Neural Document Expansion with User Feedback

8 Aug 2019  ·  Yue Yin, Chenyan Xiong, Cheng Luo, Zhiyuan Liu ·

This paper presents a neural document expansion approach (NeuDEF) that enriches document representations for neural ranking models. NeuDEF harvests expansion terms from queries which lead to clicks on the document and weights these expansion terms with learned attention. It is plugged into a standard neural ranker and learned end-to-end. Experiments on a commercial search log demonstrate that NeuDEF significantly improves the accuracy of state-of-the-art neural rankers and expansion methods on queries with different frequencies. Further studies show the contribution of click queries and learned expansion weights, as well as the influence of document popularity of NeuDEF's effectiveness.
