We build on the work by Manaal Faruqui and Dipanjan Das from Google AI Language team to train a search query classifier of well-formed search queries. Our model offers a 10% improvement over Google's classifier by utilising ALBERT architecture instead of LSTM. With accuracy of 80%, the model is production ready and has already been deployed in Dejan AI's query processing pipeline. The role of the model is to help identify query expansion candidates by flagging ambiguous queries retrieved via Google Search Console API.

Most search queries are ambiguous making it difficult to classify intent and make decisions on how to optimise for them. Query expansion helps, but only only if you know which queries to expand. This is where our model comes in. Take it for a spin here and try proper questions vs raw keyword queries and experience the model in action.
