Abstract

Methods and computer storage media are provided for generating an algorithm used to provide preliminary rankings to candidate documents. A final ranking function that provides final rankings for documents is analyzed to identify potential preliminary ranking features, such as static ranking features that are query independent and dynamic atom-isolated components that are related to a single atom. Preliminary ranking features are selected from the potential preliminary ranking features based on many factors. Using these selected features, an algorithm is generated to provide a preliminary ranking to the candidate documents before the most relevant documents are passed to the final ranking stage.
