Abstract
Particular embodiments provide functionality for predicting purchasing needs according to multidimensional data. The multidimensional data may define a multidimensional space. The multidimensional space may have at least three dimensions, and each of the dimensions may be capable of providing variable information, and/or having a type that is different from a type of another one of the dimensions. Particular embodiments may retrieve information from data associated with the multidimensional space. Predictions regarding purchasing needs may be generated based on the retrieved information. Purchasing recommendations may then be provided based on the predictions.

A method comprising:
- retrieving, by one or more processors associated with one or more computer servers, historical transaction information associated with a user;
- generating, by the one or more processors, at least a portion of a user profile for the user based on the historical transaction information;
- estimating, by the one or more processors, purchasing needs of the user;
- generating, by the one or more processors, purchasing recommendations for the user based on the purchasing needs of the user;
- and
- providing, by the one or more processors, the purchasing recommendations.
One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
- retrieve, by one or more processors associated with one or more computer servers, historical transaction information associated with a user;
- generate, by the one or more processors, at least a portion of a user profile for the user based on the historical transaction information;
- estimate, by the one or more processors, purchasing needs of the user;
- generate, by the one or more processors, purchasing recommendations for the user based on the purchasing needs of the user;
- and
- provide, by the one or more processors, the purchasing recommendations.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
- retrieve historical transaction information associated with a user;
- generate at least a portion of a user profile for the user based on the historical transaction information;
- estimate purchasing needs of the user;
- generate purchasing recommendations for the user based on the purchasing needs of the user;
- and
- provide the purchasing recommendations.
