Methods, systems, and articles of manufacture consistent with the present invention provide a recommendation server that receives a recommendation request from a user of a client computer. The recommendation server contains software to provide recommendations to the user. To provide the recommendations, the recommendation server applies a constraint filter and a recommendation filter on a set of items.

An apparatus and methods advantageously select content items for dynamically-generated web pages in an intelligent and virtually autonomous manner. This permits the operator of the web site to rapidly identify and respond to trends, thereby advantageously updating the web site relatively quickly and efficiently without or with less time consuming and expensive manual labor. User interaction for a plurality of users with the web site is collected in a database. For various content items, the database is mined to extract relationships between probability and references of select attributes in probability models. When a new web page is requested, attributes, which can include attributes associated with a user, are used as references to the applicable probability models of selected content items, combined with value weighting to generate expected values, and selected for use in the web page at least partially based on the expected values.

Disclosed are various embodiments of a system, method and computer readable medium for network page latency reduction. In one embodiment, among others, a system comprises a processor circuit and a memory associated with the processor circuit. The system further comprises a distribution estimator configured to estimate a distribution corresponding to latency data regarding a plurality of instances of a network page. The system further comprises an attribute comparator configured to identify an attribute associated with a subset of the instances of a network page. The subset of the instances corresponds to a latency data substantially represented by a tail of the distribution. Additionally, the system comprises a recommendation generator configured to generate a modification recommendation for the subset of the instances of the network page.

A method, system, and medium are provided for market intelligence tools for travel arrangements. A travel arrangement can be optimized by collecting and analyzing past event data for a desired travel selection. A data analysis engine aggregates, analyzes, and stores historical data of average travel ticket prices, as a function of the day of the year, for a travel selection. Another database analysis includes aggregating day-of-the-week data by the data analysis engine, wherein average travel ticket prices are given as a function of the day of the week, for both the departure day and the return day. Another database analysis includes aggregating advance purchase time data by the data analysis engine, wherein average travel ticket prices are given as a function of the number of days prior to a departure date. These database analyses are combined to form probabilities for the best and worst times to purchase travel tickets.

Disclosed are various embodiments for modifying network site behavior. At least one session-level performance metric associated with a client is determined. The one or more session-level performance metrics are determined from one or more latency times. Each one of the latency times represents a time elapsed between a sending of a network page request in the client and a rendering in the client of a network page received from a network page server in response to the network page request. A response to a next network page request from the client is modified according to the one or more session-level performance metrics in order to adjust a next latency time for the client.

A recommendation process includes the consideration of the compatibility of the items being recommended. An electronic processing system for generating a compatibility-aware recommendation output set to a is user based, at least in part, on a set of item compatibility rules. The system includes a processing system of one or more processors configured to receive applicable data, including i) user preference data, and ii) item compatibility rules, and to produce a compatibility-aware recommendation output set using the user preference data and the item compatibility rules. A method and computer-readable storage device containing the method are also presented.
