Abstract
This paper introduces a novel method to find Web pages that satisfy the user’s current information need. The method infers the user’s need from the content of the pages the user has visited and the actions the user has applied to these pages. Unlike content-based systems that attempt to learn a user’s long-term interests, our system learns user-independent patterns of behavior that identify the user’s current information need, based on his/her current browsing session, then uses this information to suggest specific pages intended to address this need. Our system learns these behavior patterns from labeled data collected during a five-week user study, involving over one hundred participants working on their day-to-day tasks. We tested this learned model in a second phase of this same study, and found that this model can effectively identify the information needs of new users as they browse previously unseen pages, and that we can use this information to help them find relevant pages. 1

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
