FIG. 2a illustrates a flow chart 200 of one embodiment of an information output method comprising:
step 201, obtaining a type name of at least one item type and reference item information of a current reference item under each item type, and constructing an item type set according to the type name.
In this embodiment, the electronic device (for example, the server 105 shown in fig. 1) may receive the information sent by the terminal devices 101, 102, and 103 in a wired or wireless manner, and determine the reference article information of the information.
The server 105 first collects the item names sent by the terminal devices 101, 102, 103 to obtain an item name set, where the item names in the item name set may be: purifiers, filters, descalers, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, fans, radiators, heaters, and the like. Among them, the purifier is generally used for purifying liquid or air; filters are commonly used to remove other impurities from liquids; descalers are commonly used to remove solid or liquid scale; dehumidifiers are commonly used to remove moisture from air or objects; the air conditioner is generally used for heating or cooling air and has a certain dehumidification function; fans are generally used to accelerate air flow, and can be divided into a fan for heating and a fan for heat dissipation; heat sinks are commonly used to reduce the temperature of an object; heaters are commonly used to heat objects. The foregoing is a functional description of the various articles, which may also be described in terms of materials, sizes, colors, powers, and the like. Different descriptions may be divided into different item types. Thus, the set of item names includes item names of items under at least two item types.
The same item may be described from multiple angles, and different angles may classify the item into different types. For example, the above-mentioned purifiers can be classified into sanitary types; filters can be classified into filter types; descalers can be classified into the decontamination type; the dehumidifier can be classified into a damp-clearing type; air conditioners can be classified into temperature control types; fans can be classified into cooling types; heat sinks can be classified into heat dissipation types; the heater may be classified into heating types. At this time, the obtained item type set corresponding to the item name set includes: hygiene type, screening type, decontamination type, damp clearing type, temperature control type, cooling type, heat dissipation type and heating type. The above-mentioned articles can also be classified into other types in terms of materials and the like, and the details are not repeated here. And then construct a collection of item types by type name.
Each article type has respective reference article, and after the article type is determined, the current reference article information of the article type can be obtained. The reference article information includes the number of reference articles and the name of each reference article, the reference articles are used for determining the type of the articles, and the reference articles can be different at different time.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the building the item type set by the type name may further include: a step of aggregating the article types, said step of aggregating the article types comprising the steps of:
in the first step, an item type set is constructed by the type names.
After the item type corresponding to each item name is determined, the names of the item types are combined to form an item type set.
A second step of performing the following polymerization steps: clustering two item types meeting the following aggregation conditions in the item type set: the sum of the type similarity, the semantic similarity and the text similarity between the two article types is greater than a set threshold; forming a new article type set by the article types formed after polymerization and the article types which are not polymerized in the article type set; judging whether two article types meeting the aggregation condition exist in the new article type set or not, and if not, outputting the new article type set as an article type set;
in order to accurately divide the types of the articles, the types of the articles can be accurately judged according to the type similarity, the semantic similarity and the text similarity among the types of the articles. The type similarity is obtained through vector calculation of the item name types, the semantic similarity is obtained through calculation of the number of the item name types appearing in the item message, and the text similarity is obtained through calculation of the same characters and different characters in the names of the item name types. If the sum of the type similarity, the semantic similarity and the text similarity between the two article types is larger than a set threshold, the two article types can be considered to be classified into one type, otherwise, the two article types can not be classified into one type. When aggregation into one type is possible, the type name after aggregation may be one of the type names before aggregation, or may be another type name. And the aggregated article types are put into the article type set again to form a new article type set, and if two article types capable of being aggregated do not exist in the new article type set at the moment, the aggregation is finished, and the new article type set can be output as the article type set.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, a flowchart of a process of calculating a type similarity between two article types is shown in fig. 2b, and includes the following steps:
in step 20111, a corresponding reference item vector is set for each reference item included in the item type, and an item type vector of the item type is constructed according to the reference item vector.
Wherein the reference item is used to determine the type of item. For example, reference items of hygiene type may be soap, toothbrush, shampoo and detergent, etc. And respectively setting a reference article vector according to the attribute of each reference article. For example, the attributes of a soap may include sterilization, decontamination, oil removal, water solubility, etc., and the reference item vector for a soap includes: sterilizing, removing dirt, removing oil, and water-soluble. Thus, combining the soap reference item vector, the toothbrush reference item vector, the shampoo reference item vector, and the detergent reference item vector constitutes a hygiene-type item type vector. It should be noted that each reference item vector should contain the same number of attributes. Each attribute is assigned a vector, and the reference item vector is the vector sum of the attributes.
In step 20112, the cosine similarity between the two above-mentioned object type vectors is calculated.
The cosine similarity is used for judging the similarity of the two article type vectors through the cosine value of the vector included angle. The number of attributes included in the reference item vector should be the same, and the reference item vectors included in the item type vector may be the same or different. The difference is that the more reference item vectors, the more the trend of the item type vector is affected, and the more the angle between the two item type vectors is affected.
In step 20113, the type similarity is determined according to the cosine similarity.
The greater the cosine similarity between two item type vectors, the greater the similarity of the two item types. Here, a threshold may be set for the cosine similarity, and when the cosine similarity is greater than the threshold, the type similarity is 1, which indicates that the two article types are similar, otherwise, the type similarity is 0, which indicates that the two article types are not similar. It is also possible to directly output the value of the cosine similarity as the type similarity.
In some optional implementation manners of this embodiment, clustering two item types that meet the following aggregation condition in the item type set may further include: determining an inclusion relationship between the two article types, wherein the inclusion relationship is used for representing whether a reference article under one article type is completely contained in the other article type, and determining the type similarity according to the cosine similarity and the inclusion relationship.
