Ontology based recommendation systems and methods

This invention describes a computer system that recommends products or services. It works by taking keywords from a user's profile, identifying core concepts within those keywords, and then expanding those concepts using a specialized database of related ideas. Finally, it matches these expanded concepts against keywords associated with various items to suggest relevant recommendations.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread adoption of Large Language Models and advanced natural language processing. These technologies can now significantly automate the creation and maintenance of the required 'Concept Space Ontology' and improve the semantic understanding and 'creative discovery' of connections, which were major hurdles in 2013.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, ontology database, keyword matching.
