CPC G06Q 30/0625 (2013.01) | 19 Claims |
1. A computer implemented method for characterizing items using tuples in a multi-dimensional search space, the method comprising:
retrieving, from one or more databases, a training set comprising a plurality of known tuples each paired with associated parameters;
applying a machine learning algorithm to the training set to generate a classifier model;
storing the classifier model in the one or more databases;
acquiring, by a server via a computer network, transaction records from remote computing devices, wherein the transaction records identify purchases of the items;
extracting, from the transaction records, purchase parameters characterizing the purchases of the items, wherein the purchase parameters are variables of the classifier model;
generating, by the server using the classifier model and based on the purchase parameters, computed the tuples respectively representing the items in the multi-dimensional search space, wherein a measure of similarity between two of the items is indicated by a distance in the multi-dimensional search space between two of the computed tuples respectively representing the two of the items;
compiling item records, each including a different one of the computed tuples; and
storing the item records in one or more databases.
