Abstract

Effective ranking in information retrieval is done, in part, by proper feature engineering. This paper explores a comparison between the functions of a click model and a ranking function in information retrieval. It then uses the output of a basic bi-class click model as a feature for training a ranking model. Training both of these different approaches on data from a commercial search engine we find that click model performance improves as the threshold for what is a click becomes more stringent and that using the output of a click model as a feature for ranking performs empirically worse than without this added feature.
