Abstract
The claimed subject matter includes a system and method for attribution of search activity in multi-user settings. The method includes training a classifier to distinguish between machines that are single-user and multi-user based on activity logs of an identified machine. The identified machine is determined to be multi-user based on the classifier. A number of users is estimated for the identified machine. Activity of the users is clustered based on the number of users estimated. A similarity function is learned for the number of users estimated. The method also includes assigning new activity to one of the users based on the clustering, and the similarity function.
