System and Method for Search Engine Results Page Ranking with Artificial Neural Networks

摘要

A system and method for ranking search results. The system receives search results and uses an artificial neural network (ANN) to rank the results, wherein at least one of the inputs to the ANN is derived from a search query, and wherein the search query is processed as a visual image. An input to the ANN can include a user's profile and a search engine results page (SERF) produced by a search engine and presented to a user for review. An output of the ANN can include a re-ranking of an input SERF. The ANN can be trained and used in batch mode, periodically after saving results from multiple search sessions conducted by a plurality of users.
