    Abstract: Methods and systems for enhancing a user interface of a client device are described. In an example embodiment, a machine processes a query to identify one or more item listings that satisfy the query. Each item listing is associated with at least one item being offered for sale. The machine assigns one or more scores to one or more item listings that satisfy the query based on an observed demand metric derived from historical performance data of the one or more item listings. The machine causes a presentation of the one or more item listings that satisfy the query in a search results page displayed in the user interface of the client device. The one or more item listings are positioned in the search results page based on the one or more scores assigned to the one or more item listings.

  • Patent number: 9412127
    Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing the quality of an item listing are described. In an example embodiment, a listing quality score for an item listing is derived as a weighted sum of first and second parts. The first part represents a predicted score based on a comparison of item attributes for the item listing that are known at listing time, with item attributes of similar item listings that have historical data available for assessing their actual performance. The second part is based on one or more observed demand metrics representing actual historical performance of the item listing. The weighting factor is derived, such that over time, the emphasis shifts from the predicted to the observed score.

  • Patent number: 9384278
    Abstract: A system and method for assessing excessive accessory listings in search results includes a processor-implemented textual mining module that parses a data field of a document and generates at least one token from the data field. A processor-implemented scoring module calculates a score for the at least one token, with the at least one token score representing a likelihood that the at least one token belongs to one of two binary classifications. The processor-implemented scoring module also calculates a score for the document based on the at least one token score, with the document score representing a probability of the document being in one of the two binary classifications. A processor-implemented decision tree module inputs the document score and document attribute values into a decision tree and generates an output representing a refined score based on the document score and at least one of the document attribute values.
