Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for retrieving database records are presented. A method includes receiving an access request for database records, identifying a primary database record corresponding to the access request, and selecting a set of secondary database records corresponding to a portion of the access request. The method determines a set of differentiating elements within records of the set of secondary database records. Each differentiating element distinguishes at least one record of the set of secondary database records from one or more of the primary database record and a portion of the records included in the set of secondary database records. The method generates a formatted search interface including a set of selectable interface icons representing one or more differentiating elements and causes presentation of the formatted search interface at a client device associated with the access request.

Abstract: Generating themes for different item offers is described. An item listing system receives a request for a target item and generates themes for the target item by grouping offers based on their properties. The item listing system then determines a display order for the themes based on user behavior data. The item listing system then communicates the themes and display order to a client device from which the request was received, causing the client device to display an interface including at least a subset of the themes, arranged according to the display order. Themes including offers determined to be more appealing to the user of the client device are displayed more prominently relative to other themes. The item listing system is further configured to dynamically modify the display order in real-time based on offer changes, such that the interface continuously provides correct information describing available offers for the target item.

Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for creating advertisement messages using generative grammar models is presented. A generative grammar model defining a message structure of requested message is accessed. The message structure includes a plurality of lexical slots. The generative grammar model includes a corpus of source data to populate each lexical slot in the plurality of lexical slots to generate an advertisement message for a product listing. An advertisement message is generated in accordance with the generative grammar model and the message is published. The advertisement message for the product listing is then transmitted to a client device.

Abstract: A method and system for forming hybrid cluster to process log files are described. In example embodiments, a method configures a node to execute as a first slave node. The first slave node executes in a first operating environment. The method also adds the first slave node to a Hadoop cluster. The Hadoop cluster includes a second slave node that operates in a second and different operating environment.

Abstract: Systems, methods and media are provided for training a snippet extractor to create snippets based on information extracted from published descriptions. In one example, a computer-implemented method includes creating, based on a non-RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) extraction technique performed on the published descriptions, a plurality of base models, each base model including one or more sample description summaries; evaluating the base models using an evaluation technique; selecting an optimum base model; developing a classification model using RNN extraction, the classification model based on description summaries contained in the optimum base model; and using the classification model to train the snippet extractor by machine learning.

Abstract: Method for analyzing review content is described herein. The method starts by generating a helpfulness score for each review in the plurality of reviews. A first set of reviews is selected based on the helpfulness scores for each review in the plurality of review and a helpfulness score for each sentence in each review in the first set of reviews is generated. The review summary is then generated by selecting sentences in each review in the first set of reviews based on the helpfulness score of each sentence. The review summary includes the selected sentences. Other embodiments are also described.
