Abstract: Described herein are a system and techniques directed toward identifying personalized recommendations for a user for products which are non-uniform and/or which are not easily equated across retailers. In some embodiments, this may involve using one or more clustering techniques to identify a cluster into which the user belongs. The system may ascertain, based on cluster data, an effect that the product is likely to have on the user. The user's preferences (e.g., lifestyle and consumption method) may then be used to identify a likelihood that a product's likely effect on a user is one desired by the user. Products may then be ranked based on those likelihoods and products with the highest likelihood may be presented to the user.
