Abstract
Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which provide for a personalized expertise searching. When a user of the social networking service enters a search query, the system determines if the user is searching for members who possess a particular skill. If the user is searching for members who possess a particular skill, the search results are post-processed by personalizing the search results using one or more machine-learning models which utilize one or more observed features about the user that enters the query, the skills of the members of the social networking service, and the query itself. In some examples, the system may utilize multiple machine-learning models in multiple passes to fine tune the relevance of the search results and to ensure that the post-processing returns search results in a timely manner.
