Abstract
Methods, systems and programming for evaluating query suggestions quality. In one example, a plurality of query suggestions are provided in a ranking to a user. A user activity with respect to one of the plurality of query suggestions is detected. A position of the one of the plurality of query suggestions in the ranking is determined. A quality measure of the plurality of query suggestions is calculated based, at least in part, on the user activity and the position of the one of the plurality of query suggestions.
Claims20
A method, implemented on at least one computing device each of which has at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a network for evaluating query suggestion quality, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of query suggestions in a ranking to a user;
- detecting a user activity with respect to one of the plurality of query suggestions;
- determining a position of the one of the plurality of query suggestions in the ranking;
- and
- calculating a quality measure of the plurality of query suggestions based, at least in part, on the user activity and the position of the one of the plurality of query suggestions.
A system having at least one processor storage, and a communication platform for evaluating query suggestion quality, the system comprising:
- a search serving engine configured to provide a plurality of query suggestions in a ranking to a user;
- a user activity detecting unit configured to detect a user activity with respect to one of the plurality of query suggestions;
- a suggestion position determining unit configured to determine a position of the one of the plurality of query suggestions in the ranking;
- and
- a scoring unit configured to calculate a quality measure of the plurality of query suggestions based, at least in part, on the user activity and the position of the one of the plurality of query suggestions.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having information recorded thereon for evaluating query suggestion quality, wherein the information, when read by the machine, causes the machine to perform the following:
- providing a plurality of query suggestions in a ranking to a user;
- detecting a user activity with respect to one of the plurality of query suggestions;
- determining a position of the one of the plurality of query suggestions in the ranking;
- and
- calculating a quality measure of the plurality of query suggestions based, at least in part, on the user activity and the position of the one of the plurality of query suggestions.
