SYSTEMS AND METHODS TO IDENTIFY AND ASSOCIATE RELATED ITEMS

摘要

Systems and methods to identify and associate related items are described. The system receives listing information describing a part that is offered for sale on a network-based marketplace that includes categories. The listing information includes a title and a category. The system stores the listing information in a listing according to the category. The system parses the title of the listing to identify tokens and to identify whether the tokens match a token in parts descriptors that describe parts that are associated with the first category. The system generates scores based on the tokens and the parts descriptors and may select a part type identifier based on the scores. Finally, the system registers the listing with the parts type identifier and associates listing(s) with the listing based on the parts type identifier. For example, the system may associate listings describing parts that are commonly purchased together.
