Abstract: A recommendation service that utilizes a machine learning algorithm trained with association vectors is provided. To allow for filtering of unrelated items, a recommendation service generates vectors that represent a quantization of items within a browse node that are considered complementary or a substitute of a selected item. Using an association vector, a machine learning algorithm can be trained to determine whether a particular item recommendation is considered noise, complementary or a substitute. Thereafter, the recommendation service can utilize the trained machine learning algorithm to filter a set of recommendations to remove items considered to be noise or to prioritize items identified as complementary or a substitute.

Abstract: The arrangement and selection of digital content to present to a user can be based at least in part upon probabilities of the user selecting to view more information and/or entering into a transaction with respect to instances of the content. For example, user behavior with respect to various items provided through a content provider can be determined in order to calculate a probability that a user was searching for a particular type of item for a given search. The user behavior can include historical action data, such as information that indicates items that were selected in response to a particular search and/or items that were purchased in response to a particular search. The historical action data can be analyzed to generate an index that indicates a likelihood that the search was intended for a particular type of product. Additionally, the historical data can be used to train language models that can be used to determine a probability of interest for a particular type of product for a given search.

Abstract: An electronic commerce system configured to implement a product ordering method for receiving a product search inquiry from an input device, displaying a plurality of products in a product listing available from purchase based on the product search inquiry on an output device, receiving a selection of a product, and displaying a first product information page including at least a product name, a product price, general product information, a first product ordering link for accessing a product ordering interface and a product information detail link. The system further includes a secondary product information display system configured to display a product datasheet including the product name, the general product information, product technical information and a commercial function display including at least one of a second product ordering link for accessing the product ordering interface and an inventory reporting display.

Abstract: The UNIVERSAL ELECTRONIC PAYMENT APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“UEP”) transform touchscreen inputs into a virtual wallet mobile application interface via UEP components into purchase transaction triggers and receipt notices. In one implementation the UEP provides, via a user device, a product information search request; and obtains, in response to the product information search request, information on a first product for sale by a first merchant and a second product for sale by a second merchant. The UEP generates a single purchase transaction request, using the information on the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant. The UEP provides, via the user device, the single purchase transaction request for payment processing. Also, the UEP obtains an electronic purchase receipt for the first product for sale by the first merchant and the second product for sale by the second merchant.

The search results are prioritized based on the identified language.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing a platform to provide virtual storefronts to consumers. Environmental elements are associated with specific consumer services on computer server. A user in the environment takes audio or visual recordings of an environmental element and uploads the recordings to the server. The server determines the appropriate consumer service associated with the recorded environmental element and provides the user with a reference to the service. Accordingly, any space, such as a bus stop, subway or train terminal, movie theater, or airport, may be turned into a virtual store.
