Abstract:
A source product and a competitor product are automatically matched by computing similarity scores between the products. An attribute of a source product is extracted from information received from a user. The extracted attribute is then used to generate a search term. A search for competitor product information is performed using the search term and a similarity score between the source product and the competitor product is calculated. In one implementation, the similarity score is calculated by generating a first value pair for the source product and the competitor product, and for the first value pair, (1) assigning a value to a degree of similarity between the source product and the competitor product with respect to a common feature, and (2) finding the product of the assigned value and a weight value assigned to the common feature.
