Systems and methods for retrieving and ranking search results using session context embeddings

A method implemented via execution of computing instructions configured to run at a processor, the method comprising:

• storing, on an electronic platform, a vectorized item database corresponding to a plurality of items;
• tracking electronic interactions between the electronic platform and a user computer during a user session;
• generating a query embedding based, at least in part, on a search query received from the user computer;
• generating, using an embedding model, a session context embedding based, at least in part, on the electronic interactions tracked during the user session;
• in response to receiving the search query from the user computer, querying the vectorized item database to identify search results corresponding to one or more of the plurality of items, at least in part, by comparing the query embedding with an item embedding in the vectorized item database or comparing the session context embedding with the item embedding;
• and
• transmitting, by the electronic platform, the search results to the user computer.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computing instructions, the computing instructions, when run on a processor, causing the processor to perform functions comprising:

• storing, on an electronic platform, a vectorized item database corresponding to a plurality of items;
• tracking electronic interactions between the electronic platform and a user computer during a user session;
• generating a query embedding based, at least in part, on a search query received from the user computer;
• generating, using an embedding model, a session context embedding based, at least in part, on the query embedding, as generated, and the electronic interactions tracked during the user session;
• in response to receiving the search query from the user computer, querying the vectorized item database to identify search results corresponding to one or more of the plurality of items, at least in part, by comparing the query embedding with an item embedding in the vectorized item database or comparing the session context embedding with the item embedding;
• and
• transmitting, by the electronic platform, the search results to the user computer.
