Abstract
This application relates to apparatus and methods for ranking search results. In some examples, a computing device receives item data identifying items for a search query provided by a user. The computing determines, for each item, a first value based on a relevance of the item to the search query. The computing device also determines user engagement data for the user, where the user engagement data identifies engagements by the user on a webpage. The computing device determines, for each item, a second value based on the user engagement data. In some examples, the computing device determines the first values and second values by executing one or more machine learning models. The computing device further determines a ranking of the plurality of items based on the first values and the second values. The computing may transmit the ranking of the plurality of items, such as to a web server.
