Patent number: 10860670Abstract: In an example embodiment, two machine learned models are trained. One is trained to output a probability that a searcher having a member profile in a social networking service will select a potential search result. The other is trained to output a probability that a member corresponding to a potential search result will respond to a communication from a searcher. Features may be extracted from a query, information about the searcher, and information about the member corresponding to the potential search result and fed to the machine learned models. The outputs of the machine learned models can be combined and used to rank search results for returning to the searcher.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Qi Guo, Bo Hu, Xianren Wu, Anish Ramdas Nair, Shan Zhou, Lester Gilbert Cottle, III

Patent number: 10726025Abstract: In an example, a plurality of user profiles in a social networking service are accessed. A heterogeneous graph structure having a plurality of nodes connected by edges is generated, each node corresponding to a different entity in the social networking service, each edge representing a co-occurrence of entities represented by nodes on each side of the edge in at least one of the user profiles. Weights are calculated for each edge of the heterogeneous graph structure, the weights being based on co-occurrence counts reflecting a number of user profiles in the plurality of user profiles in which corresponding nodes co-occurred. The heterogeneous graph structure is embedded into a d-dimensional space. A machine-learned model is then used to calculate a similarity score between a first node and second node by computing distance between the first node and the second node in the d¬-dimensional space.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Qi Guo, Xianren Wu, Bo Hu, Shan Zhou, Lei Ni, Erik Eugene Buchanan

Publication number: 20190258963Abstract: An indication of a plurality of different entities in a social networking service is received, including at least two entities having a different entity type. A plurality of user profiles in the social networking service is accessed. A first machine-learned model is used to learn embeddings for the plurality of different entities in a d-dimensional space. A second machine-learned model is used to learn an embedding for each of one or more query terms that are not contained in the indication of the plurality of different entities in the social networking service, using the embeddings for the plurality of different entities learned using the first machine-learned model, the second-machine learned model being a deep structured semantic model (DSSM).
