摘要:
Techniques for using latent semantic structure of textual content ascribed to the items to provide automatic recommendations to the user. A user inputs a selected item and, in turn, a latent semantic algorithm is applied to the user selection and the textual content of the items in a database to generate a conceptual similarity between the selection and the items. A set of nearest items to the selected item is provided as a recommendation to the user of other items that may be of particular interest or relevance to the user's original selection based upon the conceptual similarity measure.
摘要:
An accessible electronic system is provided for storing old and new electronic identifiers and for searching and matching the new and old electronic identifiers of an entity. The electronic system creates a bridge from the old to the new electronic identifiers. During a registration process a registrant may provide the system with a preferred electronic identifier in addition to a series of functional and/or non-functional electronic identifiers. During a searching process, if the searcher provides the system with any of the electronic identifiers provided to the system by the registrant, the system will return the preferred electronic identifier of the registrant.
