QUALITY-BASED SCORING

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for performing quality-based scoring. During operation, the system determines, based on data retrieved from a data store in an online system, features related to a completeness of attributes in an opportunity posted in the online system and a source of the opportunity. Next, the system performs one or more operations that apply a first machine learning model to the features to generate a quality score representing a prediction of user engagement with the opportunity. The system then adjusts calculation of a relevance score representing a likelihood of a positive outcome between a user and the opportunity based on the quality score. Finally, the system modifies content outputted in a user interface of the online system based on the adjusted calculation of the relevance score.
