1923187 - Integrate interest-based relevance ranking for Merino-backed suggestions

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Address Bar, task, P1)

Description

[Nan Jiang [:nanj]]

This work is to support the interest-based relevance ranking experiment for Firefox Suggest.

Specifically, we'd like to experiment with applying user interest based relevance ranking to suggestions of "Dynamic Wikipedia" and "Navigational Suggestions" backed by Merino to verify: 1). The feasibility of client-side dynamic scoring (as opposed to the current static scoring approach); 2). Whether the new approach has any impact on user engagement of Firefox Suggest (Online).

The server side changes have been finished in Merino. We've also implemented various user interest inferring and scoring functionalities in the relevancy Rust component. We will stitch everything up together to add client-side relevance ranking to Firefox Suggest (Online).
