GENERATING PERSONALIZED QUERY SUGGESTIONS

Abstract:

Machine learning based method for generating personalized query suggestions is described. Different users may have different search intent even when they are inputting the same search query. The technical problem of personalizing search query suggestions produced by a machine learning model is addressed by extending the sequence to sequence machine learning model framework to be able to take into consideration additional, personalized features of the user, such as, e.g., profile industry, language, geographic location, etc. This methodology includes an offline model training framework as well as an online serving framework.
