One method includes an operation for obtaining a supervised model by training a machine-learning (ML) program with training data that includes search queries entered by users of an online service. Further, the method includes operations for initializing a generator model with the supervised model, and for improving the generator model using reinforcement learning. The reinforcement learning is being based on a reward based on naturalness, relatedness, and a user having a positive session on the online service. Further, the result of the improvement of the generator model is a roll-out model, which is utilized to generate query suggestions for a user of the online service based on a search query provided by the user.
