  • Publication number: 20220398643
    Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for training machine learning models, and applying the trained models to determine an item's relevance to a search query. In some examples, features are generated based on item engagement data associated with a search query. First values are generated for each of a plurality of items based on the search query, a first attribute of each of the items, and the item engagement data. Second values are generated for the items based on the search query, the first attributes, a second attribute of each item, and the item engagement data. Third values are generated for the items based on the search query, the first attributes, a third attribute of each item, and the item engagement data. Features are generated based on the first, second, and third values, and a machine learning model is applied to the features to rank items.

  • Patent number: 11494391
    Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for ranking search results. In some examples, a computing device receives item data identifying items for a search query provided by a user. The computing determines, for each item, a first value based on a relevance of the item to the search query. The computing device also determines user engagement data for the user, where the user engagement data identifies engagements by the user on a webpage. The computing device determines, for each item, a second value based on the user engagement data. In some examples, the computing device determines the first values and second values by executing one or more machine learning models. The computing device further determines a ranking of the plurality of items based on the first values and the second values. The computing may transmit the ranking of the plurality of items, such as to a web server.
