  • Patent number: 11308174
    Abstract: Systems and methods to identify a filter set in a keyword query are described. The system receives a query from a client machine. The system identifies filter sets based on the query and a based on rules. The filter sets include a first filter set that includes a first filter. The rules are utilized to associate at the least one keyword from the query to the first filter. The system further scores the filter sets based on probabilities to generate scores. The probabilities describe occurrences of attribute-value pairs in listings that respectively describe items that were previously transacted on a network-based marketplace. The system further identifies the first filter set from the filter sets based on the scores, generates a user interface including search results that are identified based on the identified first filter set, and communicates the user interface, over the network, to the client machine.

  • Patent number: 10839441
    Abstract: Systems and methods to seed a search are described. The system identifies a seed listing included in listings that describe items being offered for sale on a network-based marketplace. The system identifies a seed filter context based on the seed listing and probabilities. The probabilities describe occurrences of attribute-value pairs in a plurality of listings that respectively describe items that were previously transacted on the network-based marketplace.

  • Patent number: 10489842
    Abstract: A system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a computer-implemented method for providing recommendations are presented. Consistent with some embodiments, the method may include accessing a selection of queries executed on a database of items. The selection of queries may be used to retrieve a plurality of items from the database. The plurality of items may be grouped into one of multiple clusters based on similarities between items. The method may further include receiving a recommendation request related to an item corresponding to a first cluster of the multiple clusters.

  • Patent number: 9959351
    Abstract: Systems and methods to identify values for a selected filter are described. The system receives a selection from a client machine. The selection identifies a filter that includes a first attribute-value pair that includes a first attribute and a first value, the first attribute-value pair being included in a concept query that was extracted from a query including at least one keyword that was received over the network from the client machine. The system further identifies filters responsive to receiving the selection, the identification of the filters being based on the first attribute and probabilities describing occurrences of attribute-value pairs in listings that respectively describe items that were previously transacted on a network-based marketplace, the filters including values.
