  • Publication number: 20240112234
    Abstract: A system including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instruction that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations: generating, using a training procedure, labels based at least in part on price band activity data from a time period; training, using the training procedure, an affinity prediction model of a machine learning architecture; analyzing, using the affinity prediction model of the machine learning architecture, as trained, the price band activity data indicating interactions of a user with items; and generating, using the labels and the affinity prediction model of the machine learning architecture, as trained, one or more price affinity predictions for one or more items for the user. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

  • Publication number: 20240062267
    Abstract: A system comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computing instructions that, when executed on the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising: evaluating, using a price band determination model, degrees of expensiveness of items relative to each other in item type categories; generating, using the price band determination model, price bands associated with item type categories; assigning each of the items to a respective one of the price bands associated with a respective one of the item type categories; and presenting, to one or more end-user applications, at least one other item corresponding to at least one of the price bands associated with at least one of the item type categories. Other embodiments are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11842375
    Abstract: Systems and methods including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory storage devices storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform acts of: determining price bands for an item type category; associating items included in the item type category with the price bands; analyzing, using an affinity prediction model of the machine learning architecture, price band activity data indicating interactions of a user with respective items included in each of the price bands for the item type category; and generating one or more price affinity predictions for the user based, at least in part, on the price band activity data, wherein the one or more price affinity predictions predict a preference of the user for respective items associated with one or more of the price bands. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.

  • Patent number: 11803889
    Abstract: Systems and methods including one or more processors and one or more non-transitory storage devices storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processors and perform acts of: providing a machine learning architecture that is configured to evaluate expensiveness of items relative to each other, wherein the items are included in an item type category; receiving prices associated with the items included in the item type category; generating, using a price band determination model associated with the machine learning architecture, price bands based, at least in part, on the prices associated with the items, each of the price bands being associated with separate price range boundaries for the item type category; and assigning each of the items to one of the price bands. Other embodiments are disclosed herein.
