Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided to allow a user to explore an n-dimensional embedding space using a recommender system, including a navigational UI. A set of n-dimensional embeddings from an n-dimensional embedding space may be transformed into a set of lower dimensional embeddings, based on a dimensionality reduction. The set of lower dimensional embeddings may be processed to generate a configuration of spaced items, and a signal may be transmitted to cause a display of a remote user device to output the navigational user interface (UI) having a plurality of selectable items according to the configuration of spaced items, the plurality of selectable items corresponding to lower dimensional embeddings of the set of lower dimensional embeddings. The disclosed method and apparatus may enable improved user interaction with an e-commerce website while browsing through dense product spaces.
