Understanding the users’ search intents through mining query subtopic is a challenging task and a prerequisite step for search diversification. This paper proposes mining query subtopic by exploiting the word embedding and short-text similarity measure. We extract candidate subtopic from multiple sources and introduce a new way of ranking based on a new novelty estimation that faithfully represents the possible search intents of the query. To estimate the subtopic relevance, we introduce new semantic features based on word embedding and bipartite graph based ranking. To estimate the novelty of a subtopic, we propose a method by combining the contextual and categorical similarities. Experimental results on NTCIR subtopic mining datasets turn out that our proposed approach outperforms the baselines, known previous methods, and the official participants of the subtopic mining tasks.
