US Patent 11803578 Personalized evolving search assistance

Search assistance personalized to a user, may be afforded by combining the application of scoring functions, with the training a Machine Learning (ML) model based upon feedback from that user. A plurality of scoring functions are applied to query results to calculate a plurality of score vectors. The ML model is then applied to generate a ranked list of vectors. Feedback from the user, is incorporated to develop an evolving memory. The feedback may be explicit, or may be implicit—e.g., based upon user selection of particular score vector(s) from the list or based upon user selection of particular query results corresponding to the score vectors. Embodiments may enhance relevance of search assistance by removing past feedback from the evolving memory that is used to retrain the ML model. Embodiments can provide assistance to search text corpuses utilizing scoring functions considering frequency of occurrence of particular words or terms.
