  • Patent number: 11915158
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for cross-domain action prediction are provided. Action sequence embeddings are generated based upon a textual embedding and a graph embedding utilizing past user action sequences corresponding to sequences of past actions performed by users across a plurality of domains. An autoencoder is trained to utilize the action sequence embeddings to project the action sequence embeddings to obtain intent space vectors. A service switch classifier is trained using the intent space vectors. In response to the service switch classifier predicting that a current user will switch from a current domain to a next domain, the current user is provided with a recommendation of an action corresponding to the next domain.

  • Patent number: 11914582
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating a list of suggested queries associated with one or more keywords are provided. For example, one or more keywords may be received via a search interface. A plurality of queries associated with the one or more keywords may be determined based upon the one or more keywords and a historical query database. A plurality of relationship scores associated with the plurality of queries may be generated based upon a plurality of search sessions associated with the historical query database. The historical query database may be analyzed to determine a plurality of click rates associated with the plurality of queries. A list of suggested queries may be generated based upon the plurality of relationship scores and the plurality of click rates.

  • Publication number: 20210295410
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content providing, searching and/or hosting systems supported by or configured with devices, servers and/or platforms. The disclosed systems and methods provide a novel recommendation framework that automatically applies transfer learning from a knowledge-base and generating a multi-variable based unified recommendation. The framework dynamically develops a universal word dictionary between a source language and a target language based on Natural Language Processing (NLP word embeddings. This not only leverages the accuracy of multi-lingual product embeddings, but also increases the efficiency and effectiveness in how it can be applied. The disclosed systems and methods, therefore, provides a novel computerized solution for how different knowledges learnt from one electronic platform can be adapted to a global platform for providing global users electronic information.
