Predicting user behaviour on a website is a difficult task, which requires the integration of multiple sources of information, such as geo-location, user profile or web surfing history. In this paper we tackle the problem of predicting the user intent, based on the queries that were used to access a certain webpage. We make no additional assumptions, such as domain detection, device used or location, and only use the word information embedded in the given query. In order to build competitive classifiers, we label a small fraction of the EDI query intent prediction dataset edi-challenge-dataset, which is used as ground truth. Then, using various rule-based approaches, we automatically label the rest of the dataset, train the classifiers and evaluate the quality of the automatic labeling on the ground truth dataset. We used both recurrent and convolutional networks as the models, while representing the words in the query with multiple embedding methods.
