  • Patent number: 12784088
    Abstract: Classifying results of a user's search query using a trained classification model. In response to the search query, an online system retrieves a set of candidate search results, each candidate search result associated with a respective item of a plurality of items. The online system accesses the classification model that is trained to compute a probability of classification of each item into each class of a plurality of classes, each class associated with a type of relevance to the search query. The online system applies the classification model to generate, for each item, a classification score associated with each class. The online system classifies, based on the classification score, each item into a corresponding type of relevance to the search query. The online system selects, based on the classification of each item, a list of items for displaying at a user interface of a device associated with the user.
