Personalization for Query Auto Completion Systems

This was a part of our tutorial on "Deep Learning for AutoSuggest" tutorial at IJCAI 2022.

Everyday, Billions of keystrokes across 100s of languages are served by Bing Autosuggest in less than 100 ms. The expected suggestions could differ depending on user demography, previous search queries and current trends. In general, the suggestions in the AutoSuggest block are expected to be relevant, personalized, fresh, diverse and need to be guarded against being defective, hateful, adult or offensive in any way. In this video, I broadly talk about personalization methods for ranking suggestions in a query auto completion (autosuggest) system.
