Abstract

Methods and apparatus for ranking search result documents for a query of a user based on one or more attributes of the user that are associated with one or more of the search result documents. User attributes of the user's user profile may be matched to user attributes of a search result document and the search result document ranked based at least in part on bias measures associated with the matched user attributes. Some implementations are directed to determining, for each of a plurality of documents, multiple user attributes and associated bias measures to associate with the document. A user attribute and associated bias measure for the document may be determined based on indicated interactions with the document by a set of users associated with the user attribute.
