Removal of listings based on similarity

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configured to control operations, the operations including:

• receiving a search request for an item listing for an event;
• retrieving a first listing for the event and a second listing for the event from a listing database based on the search request;
• determining a similarity score between the first listing for the event and the second listing for the event based on a plurality of properties common to the first listing for the event and the second listing for the event;
• responsive to the similarity score satisfying a threshold, determining the first listing for the event as superior relative to the second listing for the event based on a comparison of at least two properties selected by a user between the first listing for the event and the second listing for the event, the properties comprising date, price, seat, row, section, proximity, view, delivery method, or payment method;
• generating second instructions to be transmitted to a remote location to generate a user interface to be displayed at the remote location, the user interface providing a list of results including the first listing for the event, the second instructions excluding the second listing for the event from the list of results displayed on the user interface based on the similarity score a satisfying the threshold and determining the first listing for the event as superior relative to the second listing for the event;
• transmitting the second instructions to the remote location;
• generating an interactive visual element depicting the first and the second listings as part of the user interface;
• generating a window overlaying at least a portion of the interactive visual element, the window displaying the list of results;
• in response to a user selection of a region of the interactive visual element at the remote location, running an additional search;
• and
• transmitting second instructions to the remote location to update the window to include results of the additional search.

A system comprising:

• a server at a location remote from a device, the server including:
• a processor;
• and
• computer-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, are configured to:
• receive, from the device, a search request for an item listing for an event;
• retrieve a first listing for the event and a second listing for the event from a listing database based on the search request;
• determine a similarity score between the first listing for the event and the second listing for the event based on a plurality of properties common to the first listing for the event and the second listing for the event;
• responsive to the similarity score satisfying a threshold, determine the first listing for the event as superior relative to the second listing for the event based on a comparison of at least two properties selected by a user between the first listing for the event and the second listing for the event, the properties comprising date, price, seat, row, section, proximity, view, delivery method, or payment method;
• generate second instructions to be transmitted to the device to instruct the device to generate a user interface to be displayed at the device, the user interface providing a list of results including the first listing for the event, the second instructions excluding the second listing for the event from the list of results displayed on the user interface based on the similarity score a satisfying the threshold and determining the first listing the event as superior relative to the second listing for the event;
• transmit the instructions to the device;
• generate an interactive visual element depicting the first and the second listings as part of the user interface;
• generate a window overlaying at least a portion of the interactive visual element, the window displaying the list of results;
• in response to a user selection of a region of the interactive visual element at the remote location, run an additional search;
• and
• transmit second instructions to the remote location to update the window to include results of the additional search.
