Intelligent navigation of a category system

A method, comprising:

• performing analysis of historical user activity data with respect to a query term to generate reference data associated with the query term;
• selecting a navigation recommendation model for the query term based at least in part on the reference data;
• using the selected navigation recommendation model to determine an initial current category of a category system;
• selecting at least one subcategory associated with a determined initial current category, the at least one subcategory being at least one level below a level associated with the determined initial current category, wherein the selecting of the at least one selected subcategory is based at least in the determined initial current category part on a portion of the reference data associated with the at least one subcategory;
• generating a set of recommendation data that includes the at least one selected subcategory having been moved to the level associated with the determined initial current category in the category system;
• and
• recording an association between the set of recommendation data and the query term in a recommendation list, wherein the set of recommendation data includes at least a portion of the category system to be displayed in response to a subsequently received query including the query term.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:

• performing analysis of historical user activity data with respect to a query term to generate reference data associated with the query term;
• selecting a navigation recommendation model for the query term based at least in part on the reference data;
• using the selected navigation recommendation model to determine an initial current category of a category system;
• selecting at least one subcategory associated with a determined initial current category, the at least one subcategory being at least one level below a level associated with the determined initial current category, wherein the selecting of the at least one selected subcategory is based at least in part on a portion of the reference data associated with the at least one subcategory;
• generating a set of recommendation data that includes the at least one selected subcategory having been moved to the level associated with the determined initial current category in the category system;
• and
• recording an association between the set of recommendation data and the query term in a recommendation list, wherein the set of recommendation data includes at least a portion of the category system to be displayed in response to a subsequently received query including the query term.

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• perform analysis of historical user activity data with respect to a query term to generate reference data associated with the query term;
• select a navigation recommendation model for the query term based at least in part on the reference data;
• use the selected navigation recommendation model to determine an initial current category of a category system;
• select at least one subcategory associated with a determined initial current category, the at least one subcategory being at least one level below a level associated with the determined initial current category, wherein the selecting of the at least one selected subcategory is based at least in part on a portion of the reference data associated with the at least one subcategory;
• generate a set of recommendation data that includes the at least one selected subcategory having been moved to the level associated with the determined initial current category in the category system;
• and
• record an association between the set of recommendation data and the query term in a recommendation list, wherein the set of recommendation data includes at least a portion of the category system to be displayed in response to a subsequently received query including the query term;
• and
• one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors and providing instructions to the one or more processors.
