SPEAR framework enhances e-commerce search with adaptive rewriting and retrieval

Researchers have developed SPEAR, a novel framework for community search that enhances query reformulation and retrieval effectiveness. SPEAR addresses the misalignment in current systems by integrating three components: a dual-embedding backbone to protect recall-side semantics, a multiplicative gating aggregator to prevent generic-word shortcuts, and a dynamic rewrite selector for adaptive calibration. Deployed in Dewu's community search platform since 2025, SPEAR has demonstrated significant improvements in offline evaluations, including a +18.2 increase in rewrite semantic similarity and a +99.5 boost in click recall. Online A/B testing confirmed its efficacy, showing a +0.259 increase in query-view CTR and a +0.733 increase in average reading depth. AI

IMPACT Improves e-commerce search by enhancing query understanding and retrieval accuracy, potentially leading to better user engagement and conversion rates.

    SPEAR: Selection-aware Personalized End-to-end Adaptive Rewriting and Retrieval for Community Search

    Query reformulation bridges user intent and retrieval in e-commerce search, yet production systems optimize rewrite quality and retrieval effectiveness separately, leaving the two stages structurally misaligned. Path-based architectures unify them end-to-end but were designed for…
