  • Publication number: 20230394295
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a providing related content recommendations in response to a user search query by supervising the training of pair embeddings using contrastive learning and pairwise co-click signals. The approach combines a two tower model architecture with a cascaded multilayer perceptron model to enable the adoption of variable combinations of input features and more representative learned pair embeddings. The learned embeddings undergo supervised contrastive loss training to generate a related content recommendation model, which is subsequently evaluated using both online and offline metrics. The related content recommendation model can provide results to search queries that improve recommendation quality and increase user engagement, thereby ultimately enhancing long term user experience.

  • Publication number: 20200019628
    Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms to perform visual intent classification or visual intent detection or both on an image. Visual intent classification utilizes a trained machine learning model that classifies subjects in the image according to a classification taxonomy. The visual intent classification can be used as a pre-triggering mechanism to initiate further action in order to substantially save processing time. Example further actions include user scenarios, query formulation, user experience enhancement, and so forth. Visual intent detection utilizes a trained machine learning model to identify subjects in an image, place a bounding box around the image, and classify the subject according to the taxonomy. The trained machine learning model utilizes multiple feature detectors, multi-layer predictions, multilabel classifiers, and bounding box regression.
