Abstract
Functionality is described herein for generating a model on the basis of user-behavioral data and knowledge data. In one case, the user-behavioral data identifies queries submitted by users, together with selections made by the users in response to the queries. The knowledge data represents relationships among linguistic items, as expressed by one or more structured knowledge resources. The functionality leverages the knowledge data to supply information regarding semantic relationships which may not be adequately captured by the user-behavioral data, to thereby produce a more robust and accurate model (compared to a model produced on the basis of only user-behavioral data). Functionality is also described herein for applying the model, once trained. In one case, the model may correspond to a deep learning model.
