  • Publication number: 20230342365
    Abstract: A user preference hierarchy is determined from user response to images. Images may be tagged using machine learning models trained to determine values for images. Products are clustered according to 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 vector. A user may provide feedback regarding a price point and products are weighted according to a distribution about the price point. The distribution may be asymmetrical according to direction of movement of the price point. Filters may be dynamically defined and presented to a user based on popularity and frequency of occurrence of attribute-value pairs of search results and based on feedback regarding the search results.

  • Patent number: 11386301
    Abstract: Images are tagged with values in an image data hierarchy that is most subjective at its top level and least subjective at its bottom level, such as a hierarchy including style, type, and features for clothing. 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 user affinity for a product having a given product vector.

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.
