Title: Global vector recommendations based on implicit interaction and profile data
Inventor: Nikaash Puri
IPC: G06Q30/06
Filed: 2018-06-28
Abstract: The application concerns providing item recommendations to users based on vector representations 314 of features. Data describing a user profile attribute 210, 222, 302, 306, an item identifier 214, 226, and an interaction between the user profile and the item is received. Each data element is associated with a word, and the words are formed into a sentence 310, 312. This may be repeated for multiple sessions 204, 216 to generate multiple sentences. When a cold user profile, i.e. a new user profile without its own history, requests an item, a recommendation is generated based on the existing sentences and data describing the cold user profile. This may be a vector comparison, such as the dot product of the cold user profile and the sentences to find the most relevant recommendation. Vector representations of the features may be determined by a word embedding model 228 and used to generate a feature similarity matrix. Interactions between a user profile and an item may be explicit interactions, such as viewing or buying items together, or implicit interactions, such as how many times an item was viewed or the amount of time spent looking at an item.
