Abstract: For users to receive products that they purchased online, they may provide their delivery addresses to the e-commerce system. To minimize the number of incorrect delivery addresses processed by the e-commerce system, an address validation system may be used. However, technical challenges exist for such systems. A validation system which searches an address database for an exact match may be too strict and reject a user-provided address for insignificant reasons. Further, the validation system may not factor in aspects that are specific to postal address searching. In some embodiments, an intelligent address validation system may be implemented which performs an informed search that considers more than mere exact matches. Using the results of the informed search, the intelligent address validation system may perform further processing to choose a reference address, i.e., the address to which the user-provided address will finally be compared, for validation and correction suggestions purposes.
