Abstract: A recommendation system increases the diversity of item recommendations provided to a target user by using machine learning to generate rules for identifying cross-category collections of items. For example, a first machine learning technique can be used to generate combination rules, representing categories of items frequently bought together, and these rules can be applied to generate a listing of cross-category seed item-recommended item pairs. These item pairs can be passed through a set of validation rules, generated by a second machine learning technique and representing correlations between attributes of items frequently bought together, to generate a confidence score representing the likelihood that a customer will want to purchase those two items together. The confidence score can be based on correlating one or more of color, price, seasonality, freshness, brand affinity, customer reviews, or item detail page views of the two items.
