Patent number: 11605118Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide an attentive network framework that models dynamic attributes with item and feature interactions. Specifically, the attentive network framework first encodes basket item sequences and dynamic attribute sequences with time-aware padding and time/month encoding to capture the seasonal patterns (e.g. in app recommendation, outdoor activities apps are more suitable for summer time while indoor activity apps are better for winter). Then the attentive network framework applies time-level attention modules on basket items' sequences and dynamic user attributes' sequences to capture basket items to basket items and attributes to attributes temporal sequential patterns. After that, an intra-basket attentive module is used on items in each basket to capture the correlation information among items.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2020Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: salesforce.com, inc.Inventors: Yongjun Chen, Jia Li, Chenxi Li, Markus Anderle, Caiming Xiong, Simo Arajarvi, Harshavardhan Utharavalli
