LinkedIn unveils new GPU retrieval for semantic search

Researchers have developed a new retrieval framework for semantic search on LinkedIn, aiming to improve the relevance of profile suggestions for users. The system partitions embeddings into eight category-supervised segments, allowing for a more precise matching of user queries to relevant profiles. This approach, implemented with a two-stage GPU architecture using FP8 and FP16 precision, significantly boosts retrieval efficiency and accuracy. In A/B testing, the new framework led to substantial improvements in Precision@10 and Precision@1 for exploratory and navigational queries, respectively. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more accurate and efficient profile matching on professional networking platforms.
