Disclosed are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments that retrieve items for a user based on a query using a two-tower deep machine learning model. An example embodiment provides input to a context tower, wherein the input includes the query and one or more of a query embedding corresponding to the query or a graph user embedding corresponding to the user. The context tower generates a context embedding in a vector space based on the input. The model determines a measure of similarity between the context embedding and each of a plurality of item embeddings in the vector space that are generated by an item tower and represent a plurality of candidate items. A relevancy score is calculated for each candidate item based on the measure of similarity between the context embedding and the corresponding item embedding. The relevancy scores are used for item retrieval and/or ranking.

Personalized retrieval system

Disclosed herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for ranking a plurality of content items for presentation to a user. An embodiment generates a ranking score for each content item by: providing input to a deep machine learning (ML) model, the input including at least one or more query features and one or more content item features, determining, by the deep ML model and based at least on the input, a first probability of a first type of interaction between the user and the content item and a second probability of a second type of interaction between the user and the content item, and calculating the ranking score for the content item based at least on the first and second probabilities. An embodiment ranks the content items for presentation based on the ranking score associated with each content item.

Deep machine learning content item ranker

Disclosed herein are system, apparatus, article of manufacture, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for determining a list of recommended items in response to a user query. An embodiment can generate an ordered relevance list of items, and determine an initial reward value based on an array of relevance scores and an array of revenue values corresponding to the ordered relevance list of items, a parameter alpha assigned to the array of relevance scores, and a parameter beta assigned to the array of revenue values. The embodiment can generate a next list of recommended items from an initial list of recommended items, and further calculate a next reward value associated with the next list of recommended items, and determine a list of recommended items in response to the query based on a comparison of the initial reward value and the next reward value.

Search systems based on user relevance and revenue generation

Disclosed herein are system, method and/or computer program product embodiments, and/or combinations and sub-combinations thereof, for generating a prediction based on a query. An embodiment operates by providing a query to a deep machine learning (ML) model. The deep ML model generates a plurality of query projection embeddings by projecting the query into each of a plurality of different query embedding spaces and generates the prediction based at least on the plurality of query projection embeddings. Each of a plurality of query projection embedding layers of the deep ML may generate a corresponding one of the query projection embeddings by applying a hash function associated with the query projection layer to the query to generate a vector representation of the query, and applying a set of weights associated with the query projection layer to the vector representation to generate a query projection embedding in the plurality of query projection embeddings.

Multiple query projections for deep machine learning

A content retrieval system may receive a query associated with a plurality of content items in a repository. For each content item of the plurality of content items: a respective first and second similarity score may be generated based on a similarity between embeddings indicative of a first and second data type generated from the query and for the content item; and a respective normalized similarity score may be generated based on a combination of the respective first and second similarity scores. A set of content items with respective normalized similarity scores that satisfy a similarity score threshold may be identified. An exact-match (lexical) search may yield respective mapping scores for content items that may also be ranked. An output indicative of content items that are identified in the set of content items with high-ranking similarity scores and identified in the set of content items with high-ranking mapping scores.
