  • Publication number: 20220207461
    Abstract: A system can implement an on-demand delivery service for available menu items by generate menu item vectors representing menu items and personal preference vectors representing user preferences in latent space comprising a word corpus of descriptive terms. Based on these vectors or matrices, the system can determine a set of matching menu items for the user, and transmit content data to a computing device of the user, causing the computing device to display the set of matching menu items as recommended selectable items for on-demand delivery. Based on a user selection of one of the available menu items, the system can coordinate on-demand delivery of the selected menu item to the respective user.

  • Patent number: 9529858
    Abstract: A method includes accessing a number of cards from a database. The cards are ranked in the database based on a test conducted on a number of users. The cards are associated with one or more rule states. The one or more rule states provide binary outcomes of one or more rules. Each rule is identified using a code. The test is conducted by presenting different random sequences of the cards to different users and receiving inputs from the number of users. The method further includes receiving a request for a presentation area from a client device operated by a user. The presentation area is used for displaying the number of cards in an order, which is determined based on the test. The method includes providing the number of cards for display in the order within the presentation area on the client device of the user in response to the request.
