Application: Solving sparse data problems in a recommendation system with cold start (Patent ID: US20240202797A1)

The patent filed by SAP SE introduces a method and system for recommendation services to address sparse data scenarios by utilizing a cold generated item start technique. This technique involves building a matrix representing correlations between generated items, embedding representations of these items into a vector space, and finding a warm generated item as a proxy for the cold item. The system further includes filtering mechanisms, recommendation processing based on the matrix, and communication of recommendations to users or other systems. By employing embeddings and nearest neighbor search techniques, the technology enables recommendation services to function effectively even with limited transaction data.

The patent outlines a computer-implemented method, a computing system, and computer-readable media storing instructions for implementing the recommendation system. It details the process of identifying cold and warm generated items, utilizing embeddings and matrix operations, and responding to recommendation requests. The system also incorporates category filtering, text-based representations of items in the vector space, and mechanisms for handling incoming item recommendations. Overall, the technology described in the patent aims to enhance recommendation services by overcoming sparse data challenges and providing accurate recommendations based on item correlations and embeddings in a high-dimensional vector space.
