  • Publication number: 20210272178
    Abstract: Determining the relevancy of an item to a user on, for example, an e-commerce platform has various advantages. It is an objective to provide a computing apparatus for determining relevancy of items to a user. A computing apparatus is configured to calculate a user attribute profile vector based on a user action history of a user. The computing apparatus may then calculate a similarity score between the user attribute profile vector and an item attribute vector of an item. A client device, a computing apparatus, methods, and a computer program are described.
