    Abstract: A system and method is described for large-scale, automated classification of products. The system and method receives information about products, wherein such information includes one or more text metadata fields associated with each product, receives a set of categories, and automatically selects one or more categories from the set of categories to which each product belongs based upon at least one of the one or more text metadata fields associated with each product. A machine learning classifier may be used to automatically select the one or more categories to which each product belongs by operating upon a feature vector for each product derived from text metadata fields of the product description. The machine learning classifier may be trained using a set of pre-categorized product descriptions. The product-category associations generated by the system and method can be used to improve search engine results or product recommendations to consumers.

    Abstract: One or more suggested search query completion alternatives are provided to the user and are selectable by the user in completing the user's search query. The suggested search query completion alternatives may comprise local business query completion suggestions, each of which may correspond to a local business, and general query completion suggestions, each of which may correspond to a general query. A ranking of local business query completion suggestions and general query completion suggestions may be used to identify a number of top-ranked query completion suggestions for presentation to the user. The ranking may use a popularity measure associated with each business and a frequency measure associated with each general query. A popularity associated with a local business may be weighted using a granularity weighting, which may be determined using a local query intent confidence level.

    Abstract: Methods, systems and programming for providing query suggestions based on user feedback. In one example, a prefix of a query is first received. An input including a prefix of a query is received from a user in a search session. A plurality of query suggestions are fetched based on the prefix of the query. Rankings of the plurality of query suggestions are determined based, at least in part, on the user's previous interactions in the search session with respect to at least one of the plurality of query suggestions. The at least one of the plurality of query suggestions has been previously provided to the user in the search session. The plurality of query suggestions are provided in the search session based on their rankings as a response to the input.
