Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains events reflecting responses by a user to job recommendations outputted to the user. Next, the system updates a set of features for the user from the events. The system then includes the updated set of features in a feature repository for use by a statistical model in generating a ranking of jobs for the user. Finally, the system retrains the statistical model using the events prior to using the statistical model to update the outputted job recommendations using the ranking.
