Neural related search query generation

Abstract:

A neural related query generation approach in a search system uses a neural encoder that reads through a source query to build a query intent vector. The approach then processes the query intent vector through a neural decoder to emit a related query. By doing so, the approach gathers information from the entire source query before generating the related query. As a result, the neural encoder-decoder approach captures long-range dependencies in the source query such as, for example, structural ordering of query keywords. The approach can be used to generate related queries for long-tail source queries, including long-tail source queries never before or not recently submitted to the search system.
