Product space representation mapping

A computer program product for generating a special map of a plurality of products based on relationships between products of the plurality of products, the computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising:
• instructions to receive a query, from a user, via a user device, wherein the query includes an associated target product;
• instructions to receive a set of data associated with a plurality of products, wherein the plurality of products includes at least the target product, wherein each product of the plurality of products includes at least an ingredient;
• instructions to calculate an Earth Mover's Distance value for at least one pair of products of the plurality of products, wherein the at least one pair of products includes the target product;
• instructions to communicate the Earth Mover's Distance value to a user;
• instructions to receive a weight value based on a user input selection;
• instructions to modify the Earth Mover's Distance value based on the received weight;
• instructions to determine a flow vector based on the modified Earth Mover's Distance value of the at least one pair of products;
• and
• instructions to map each product of the at least one pair of products to a vector graph based on determined flow vector and associated at least one pair of products.

A computer system for generating a special map of a plurality of products based on relationships between products of the plurality of products, the computer system comprising:
