Abstract
Methods and system for item matching are described. In one embodiment, compatibility-based text for an item may be accessed. A compatibility identifier may be identified based on the compatibility-based text. The compatibility identifier may be associated with an item cluster. The compatibility identifier may be used to identify a plurality of matching items. A result may be provided based on identification of the plurality of matching items. Additional methods and systems are disclosed.
Claims19
A method comprising:
- receiving a query;
- in response to receiving the query, identifying an item from a category;
- identifying a product from a different category, the product being compatible with the item;
- based on identification of the product, identification of an item descriptor extracted from the query or based on identification of the item, constructing a compatibility-based text;
- providing a result based on the compatibility-based text, the result comprising a plurality of items;
- and
- providing a compatibility-based notification of availability of the compatibility-based text for the item based on availability of compatibility data between the item and the product.
One or more non-transitory computer storage media having computer-executable instructions embodied thereon that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:
- receiving a query;
- in response to receiving the query, identifying an item from a category;
- identifying a product from a different category, the product being compatible with the item;
- based on identification of the product, identification of an item descriptor extracted from the query based on or identification of the item, constructing a compatibility-based text;
- providing a result based on the compatibility-based text, the result comprising a plurality of items;
- and providing a compatibility-based notification of availability of the compatibility-based text for the item based on availability of compatibility data between the item and the product.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory computer storage media storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive a query;
- in response to receiving the query, identify an item from a category;
- identify a product from a different category, the product being compatible with the item;
- based on identification of the product, identification of an item descriptor extracted from the query or based on identification of the item, construct a compatibility-based text;
- provide a result based on the compatibility-based text, the result comprising a plurality of items;
- and
- providing a compatibility-based notification of availability of the compatibility-based text for the item based on availability of compatibility data between the item and the product.
