congrats on the site, it looks great. I tried a similar thing with the now defunct pricelive.co.uk several years ago, as others have mentioned the data you get back from affiliate window, linkshare and cj etc is an absolute nightmare to deal with. It would be interesting to try using modern machine learning techniques to deal with this problem now. As far as the content matching goes, are you using elastic search's percolator for this? I always thought that would be a good match for this use case
- rahoulb 14y agoWe have a custom import written for each individual network/feed, so we try to iron out any "quirks" as early as possible. And for the matching itself, that again is custom-written. I'll be honest - I don't fully understand the maths of it myself (I leave that to the machine learning experts on the team) - but it basically extracts weighted keywords and phrases from your pages, matches them against an index of our products and then alters the weightings as performance data comes in.
