New QGDPO method enhances e-commerce search with direct preference optimization

Researchers have introduced QGDPO, a new method for document expansion in e-commerce search that utilizes Direct Preference Optimization (DPO). This approach aims to improve the quality of generated queries by reducing hallucinations and repetitive content, which are common issues with existing Doc2Query techniques. QGDPO fine-tunes a sequence-to-sequence model and then uses a relevance model to score and filter predictions, effectively removing irrelevant and redundant content. The system has been deployed in production, showing substantial improvements in relevance and user engagement. AI

IMPACT Enhances e-commerce search relevance and user engagement by reducing irrelevant and repetitive query generation.

    Query Generation with Direct Preference Optimization for Document Expansion in E-commerce Search

    Doc2Query, a popular document expansion technique, leverages sequence-to-sequence models to generate relevant queries, effectively addressing the "vocabulary mismatch" problem in information retrieval. However, these models often suffer from generating either hallucinations unrel…
