The patent describes a system and method for adjusting context scores for candidate answer passages in response to question queries. It involves determining the hierarchical path from a root heading to a particular subheading where the answer passage is located and adjusting the answer score based on this context to provide the most relevant long-form answer.
This is one of the core patents for Featured snippet generation.
