Publication number: 20250139410Abstract: Methods are taught for creating training data for a learning algorithm, training the learning algorithm with the training data and using the trained learning algorithm to suggest domain names to users. A domain name registrar may store activities of a user on a registrar website. Preferably, domain name searches, selected suggested domain names and domain names registered to the user are stored as the training data in a training database. The training data may be stored so that earlier activities act as inputs to the learning algorithm while later activities are the expected outputs of the learning algorithm.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 26, 2023Publication date: May 1, 2025Inventors: Wei-Cheng Lai, Yu Tian, Wenbo Wang, Chungwei Yen
