Abstract
This disclosure includes various methods and systems for automatically identifying product substitutes based on correlating product attributes to attributes of products in a subset of possible product pairs that are identified as substitute pairs.
Claims20
A computerized method of identifying substitute pairs in a group of products, each product associated with product attributes, the method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of inputs indicative of whether each of a subset of possible product pairs in the group of products is a substitute pair, where each substitute pair includes a first product and a second product that is a substitute for the first product;
- electronically accessing the product attributes associated with each of the products in the sub set;
- automatically identifying one or more of the product attributes that are most likely to correspond to whether a product is a substitute for another product;
- electronically accessing the product attributes associated with additional products in the group of products;
- and
- automatically identifying, based on the identified product attributes, one or more additional substitute pairs in the group of products.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a memory configured to store data indicative of a plurality of product attributes associated with a plurality of products;
- and
- a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured to:
- receive a plurality of inputs indicative of a first set of substitute pairs within a subset of the plurality of products;
- identify, based on the product attributes associated with the first set of substitute pairs, one or more of the product attributes that are most likely to correspond to whether a product is a substitute for another product;
- and
- identify, based on the identified product attributes, additional substitute pairs within the plurality of products.
