Systems and methods for automated interface element generation and presentation

A computer implemented method, comprising:

• receiving a request for a user interface including one or more candidate items;
• selecting a set of interface elements for display in conjunction with at least one of the one or more candidate items based on a combined interface element affinity score for each of the one or more candidate items, wherein the combined interface element affinity score is a combination of a user affinity score, candidate item affinity score, and position data;
• obtaining a quantity of available interface element locations based on a quantity of the one or more candidate items;
• selecting a subset of interface elements from the set of interface elements based on a first selection criteria, wherein a quantity of interface elements in the subset of interface elements is less than a quantity of available interface element locations in the user interface;
• and
• generating a set of instructions to cause a device to generate a user interface including the subset of interface elements displayed in conjunction with a corresponding one of the one or more candidate items.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a request for a user interface including one or more candidate items;
• select a set of interface elements for display in conjunction with at least one of the one or more candidate items based on a combined interface element affinity score for each of the one or more candidate items, wherein the combined interface element affinity score is a combination of a user affinity score, candidate item affinity score, and position data;
• obtain a quantity of available interface element locations based on a quantity of the one or more candidate items;
• select a subset of interface elements from the set of interface elements based on a first selection criteria, wherein a quantity of interface elements in the subset of interface elements is less than a quantity of available interface element locations in the user interface;
• and
• generate a set of instructions to cause a device to generate a user interface including the subset of interface elements displayed in conjunction with a corresponding one of the one or more candidate items.
