Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for distributive creation of a reduced evaluated rule data set, the computer-implemented method comprising: determining a set of item combination identifiers, wherein each item combination identifier corresponds to a combination of items to be evaluated against a set of rules for creation of a reduced evaluated rule data set; determining a set of rule identifiers, wherein each rule identifier corresponds to a rule used in evaluating items for creation of the reduced evaluated rule data set, and wherein each rule comprises a set of rule components; for each pair of (1) an item combination identifier from the set of item combination identifiers and (2) a rule identifier from the set of rule identifiers: transmitting the pair of item combination identifier and rule identifier to at least one rule evaluation computing component of a set of rule evaluation computing components; receiving a result of an evaluation based at least in part on the item combination identifier and the rule identifier; aggregating the received results to create a reduced evaluated rule data set, wherein each result within the reduced evaluated rule data set is indexed according to a corresponding pair of item combination identifier and rule identifier; and storing the reduced evaluated rule data set.
