Abstract:
Approaches and techniques are discussed for ranking the documents indicated in search results for a query based on click-through information collected for the query in previous query sessions. According to an embodiment of the invention, when calculating a relevance score for a particular document, one may overcome positional bias by utilizing click-through information about other documents previously returned in the same search results as the particular document. According to an embodiment, one may utilize Dynamic Bayesian Network, based on said click-through information, to model relevance. According to an embodiment of the invention, one may utilize click-through information to generate targets for learning a ranking function.
