Abstract: This disclosure pertains to methods and systems for selecting an end to end freight service. In one embodiment, the methods and systems disclosed herein allow for rapid and efficient selection of freight services for moving mass. In one embodiment, the methods and systems disclosed herein comprise normalizing freight service options.

Abstract: In an embodiment, the methods and systems disclosed herein utilize a cloud-based service to receive data relating to expected and estimated costs in a commercial transaction for freight. In an embodiment, a computer system generates an electronic commercial transport cost plan for all expected and estimated costs for executing a commercial shipping operation. In an embodiment, a computer system analyzes actual costs associated with a commercial shipping operation to update and modify costs in electronic commercial transport cost plans.

Abstract: The present technology may identify item category affinities by identifying a plurality of classifications of an item. An accuracy of the plurality of classifications relative to one another for the item may be identified. A category affinity of the item may be determined based on the accuracy of the plurality of classifications relative to one another.

Abstract: The content provider provides content to the first data center, which then provides the content to the client. The client determines that a failure between content provider and the first data center may have occurred. When the client determines that a failure may have occurred, the client may connect to a second data center to receive content from the content provider through the second data center. Accordingly, the failure is detected and additionally, automatic failure recovery may be provided at the client.

Abstract: The use of graph-based semantic analysis with respect to items and tags may enable the discovery of the characteristics of items. A tag collection component may initially obtain a corresponding set of tags for each item of multiple items. A graph generation component may then generate a graph that includes a corresponding item node for each item and a corresponding tag node for each tag cluster of tags. Each item node in the graph may be connected to each of one or more tag nodes by a respective edge. Subsequently, following assignment of a label to each tag node, a graph evaluation component may execute a random walk algorithm on the graph. The execution of the random walk algorithm may provide a corresponding ranked list of tags for each item or a corresponding set of correlated tags for each tag.
