Supporting Keyword Search in Product Database: A Probabilistic Approach
Summary: Proposes a probabilistic, query-generation model for keyword search over structured product specs to bridge vocab gap with user queries. Ranks entities by P(query|entity) using MLE/MAP from specs, reviews, and logs; shows significant gains and enables facet/review annotation. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
