Abstract: Embodiments relate to providing at least one response to a user of a user device using a visual assistant, wherein the response is based on at least one user query. In an embodiment, the virtual assistant system receives the user query through a virtual multimedia contact, wherein the virtual multimedia contact is invoked by receiving a user command from the user through an interface. Thereafter, the virtual assistant system determines the response based on the user query. Further, the virtual assistant system selects a visual assistant (e.g., virtual character) for representing the response and subsequently provides the response to the user device using the visual assistant by transmitting the response to the user device using the visual assistant.

Abstract: Technologies are provided for generation of recommendation results using a verbal query. In one embodiment, query data can be generated using a searchable query corresponding to the verbal query. The query data can define a query browse node and a product brand, for example. First product identifiers that match the searchable query can be determined using multiple data repositories. Duplicates from the first product identifiers can be removed, resulting in second product identifiers. Attribute data also can be generated using the second product identifiers. The attribute data can define features for a product identifier. Further, third product identifiers can be determined by applying a filtering model to the second product identifiers. A ranking of the third product identifiers can be generated using an optimization function based on the query data and the product attribute data. A product corresponding to one of the ranked product identifiers represents a recommendation result.
