set of algebraic, differential, integral or statistical equations, and combinations thereof, by which the interrelationships or causal relationships between the variables of the system are described quantitatively or qualitatively. In addition to mathematical models described by equations, there are also models described by other mathematical tools, such as algebra, geometry, topology, mathematical logic, etc. Where the mathematical model describes the behavior and characteristics of the system rather than the actual structure of the system. The method can adopt methods such as machine learning and deep learning methods to train the mathematical model, and the machine learning method can comprise the following steps: linear regression, decision trees, random forests, etc., and the deep learning method may include: convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated cyclic units (GRU), and so on.

In step 101, the interest characteristics of the user may be determined according to the characteristics set by the user. In particular implementations, an interest-setting portal may be provided to receive user-set characteristics based on the interest-setting portal. For example, the interest setting portal may include: an input box to receive a characteristic of a user input according to the input box. As another example, the interest setting portal may include: and the characteristic options are used for determining the characteristics set by the user according to the characteristic options selected by the user. The interest characteristics set by the user can reflect the interests and hobbies of the user, and the covering effect of the interests and hobbies is achieved.

In step 102, the interest features may be converted into corresponding target information categories to aggregate information links corresponding to the target information under the target information categories.

In a specific implementation, the target information category may be constructed according to the above interest features. For example, a target information category "shopping offer" or "coupon" is constructed according to the interest feature "shopping offer", etc.

Or, the target information category corresponding to the interest feature may be determined according to matching information between the interest feature and the information category. The information category can be determined by those skilled in the art according to the actual application requirements, for example, the information category specifically includes: a coupon category, a short video category, a constellation category, a game category, an animation category, and the like.

In practical application, the matching information between the interest features and the information categories can be obtained by performing character string matching or semantic matching or word vector matching on the interest features and the information categories, and then the information categories matched with the interest features can be used as target information categories.

In step 103, information links corresponding to the target information in the target information category may be aggregated, so that the information links of the target information originating from at least one third-party platform may be aggregated to the input method program, so as to provide the user with the information of interest with higher coverage rate.

In a specific implementation, the method may cooperate with at least one third-party platform to customize the target information category on the at least one third-party platform, so as to obtain the target information in the target information category or the information link of the target information in the target information category from the at least one third-party platform.

The third-party platform can periodically determine the target information under the target information category so as to improve the timeliness corresponding to the target information. For example, the target information category is a coupon category, and the at least one e-commerce platform may periodically determine the commodity information corresponding to the coupon category. For another example, the target information category is a constellation category, and at least one e-commerce constellation platform may periodically determine constellation potential information corresponding to the constellation category. For another example, the target information category is a game category, and the at least one game platform may periodically determine game gift package information corresponding to the game category.

In practical applications, the information link may be provided by a third-party platform, or the information link may be provided by an input method program, and the embodiment of the present invention does not impose a limitation on a specific provider of the information link.

In a specific implementation, the number of the target information categories displayed by the input method program can be one or more, and the number of the displayed target information categories can be determined according to the interest characteristics of the user.

When the displayed target information categories are multiple, the information links corresponding to the multiple target information categories may be displayed in one interface, and/or the information links corresponding to the multiple target information categories may be displayed by using multiple interfaces corresponding to multiple tab (tab) tabs, and/or category entries corresponding to the multiple target information categories may be displayed.

For example, partial information links corresponding to a plurality of target information categories may be displayed in the primary interface, and/or category entries corresponding to the plurality of target information categories may be displayed in the primary interface. In this way, more information links under the target information category may be presented in the secondary interface in response to a trigger operation for the category entry.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the target information category may be further divided according to the interest characteristics of the user, so as to obtain a plurality of corresponding target information subcategories.

The addition and/or deletion of the target information category can be realized by correcting the interests and hobbies of the user, so that the information recommendation accuracy can be improved.

In a specific implementation, a user entry may be provided, and the target information category and the corresponding editing entry thereof are displayed in response to a trigger operation for the user entry. The edit portal may include: delete entries or add entries, etc.

For example, a deletion entry may be presented in the vicinity of the target information category to delete the target information category.

For another example, the information category list may be presented, and in response to a selection operation for an information category in the information category list, the information category selected by the user may be set as a target information category to implement addition of the target information category. The information category in the information category list may be set by one skilled in the art, or the information category in the information category list may be set by a third party platform.

Therefore, the embodiment of the invention displays the target information category, and can be used for the user to check the information link according to the target information category. Or, the embodiment of the invention displays the target information category, so that the user can perform modification operations such as addition and/or deletion on the target information category, and the like, so as to modify the interests and hobbies of the user.
