In some embodiments, a computer system generates a recommendation for a user of an online service based on user actions that have been performed by the user within a threshold amount of time before the generation of the recommendation. For each user action, the computer system determines an intent classification that identifies an activity of the user and that corresponds to different types of user actions, as well as a preference classification that identifies a target of the activity, and then stores these intent and preference classifications as part of indications of the user actions for use in generating different types of recommendations using different types of recommendation models. Additionally, the computer system may use mini-batches of data from an incoming stream of logged data to train an incremental update to one or more recommendation models.

Recommendations using session relevance and incremental learning

Technologies for determining whether to send a notification to an entity is provided. Disclosed techniques include receiving entity features describing attributes related to observed entity sessions. A set of entity-specific session features values may be generated from the received entity features. A session-quality prediction model may be generated using the set of entity-specific session feature values. The session-quality prediction model may determine an expected session score for a new entity session for an entity, where the expected session score describes a level of interaction for the new entity session. A notification may be received for a particular entity. The session-quality prediction model may be used to determine the expected session score for a new entity session for the particular entity. A determination may be made as to whether a notification should be sent to the particular entity based upon the expected session score for the new entity session.
