Abstract: Methods and systems to build containers of uncategorized items are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems collect information from titles of items available for purchase within a network-based publication system, generate a title for a container of uncategorized items available for purchase within the network-based publication system that is based on the collected information, and associate two or more uncategorized items available for purchase within the network-based publication system to the container based on a comparison of titles of the two or more uncategorized items and the generated title for the container of uncategorized items.

Abstract: A system and method for selecting diverse product titles to display on a website are disclosed. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems described herein identify available products to be displayed, cluster the identified products based on their similarity to one another, select one or more products from each of the clusters, and display information, such as a title, associated with the randomly selected products.

Abstract: Methods and systems to build containers of uncategorized items are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems access a search request for items available for purchase via a network-based location, collect information associated with available items having product description information satisfying the search request and located at multiple network-based locations, determine one or more containers that associate items available for purchase based on the collected information, and publish a result for the search request that is based on the determined containers.

Abstract: Techniques for determining search results based on session based refinements are presented herein. A method is disclosed that includes receiving a query in a user session, the query comprising one or more search parameters, detecting, in the user session and after receiving the query, a user event associated with a property of an item, updating a record in a table that associates the query with the property, the table comprising a plurality of records that associate the query with respective item properties, the record comprising the query, the property, and a score, and ranking search results for a subsequent query based on the associated properties indicated in the plurality of records, the subsequent query including the one or more search parameters.

Abstract: Methods and systems to build containers of uncategorized items are described. In some example embodiments, the methods and systems access a search query received by a network-based publication system, identify a container of uncategorized items having a title that satisfies the search query, and return a result for the search query that is associated with the identified container.

Abstract: Techniques for determining search results based on session based refinements are presented herein. A method is disclosed that includes receiving a query in a user session, the query comprising one or more search parameters, detecting, in the user session and after receiving the query, a user event, updating, for each previous query in the user session that includes one or more of the search parameters, a record in a table for the query, the record storing a count of user events that match the user event, updating a score for each of the previous queries based on the count of user events, the respective records further storing the score, and ranking search results for a subsequent query based on the scores in the table, the subsequent query including the one or more search parameters.

Abstract: Systems and techniques for a query-breadth selected search result sorting mechanism are herein described. A search query can be received from a user. A breadth score can be generated for the search query. A sorting mechanism can be selected from a plurality of sorting mechanisms based on the breadth score. Search results can be identified for the query and the selected sorting mechanism can be applied to the search results to produce an ordered set of search results. The ordered set of search results can be presented to the user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating data dictionaries are disclosed. In one example, a system comprises a candidate list generator module to generate a list of keywords from search query information, a validation module to validate candidate token pairs based on a divergence value wherein candidate token pairs having divergence values exceeding a divergence threshold are valid token pairs, and a data dictionary module to receive the validated token pairs as entries in a vocabulary, and provide the validated token pairs in response to a search query containing a keyword corresponding to at least one entry in the vocabulary.

Abstract: There is provided an ecommerce method and system to generate a data dictionary for searching data items stored in a database. In one embodiment, the system comprises a candidate list generator module to generate a list of keywords from search query information and generate a set of token pairs including a keyword from the list of keywords and a token, the token being a synonym of the keyword. Demand information retrieved from query logs maintained for user-provided query entries is used to apply candidate selection rules to token pairs. The system also comprises a validation module and a data dictionary module to receive validated token pairs as entries in a vocabulary.
