Modern digital platforms rely on related search query recommendations to enhance engagement, yet existing methods fail to reconcile click-through rate (CTR) optimization with topic expansion. We propose **CMAQ**, a **C**onsistent **M**ulti-Objective **A**ligned **Q**uery generation framework that harmonizes these goals through three components: (1) reward modeling to quantify objectives, (2) style alignment for format compliance, and (3) consistency-aware optimization to coordinate joint improvements. CMAQ employs adaptive 𝛽-scaled DPO with geometric mean rewards, balancing CTR and expansion while mitigating objective conflicts. Extensive offline and online evaluations in a large-scale industrial setting demonstrate CMAQ’s superiority, achieving significant CTR gains (+2.3%) and higher human-rated query quality compared to state-of-the-art methods. Our approach enables high-quality query generation while sustaining user engagement and platform ecosystem health.

Leveraging Bidding Graphs for Advertiser-Aware Relevance Modeling in Sponsored Search

Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics: EMNLP 2021

Recently, sponsored search has become one of the most lucrative channels for marketing. As the fundamental basis of sponsored search, relevance modeling has attracted increasing attention due to the tremendous practical value. Most existing methods solely rely on the query-keyword pairs. However, keywords are usually short texts with scarce semantic information, which may not precisely reflect the underlying advertising intents. In this paper, we investigate the novel problem of advertiser-aware relevance modeling, which leverages the advertisers’ information to bridge the gap between the search intents and advertising purposes. Our motivation lies in incorporating the unsupervised bidding behaviors as the complementary graphs to learn desirable advertiser representations. We further propose a Bidding-Graph augmented Triple-based Relevance model BGTR with three towers to deeply fuse the bidding graphs and semantic textual data. Empirically, we evaluate the BGTR model over a large industry dataset, and the experimental results consistently demonstrate its superiority.
