Methods, systems, articles of manufacture, and apparatus to map client specifications with standardized characteristics

An apparatus comprising:

• means for building a keyword dictionary, the dictionary building means to:
• build the keyword dictionary from universal product code (UPC) definitions, the keyword dictionary including numerical representations of custom characteristics associated with a plurality of concept clusters;
• assign numerical representations to the UPC definitions using the keyword dictionary, the UPC definitions associated with a first concept cluster;
• and
• identify dictionary values for the UPC definition based on the assigned numerical representation;
• means for associating the dictionary values with a first UPC in the first concept cluster, the associating means to:
• determine if a majority of dictionary values identified for the first UPC are the same dictionary value;
• and
• when the majority of dictionary values are the same dictionary value, assign the dictionary value to the first UPC;
• and
• means for executing a machine learning model, the model executing means to execute the machine learning model to assign a dictionary value to the first UPC when the majority of dictionary values are not the same dictionary value.

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions, which when executed, cause at least one processor to, at least:

• assign numerical representations to product definitions using a keyword dictionary, the product definitions associated with a first concept cluster, the keyword dictionary including numerical representations of custom characteristics associated with a plurality of concept clusters;
• identify dictionary values for the product definition based on the assigned numerical representations;
• associate the dictionary values with a first universal product code (UPC) in the first concept cluster;
• determine if a majority of dictionary values identified for the first UPC are the same dictionary value;
• when the majority of dictionary values are the same dictionary value, assign the dictionary value to the first UPC;
• and
• when the majority of dictionary values are not the same dictionary value, execute a machine learning model to assign a dictionary value to the first UPC.
