Surfacing a ranked list of items for a search query to help buyers discover inventory and make purchase decisions is a critical problem in eCommerce search. Typically, items are independently predicted with a probability of sale with…

This work focuses on top-k recommendation in domains where underlying data distribution shifts overtime. We propose to learn a time-dependent bias for each item over whatever existing recommendation engine. Such a bias learning process…

Job recommendation has traditionally been treated as a filter-based match or as a recommendation based on the features of jobs and candidates as discrete entities. In this paper, we introduce a methodology where we leverage the progression…

Sorting is an essential operation in computer science with direct consequences on the performance of large scale data systems, real-time systems, and embedded computation. However, no sorting algorithm is optimal under all distributions of…

Recommender Systems have been the cornerstone of online retailers. Traditionally they were based on rules, relevance scores, ranking algorithms, and supervised learning algorithms, but now it is feasible to use reinforcement learning…

E-commerce platforms generate vast volumes of user feedback, such as star ratings, written reviews, and comments. However, most recommendation engines rely primarily on numerical scores, often overlooking the nuanced opinions embedded in…
