Patent number: 10565562Abstract: In an example, a first hash function is performed on job posting features extracted from a job posting to obtain hashed job posting features. The hashed job posting features are stored in a forward-index corresponding to the job posting in the database. When a job search query is received from a first member of a social networking service, job search query features are extracted from the job search query and a second hash function is performed on the job search query features. The hashed job posting features and the hashed job search query features are fed to a job posting result ranking model trained via a machine learning algorithm to compare the hashed job posting features to the hashed job search query features to generate an application likelihood score indicating a likelihood that the first member will apply for a job corresponding to the job posting.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ankan Saha, Dhruv Arya, Shahdad Irajpour
