  • Patent number: 11269898
    Abstract: System and methods are provided that can address cold-start problems in database keyword searches. The search system generates machine-learned values for new items based on historical signals for already existing items. These initial values are generated at the time of new item's inclusion in the search index. The values are used as input in a ranking model to rank search results for a user query. The initial values for the new items predict user engagement with the new items based on historical data for existing items and increase the visibility of new items to accumulate user interaction data for the new items.
