New SPADE framework enhances local search query recommendations

Researchers have developed SPADE, a new generative framework designed to enhance local search query recommendations. SPADE addresses limitations in existing methods by jointly optimizing query generation, contextual representation, and output diversity. The framework incorporates components like Objective-Aligned BPE for long-tail query generation, Spatio-Temporal Adaptive Representation for precise geographic and temporal grounding, MARS-DPO for preference alignment with production data, and Sigmoid Diversity Beam Search for improved intent coverage. Offline experiments showed significant improvements in metrics such as Hit Rate and Geographic Coverage, while an online A/B test confirmed positive impacts on click-through rates and user engagement. AI

IMPACT This framework could improve the relevance and diversity of search results in local service applications, potentially increasing user engagement and discovery of niche services.

    SPADE: Spatiotemporal Preference Alignment and Diversity Enhancement for Local Search

    Proactive query recommendation aims to suggest relevant search queries to users on the homepage of local service apps. Unlike conventional recommendation over a fixed item set, this requires open-set generation from a vocabulary of millions, where outputs must simultaneously alig…
