Recommendation engine

A computing device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• a user interface module operable by the at least one processor to receive a first request for a recommendation to configure input data for output, wherein the first request comprises the input data;
• and
• a recommendation engine operable by the at least one processor to:
• determine, based at least in part upon one or more templates, an object class corresponding to the first request, and
• determine, based at least in part on the input data and the one or more templates, one or more output objects and one or more scores, wherein the one or more output objects each comprise a configuration of the input data for the determined object class, and wherein each of the one or more output objects is associated with a score of the one or more scores;
• wherein the user interface module is further operable by the at least one processor to:
• output a first indication of the one or more output objects having an associated score that exceeds a specified threshold value, and
• receive a second request to resolve a specified output object of the one or more output objects;
• wherein the recommendation engine is further operable by the at least one processor to determine, based at least in part on the one or more templates and the second request, a resolved output object;
• and
• wherein the user interface module is further operable by the at least one processor to output a second indication of the resolved output object.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a computing device to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, by the computing device, a first request for a recommendation to configure input data for output, wherein the first request comprises the input data;
• determining, by the computing device and based at least in part upon one or more templates, an object class corresponding to the first request;
• determining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the input data and the one or more templates, one or more output objects and one or more scores, wherein the one or more output objects each comprise a configuration of the input data for the determined object class, and wherein each of the one or more output objects is associated with a score of the one or more scores;
• outputting, by the computing device, a first indication of the one or more output objects having an associated score that exceeds a specified threshold value;
• responsive to receiving a second request to resolve a specified output object of the one or more output objects, determining, by the computing device and based at least in part on the one or more templates and the second request, a resolved output object;
• and
• outputting, by the computing device, a second indication of the resolved output object.
