摘要： Methods and systems for automatically synthesizing product information from multiple data sources into an on-line catalog are disclosed, and in particular, for automatically synthesizing the product information based on attribute-value pairs. Information for a product may be obtained, via entity extraction, feed ingestion, and other mechanisms, from a plurality of structured and unstructured data sources having different taxonomies and schemas. Product information may additionally or alternatively be obtained or derived based on popularity data. The product information may be cleansed, segmented and normalized. The product information may be clustered so closest products, attribute names and attribute values are associated. A representative value for an attribute name may be determined, and the on-line catalog may be updated so that entries are comprehensive, meaningful and useful to a catalog user. Updates from at least 500 million different data sources may be scheduled to occur as frequently as several times daily.

摘要： Methods and computer-readable media are provided for determining suggested queries. A user enters a search website, and the user is identified based on a user identification. Suggested queries are determined based on a group associated with the user. This association is created by extracting queries from data logs, categorizing the queries into groups based on their respective subject matter, associating the user with one or more groups, and determining suggested queries for each group. The suggested queries are communicated for display.

摘要： Data, such as product data or airline flight data, is represented using structured data tuples, tables, or as data with related metadata and tags, and stored by a search engine. Partial queries are received by the search engine from a user and are used to generate a dialog between the search engine and the user. The dialog may include suggested query completions for the partial queries that correspond to a schema associated with the data tuples. The suggested query completions may be determined using attribute combinations of attributes and attribute values, or metadata and tags associated with the data tuples, including known synonyms and misspellings. The user may interact with the query completions in the dialog, and the search engine may revise the dialog and the query completions according to the interactions. A user may query data tuples without knowing the schema used by the underlying data structures.

摘要： Systems and methods for dynamic pricing in real-time marketplace transactions are provided. A method may include receiving a request from a bid agent associated with a location-aware user device, and an offer for goods/services from an offer agent that is associated with a merchant device. The offer may include an inventory and one or more locations of the goods/services. The method includes determining a location of the location-aware user device, and determining whether the inventory and the one or more locations of the goods/services are sufficient to satisfy the request. If so, then the method includes establishing a real-time dynamic marketplace session between the offer agent and the bid agent to facilitate a negotiation for the goods/services. Upon receiving an acceptance from the offer agent for a bid from the bid agent, the method includes processing a purchase transaction for the goods/services.

摘要： Previously received queries from a search log are analyzed to determine a category of structured data associated with each query. For example, the categories may correspond to consumer product categories such as televisions, digital cameras, etc. For each category, the terms of the queries associated with the category are correlated with the attributes and attribute values of the structured data tuples associated with the category. The attributes may be ranked based on the correlation. When a subsequent query is received, the category of the query is determined and the ranked attributes associated with the category are used to select facets that are displayed to the user along with the search results.

摘要： A structured query may specify attribute values for attributes. An estimate of the number of items that will match the structured query if it is applied to a structured database is determined. If the estimated number of items is below a threshold, the structured query may be relaxed to form new candidate structured queries. The number of candidate queries may be determined based on a desired running time. Each of the candidate structured queries may be determined by changing one or more attribute values of the attributes of the structured query. Estimates of the number of items each of the candidate structured queries will match is determined, and the candidate structured query that has the highest matching estimation is used to query the database. The matching results may be output.

摘要： Described is answering online web queries from a structured data store, such as a products database. An online web search query is modified into an evaluation expression for accessing a structured data store (e.g., a database, XML file, a flat table) to find search results. A query is matched to a pattern, which is used to generate the expression, as well as determine to which structured data store the query is routed. Tokens (e.g., words) in the query are processed against a dictionary of token classes (sets of tokens) and patterns (sets of token classes) to annotate the query to map the query to the matching pattern. A translation process generates the expression based on translation hints that correspond to the matching pattern. Also described is offline mining of query logs to generate the dictionaries.

摘要： An achievement system tracks users' offline activities and awards achievements to users for participation in particular offline activities. The achievements that are awarded for particular activities and/or to particular users may be sponsored by merchants, who may compensate an achievement system provider for the opportunity to sponsor the achievements. To award users achievements, the users' offline activities are tracked. When a user participates in an offline activity for which achievements are available, the user is awarded an achievement. The achievement may be stored in an achievement profile for the user. In some embodiments, achievements earned by users may be converted into other benefits and alternative awards.
