Abstract: A multi-tenant system stores a hierarchy of machine-learned models, wherein each machine-learned model is configured to receive as input a set of search results and generate as output scores for ranking the set of search results. Each machine-learned model is associated with a set of dimensions. The system evaluates search query performance. Performance below a threshold causes a new model to be generated and added to the hierarchy of models. Upon execution of a new search query associated with the same set of dimensions as the newly created model, the new model is used to rank that search query's search results.

Abstract: A database system may generate a new case associated with a customer support query. The database system may initiate a search for other cases related to the new case and identify articles linked to the related cases. The database system may identify more relevant articles by finding the related cases that use a similar vocabulary for describing similar customer problems. The database system then identifies the articles used for resolving the prior problems. Thus, the database system may bridge the gap between vocabularies used by customers to describe problems and vocabularies used in articles to describe solutions to those problems.

Abstract: System receives inputs, each input associated with a label and having features, creates a rule for each feature, each rule including a feature and a label, each rule stored in a hierarchy, and distributes each rule into a partition associated with a label or another partition associated with another label. System identifies a number of inputs that include a feature for a rule in the rule partition, and identifies another number of inputs that include both the feature for the rule and another feature for another rule in the rule partition. System deletes the rule from the hierarchy if the ratio of the other number of inputs to the number of inputs satisfies a threshold and an additional number of inputs that includes the other antecedent feature is at least as much as the number. System predicts a label for an input including features by applying each remaining rule to the input.
