  • Publication number: 20180218435
    Abstract: A recommendation system can be configured to customize search results and/or recommendations of content (e.g., customized products, products, advertising, layouts, etc.) using online and/or offline activity captured on a user population. The system can be configured to customize the content returned to users to achieve specific behaviors and/or influence the current user's behavior, responsive to modeling previous users. For example, the system can capture and aggregate user behavior/activity and score content based on the actions taken with respect to the content. In some examples, the scoring can be filtered or augmented by matching current user characteristics to characteristics of the previous users. The scoring can be generated independent of the language in which the activity/user behavior occurred. According to one embodiment, the system is configured to generate language independent models and utilize the language independent modeling to deliver customized content (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20150339276
    Abstract: A custom design system is provided that allows real-time design of products by a user and improves the design experience for designing custom products. In one implementation, a system is provided that is capable of scaling vector-based images for various outputs (e.g., printing, display, etc.) without human intervention and without appreciable image degradation. In another implementation, it would be beneficial to allow real-time editing of design data in relation to custom product creation within a client's web browser application. It is appreciated that if a custom product may be designed within a web browser experience, a more seamless design experience may be created for the user. In particular, if design processing were offloaded to the client (e.g., within the web browser), delays in performing certain operations such as saves and updates would be reduced. To this end, a system that provides such capability using vector-based design image formats may be used.
