  • Publication number: 20220342876
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for adaptive search refinement is provided. The method may include obtaining an indication of user engagement with an online marketplace and in response to obtaining the indication, providing visually guided search refinement to construct a search query for searching the online marketplace. Providing the visually guided search refinement may include providing search refinement options, obtaining an indication of the approval or disapproval of one or more of the search refinement options, and repeating providing the search refinement options and receiving the indication. For each iteration of providing the plurality of search refinement options, at least some of the search refinement options may be different and determined based on previously received indications of both approval and disapproval. The method for adaptive search refinement may further include providing search results based on the search query.

  • Publication number: 20150221014
    Abstract: In various example embodiments, a system and method for determining an item group and generating a group representation for the item group are provided. Accordingly, item data associated with a user may be accessed. The item data may include item temporal data. Item relationships between pieces of the item data corresponding to items may be identified. The item relationships may include a temporal relationship that may be based on the item temporal data. An item group associated with the items may be determined based on the item relationships. A group representation corresponding to the item group may be generated. The group representation may summarize the items associated with the item group. The methods and systems may cause presentation of the group representation to the user.

  • Patent number: 6180939
    Abstract: A temperature compensation system (300) is provided for compensating measurements from a sensor (240). A temperature transducer (310) is placed in close proximity to a manufacturing workstation as a means of measuring the ambient temperature associated with the workstation (200). A reference workpiece (100) is placed within a sensing zone of the sensor (240). The system (300) includes a temperature compensating module (320) that is connected to the sensor (240) and to the temperature transducer (310) for determining a baseline measurement of the reference workpiece at a reference temperature. The temperature compensating module (320) is further adapted for collecting a plurality of measurements of the reference workpiece over a plurality of temperatures for establishing a relationship between these measurements and their corresponding temperature values.
