Abstract: Aspects of the invention include a computer-implemented method for generating product recommendations used a hypergraph. The computer-implemented method includes generating a product embedding vector for a product unpurchased by a consumer based on a hypergraph. Generating a consumer embedding vector for the consumer based on the hypergraph. An affinity between the consumer and a product unpurchased by the consumer is scored based on the product embedding vector and the consumer embedding vector. A digital description of the unpurchased product is retrieved based on the scoring. The digital description is presented to the consumer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system, method, and computer program for matching products across merchants and updating registries based on other users' actions. A registry product database is maintained with product records that correspond to items that have been added to users' registries. Information is received related to a new registry item added to a user's registry from a merchant source. The system determines whether the new registry item matches a product record in the registry product database. If no match, a new product record is created for the new registry item and associated with a new merchant offer. If a match, the registry item is associated with the matching product record and the associated merchant offer is updated. The registries of all users in the system having a registry item matching the product record are updated to reflect a new merchant source or a different valid price.

Abstract: Computer vision and image characteristic search is described. The described system leverages visual search techniques by determining visual characteristics of objects depicted in images and comparing the determined characteristics to visual characteristics of other images, e.g., to identify similar visual characteristics in the other images. In some aspects, the described system performs searches that leverage a digital image as part of a search query to locate digital content of interest. In some aspects, the described system surfaces multiple user interface instrumentalities that include images of patterns, textures, or materials and that are selectable to initiate a visual search of digital content having a similar pattern, texture, or material. The described aspects also include pattern-based authentication in which the system determines authenticity of an item in an image based on a similarity of its visual characteristics to visual characteristics of known authentic items.
