  • Patent number: 10102503
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. During operation, the system obtains a global version of a statistical model and a user-specific version of the statistical model for a user. Next, the system applies the global version to member features of the user and job features of a set of jobs to generate a first ranking of the jobs for the user. The system then applies the user-specific version to the member features and the job features for a highest-ranked subset of jobs in the first ranking to generate a second ranking of the jobs for the user. Finally, the system outputs at least a portion of the second ranking as a set of job recommendations.

  • Patent number: 10102227
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system and method that facilitate searching and/or browsing of images by clustering, or grouping, the images into a set of image clusters using facets, such as without limitation visual properties or visual characteristics, of the images, and representing each image cluster by a representative image selected for the image cluster. A map-reduce based probabilistic topic model may be used to identify one or more images belonging to each image cluster and update model parameters.
