ESSENTIAL ACCESSORY RECOMMENDATIONS

Abstract:

A method includes determining, by a processor of a computing device, user behavior data comprising a plurality of ordered user interactions with a plurality of items via an electronic interface. The method further includes replacing, by the processor, each of the plurality of items in the user behavior data with a respective item type of a plurality of item types and replacing, by the processor, a predetermined number of the respective item types in the plurality of ordered user interactions with a respective parent item type of a plurality of parent item types from an item taxonomy. The method further includes inputting, by the processor, the plurality of ordered user interactions into a machine learning algorithm to train the machine learning algorithm to determine an anchor/accessory relationship between at least one of the plurality of item types and at least one of the plurality of parent item types.
