  • Patent number: 11709851
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to methods and systems for evaluating entities for a target user, the method comprising obtaining, at a server computer, entity data from a plurality of data sources. The entity data is then stored in an entity database. The method further comprises merging the entity data from the plurality of data sources, mapping the entity data to a corresponding entity, and differentiating the entity. Then a relevance is determined associated with the entity data and data source. The method further comprises generating a set of entity evaluations to the target user using the relevance, determining a set of one or more entities relevant to the primary user based on the entity data, user data, and the relevance, with an initial order of relevance, and displaying, on a user device, the set of relevant entities to the target user in the order of relevance.

  • Patent number: 10394919
    Abstract: Techniques for context-based queryless presentation of items are described. Without receiving an explicit query, an inferred query is determined based on a first set of context signals associated with a triggering event. Items matching the inferred query are selected based on a second set of one or more context signals associated with the triggering event. One or more results items identifying the one or more matching items are caused to display. Result items may be displayed in association with an explanation that identifies context values used to select an item or one or more attributes of the item that are relevant to a user or the inferred query.

  • Publication number: 20180314986
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a reservation server runs a reservation service that allows users of diner clients to reserve reservations with one or more restaurants. In addition, the reservation server runs a self-serve promotion service that restaurant clients to request automatic or semi-automatic generation of content displays for promotions. In some cases, the reservation server uses statistics to predict future periods of time when covers for a restaurant will be below average. The reservation server then automatically generates a promotion that is likely to increase covers during the previously predicted future periods of time. In response to the promotion being selected by a user, the reservation server generates a content display that is subsequently published to the reservation service. As a result, the content display is presented to users of the diner clients when searching for criteria satisfied by the restaurant.

  • Patent number: 9189551
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a category based navigation system obtaining user data related to a plurality of users relevant to the primary user. The method further comprises obtaining entity data associated with an entity in a plurality of entities. The category based navigation system then determines one or more entities relevant to the primary user, and determines an initial order of relevance of a set of relevant entities. The method further comprises categorizing and displaying the set of relevant entities with an initial categorization on a user device to the primary user. The category based navigation system may then obtain, via the user device, user feedback, adjust the initial categorization and initial order of relevance based on the user feedback; and display the adjusted categorization and adjusted order of relevance of the set of relevant entities to the primary user on the user device.

  • Publication number: 20140365313
    Abstract: A recommendation engine provides a plurality of users with a recommendation for a common group action. The recommendation engine can take into user information such as explicit or implicit preferences of the participant of the group action in recommending a group action, such as shopping together, buying together, going to an event together, engaging in an activity together, etc. By considering the group, as well as the individuals, the recommendation engine can make recommendations optimized for a goal of one or more of the individuals, or for a group goal, which might not have been a recommendation made for any one of the individuals if considered in isolation. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the recommendation engine recommends an item related to a planned group activity for a group including a plurality of individuals based on information relating to each of the plurality of individuals.

  • Publication number: 20130024464
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a computer-implemented method for generating explanatory data from a personalized recommendations process for a primary user based at least on stored data about the primary user. The method comprises a server computer obtaining data related to one or more users who are relevant to the primary user, then determining at least one group of users relevant to the primary user. The server computer also obtains data related to one or more entities, determines one or more entities relevant to the primary user, and associates the at least one relevant group of users with the one or more relevant entities. One or more potential candidate factors are generated. A set of factors are selected from the one or more potential candidate factors, wherein the potential candidate factors are used as explanatory data to determine recommendations to the primary user.

  • Publication number: 20130024449
    Abstract: Embodiment of the invention relate to a computer-implemented method for providing augmented searches for entities to a user, the method comprising obtaining, at a server computer operated by an entity search system, user data related to a user, and obtaining entity data related to a plurality of entities. Then, the entity search system receives a query for a search for relevant entities from the user. The method then further comprises searching for a set of relevant entities based on the query, entity data, and user data, determining a set of criteria for an initial order of relevance, and determining an order of relevance of the set of relevant entities based on the set of criteria. The set of relevant entities or order of relevance may be augmented by obtaining feedback data from the user, thereby providing an augmented search for relevant entities to the user.
