Abstract
Techniques for providing explanations of candidate search queries are described. The queries can be created using query intent clustering in an automated sourcing tool. In an example embodiment, disclosed is a system that obtains one or more current candidate member profiles used as a basis for a search on member profiles in an online system. Additionally, the system extracts one or more attributes from the one or more current candidate member profiles. Moreover, the system identifies query intent clusters based on the extracted one or more attributes. Furthermore, the system generates a search query based on the identified query intent clusters. Next, an explanation of the search query can be displayed on a display device of the system. In some embodiments, the online system hosts a social networking service that includes the member profiles, and the identified query intent clusters include skills clusters.
