METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PERSONALIZED, ZERO-INPUT SUGGESTIONS BASED ON SEMI-SUPERVISED ACTIVITY CLUSTERS

Abstract:

Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods that provide a pipeline to generate personalized queries that are associated with and based on a user's interests determined from a user's past searches, on an Internet search engine, and/or the content the user viewed from the past searches. The suggested queries can be shown in a user interface component associated with the user interface of the search engine and before the user enters anything, such as a new Internet search. This pre-population of searches associated with a user's interests gives an opportunity to the user to try these queries without manually entering in a search string.
