RUN-TIME UTILIZATION OF CONTEXTUAL PREFERENCES FOR A SEARCH INTERFACE

摘要

The present disclosure is directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods for enhancing search results based on a user's interaction history with a publication system (e.g., an electronic marketplace). As described herein, embodiments may infer various refinements for search queries; these refinements are based, at least in part, on the user's previous interactions with the search platform (e.g., from one or more previous sessions) of the publication system. In other words, as the user continuously interacts with the search platform of the publication system across multiple sessions, one or more of refinements may be inferred to help make the search results more relevant to the user.

主权项

1. A system comprising:
a parsing engine to:
receive a user activity log for user activities related to a plurality of item listings published via a publication system and monitored during a plurality of data communication sessions between the user and the publication system, each data communication session to comprise a time period of user interactions with the publication system via a client device; andparse the user activity log to determine one or more user preferences for one or more user contexts; an aggregation engine to aggregate the one or more user preferences and the one or more user contexts; a storage engine to store the aggregated user preferences and user contexts; a recommendation engine to:
query the storage engine for the stored aggregated user preferences and user contexts; anddetermine one or more user preferences for a current user context; and a processing engine to:
process one or more user activities during a current communication session with the user and the publication system; andprovide item listings to be displayed for the user via a client device used during the current session based, at least in part, on the determined one or more user preferences for the current user context.
