Item identification and resource acquisition system
The granted patent US12072921B2 outlines a system designed to enhance item acquisition through advanced clustering techniques. The system comprises a hardware processor and a memory that provides instructions for processing item identifiers. Upon receiving an item identifier, the system determines a grouping associated with it using a first clustering method based on vector distances derived from a language processing system. Subsequently, a sub-grouping is established through a second clustering method that utilizes string edit distances among identifiers within the grouping. The system then identifies a source for item acquisition based on the item identifier and the sub-grouping, ultimately providing this source to the user.
Additionally, the patent includes provisions for determining substitute item identifiers linked to the original item identifier and sub-grouping. The system can store these substitute identifiers and may provide them to either the requestor or the source. The language processing system may employ a transformer architecture, and the clustering processes can involve optimizing various functions related to resource timing and multipliers. The claims also encompass methods and computer program products that embody these functionalities, ensuring a comprehensive approach to item identification and acquisition through sophisticated data processing techniques.
