    Abstract: A user preference hierarchy is determined from user response to images that are tagged. Tagged images may be generated by processing them with machine learning models trained to determine values for images. Product records including images and other data are analyzed to generate attribute vectors that are encoded to generate product vectors. Products are clustered according to their product vectors. Images of products within a cluster are clustered according to composition and groups of images are selected from image clusters for soliciting feedback regarding user preference for products of a cluster. Feedback is used to train a user preference model to estimate affinity for a product having a given product vector. A user may provide feedback regarding a price point and products are weighted according to a distribution having a highest value at the price point. The distribution may be asymmetrical according to direction of movement of the price point.
