Abstract: Disclosed herein are various embodiments for a vehicle listing generation and optimization system. An embodiment operates by receiving a request to generate a vehicle listing to sell a vehicle on a website. A plurality of vehicle listings similar to the vehicle to be sold are determined, the plurality of vehicle listings including a plurality of features providing information about a respective vehicle featured in the vehicle listing and a performance metric indicating an effectiveness of a respective listing. A first cluster of listings from the plurality of vehicle listings similar to the vehicle are identified based on based on performing artificial intelligence clustering with respect to the metric. Common features amongst a subset of the first cluster of listings are identified. A user interface of a sales template for selling the vehicle associated with the request via the website is generated, wherein the sales template includes the common identified features.

Abstract: A system and method for generating personalized content for a user device. In one example, a system can cause a computing device to display a first plurality of search results on a user interface of a user device based at least in part on a first request. Clickstream data can be identifier from the user interface displayed on the user device. The clickstream data comprises a user-specified sort of the first plurality of search results on the user interface. A sorting habit for the user can be determined based at least in part on the user-specified sort of the first plurality of search results on the user interface. The computing device can display on the user interface a second plurality of search results. The second plurality of search results are sorted for display based at least in part on the sorting habit for the user.

Abstract: The present systems and methods permit users to select a custom color which serves as a target color, with millions of possible combinations; then filter a product search by the selected color. The target color and the product color are each expressible as a coordinate in a color space; and distance between the target color coordinate and the product color coordinate is calculated to determine the color code distance for each product in the search result, potentially numbering the thousands. Descriptions of the products are presented in the GUI, in order of the calculated color code distance for each product, where a smaller color code distance indicates a closer match to the target color code. The user can easily choose a product type and a desired or target color using a color picker, and receive a search result including only products sufficiently matching the target color.

Abstract: An electronic invoicing system performs an integrated method of processing both purchase order based electronic invoices and electronic invoices not associated with a purchase order or transaction receipt. A portal is provided by the system. The portal has respective views for a supplier submitting non-PO based type electronic invoices not associated with a purchase order or transaction receipt, and a user of an enterprise submitting and/or reviewing non-PO based type electronic invoices not associated with a purchase order or transaction receipt. An administrator of the enterprise configures electronic invoice types and processing parameters specific to said electronic invoice types not associated with a purchase order or transaction receipt. A submitted non-PO based type electronic invoice of a configured electronic invoice type is processed in accordance with the processing parameters configured by the administrator for that electronic invoice type.

Abstract: A matching support device which achieve matching between demand information and supply information, quickly and accurately reflecting changes in information. The matching support device acquires supply information and/or demand information, performs a matching between the demand information and the supply information, and transmits results of the matching to a supplier terminal and a consumer terminal. The matching support device, during a period specified from the supplier terminal and/or the consumer terminal, continues reception of the supply information and/or the demand information to reflect the changes in information and to continue matching. The matching support device may calculate, based on information of matchings, a schedule-to-result difference ratio of the supply plan information and/or the demand plan information.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods whereby item provider services can define unique offerings, including categories of products, individual products, and information requests, and link them to a trigger, enabling the item provider service promote the offerings to the end users. A trigger can include any unique and specially formatted media entity that, in conjunction with software on a mobile device, can be detected using sensors to initiate a workflow. Triggers may include, for example, specially formatted images, videos, audio signals, QR codes, GPS locations, Bluetooth beacons, or similar mobile-detectable entities, among others. Triggers may be defined and associated with an offering.

Abstract: Improved techniques and systems for delivery and acquisition of digital assets are disclosed. The techniques and systems are especially suitable and useful for delivering digital assets (e.g., media assets) that are available for acquisition and electronic delivery from online stores to electronic devices. In accordance with one aspect, when a digital asset is acquired from an online store via an electronic device associated with a user, the digital asset can be arranged for delivery to a number of other of electronic devices also associated with the user. It will be appreciated that the digital asset can be delivered and acquired without requiring explicit user input or instruction in accordance with another aspect. Other aspects of the techniques and systems include customization of configuration and user interfaces that are provided to facilitate acquisition of digital assets in a more efficient manner.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating top-k recommendation using latent space representations generated by deep joint variational autoencoder processes are disclosed. A user identifier is received and a set of prior interactions associated with the user identifier is obtained. A set of latent space representations of the set of prior interactions is generated using a trained inference model. The trained inference model includes a joint variational autoencoder model. A set of k-recommended items is generated based on a comparison of the set of latent space representations of the set of prior interactions and a set of latent space representations of one or more items. A user interface including the set of k-recommended items is generated.

Abstract: An example system and method may provide a location-enabled collectable trading tool. An example system may receive, by a graphical user interface displayed on a first client device, initial collection attributes describing an item collection, where the item collection is associated with a first user in a database stored in a computer-accessible memory. The system may also determine an attribute of an item associated with the item collection and determine a trade eligibility of the item. In some instances, the system may identify a second user based on the attribute, the trade eligibility of the item, and an attribute of the second user. The system may then automatically provide communication between the first client device and a second client device associated with the identified second user.

Abstract: A session-specific conversion determination system can include a computing device configured to receive real-time signals of an event occurring from a user device. The real-time signals include interaction parameters. The computing device is also configured to obtain a set of historical data based on the interaction parameters and a set of facets and generate a probability affinity for each facet of the set of facets by implementing a machine learning model using the interaction parameters and the set of historical data as features. The computing device is also configured to adjust a display of a set of recommended items based on the probability affinity for each facet of the set of facets and transmit the display of the set of recommended items to a user interface of the user device.
