Our mission is to make search results high-quality, relevant, and up-to-date.

Our team cares about ensuring that a user who comes with a query receives an answer that takes into account the individual characteristics of the task. For example, ranking the query "buy vacuum cleaner X" might consider the product price, its availability in the store, reviews, ratings, and other information related to e-commerce. Ranking the query "wildfires" should consider news reports.

We are engaged in end-to-end problem solving, including steps of problem analysis, developing a system of online and offline metrics for the task, training large search models (e.g., BERT), deploying models to production, and conducting A/B experiments. Our main tasks are improving the quality of ranking for web search, image search, and music search for Alice.
