Abstract: A search system performs item retrieval using search query categorization that matches query intent. Category embeddings are generated for categories based on hierarchical data and search information. For instance, the category embeddings can be generated using information regarding hierarchical relationships between the categories, co-occurring relationships between categories identified from search information, and initial embeddings that encode query-related information for each category. Category clusters can be formed using the category embeddings. When a search query is received, one or more categories are identified from a category cluster and used for selecting search results for the search query.

Abstract: Embodiments generate random walks through a directed graph that is represented in a relational database table. Each row of the graph table represents a directed edge in the graph and includes a source vertex and a destination vertex. Each row is further augmented to (a) indicate the number of outbound edges starting from the destination vertex in the row and (b) include an identifier that distinguishes the edge from other outbound edges starting from the same source vertex. An SQL query may be executed on the augmented graph table. Starting from a source vertex (starting vertex or the destination vertex of the previously selected hop) the query randomly selects a row of the graph table representing one of the outbound edges from the source vertex and adds the selected outbound edge as a row in a random walk table that represents the next hop in the random walk.