When whether the reference article in one article type is completely contained in the other article type exists between the two article types, the two article types can be considered to be certainly similar, at this time, the value of the containing relationship is 1, and otherwise, the value is 0.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, a flowchart of a calculation process of semantic similarity between two item types is shown in fig. 2c, and may include the following steps:
step 20121, at least one item message in a set time period is obtained.
The article message here means information such as a newspaper and an article message related to the article, and reflects the latest state of the article. The items can be divided into different types according to different standards, and when several item types appear in the item message at the same time, the item types can be explained to have relevance to a certain extent.
Step 20122, determining the number of the article messages which are simultaneously subject to the two article types to obtain the simultaneous occurrence number.
The article information in a period of time is usually many, and the simultaneous occurrence number can be determined by finding out the article information which takes the two article types as the subjects and simultaneously occurs from the article information.
Step 20123, determining the number of the item messages with the two item types as the subjects in the item messages to obtain a first occurrence number and a second occurrence number.
And finding out the item message which takes only one of the two item types as a subject from the item messages, and determining the first occurrence number and the second occurrence number.
Step 20124, the ratio of the number of simultaneous occurrences to the product of the first number of occurrences and the second number of occurrences is used as the semantic similarity.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, clustering two item types meeting the following aggregation condition in the item type set may include the following steps:
the first step is to determine the same number of characters and different number of characters of the type names of the two article types.
For example, the first item type is a detergent type name, the second item type is a detergent type name, both type names have "soil release", and there are 4 different words in both type names, namely "go", "soil", "powder" and "agent". The same number of letters is 2 and the different number of letters is 4.
And secondly, taking the ratio of the same number of the characters to the different number of the characters as the text similarity.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, clustering two item types in the item type set that meet the following aggregation condition includes: setting weights for the type similarity, the semantic similarity and the text similarity respectively, and aggregating the two article types into one article type when the sum of the product of the type similarity, the semantic similarity and the text similarity and the respective weight is greater than a set threshold.
According to different article types, different weights can be set for the type similarity, the semantic similarity and the text similarity respectively, the weights are multiplied by the similarity values and then added, if the value at the moment is larger than a set threshold value, the two article types can be clustered, otherwise, the two article types can not be clustered.
And thirdly, if the new item type set exists, continuing to perform the aggregation step by taking the new item type set as an item type set.
If there are two item types capable of being aggregated in the new item type set, the above aggregation process is repeated with the new item type set as the item type set until there are no two item types capable of being aggregated.
Step 202, calculating a confidence between at least one specified item and an item type corresponding to the type name in the item type set.
The designated article may be a reference article in the article type or may be another non-reference article. To determine whether a given item can be a reference item under the item type, a confidence level between the given item and the item type needs to be calculated. The confidence level is used to characterize the probability that the designated item is the reference item for the item type.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the calculating the confidence between the at least one specified item and the item type corresponding to the type name in the item type set may include:
in the first step, the number of times each specified item is used as a reference item for the item type is queried.
If the designated item is previously taken as a reference item for the item type, the number of times the designated item is taken as the reference item is recorded.
And secondly, determining the confidence between the item type and the specified item according to the times, the quantity of the item type and the quantity of the reference item currently contained in the item type.
Determining the confidence between the specified item and the item type by taking the number of times the specified item is taken as a reference item, the number of the item types and the number of reference items of which the item types are current. The higher the confidence, the greater the likelihood that the designated item will become the reference item for the item type.
Step 203, calculating the correlation between at least one specified item and the item type corresponding to the type name in the item type set.
The correlation is used for representing the degree of correlation between the specified item and the item type and is determined by the number of the names of the item type and the number of the names of the specified item in the item message within a set time.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the calculating a correlation between the at least one specific item and the item type corresponding to the type name in the item type set may include:
in a first step, an item type vector is constructed from a current reference item for the item type.
The reference item is used to determine the type to which the item belongs. For example, reference items of hygiene type may be soap, toothbrush, shampoo and detergent, etc. And respectively setting a reference article vector according to the attribute of each reference article. For example, the attributes of a soap may include sterilization, decontamination, oil removal, water solubility, etc., and the reference item vector for a soap includes: sterilizing, removing dirt, removing oil, and water-soluble. Thus, combining the soap reference item vector, the toothbrush reference item vector, the shampoo reference item vector, and the detergent reference item vector constitutes a hygiene-type item type vector. It should be noted that each reference item vector should contain the same number of attributes. Each attribute is assigned a vector, and the reference item vector is the vector sum of the attributes.
In the second step, a specified item vector is constructed by specifying items.
Similar to constructing the reference item vector, the specified item vector may also be constructed by specifying attributes of the item.
And thirdly, taking the frequency of the appearance of the name of the specified article in the article message which takes the name of the article type as the subject in the set time as the frequency of the appearance of the specified article.
The article message here means information such as a newspaper and an article message related to the article, and reflects the latest state of the article. The items can be divided into different types according to different standards, and when several item types appear in the item message at the same time, the item types can be explained to have relevance to a certain extent. The number of occurrences of the name of the specified item in the item message that is subject to the item type is determined from the item messages.
And fourthly, taking the frequency of the appearance of the name of the article type in the article message which takes the name of the specified article as the subject in the set time as the frequency of the appearance of the article type.
Similarly, the number of occurrences of the name of the item type described above in the item message that has the name of the specified item as the subject is determined.
And fifthly, calculating the correlation between the specified article and the article type according to the article type vector, the specified article occurrence frequency and the article type occurrence frequency.
These vectors and parameters are substituted into a correlation formula to yield a correlation value that specifies the item and the item type.
And step 204, determining and outputting the reference article information of the reference article belonging to the article type according to the confidence coefficient and the correlation.
Here, the confidence and the correlation are obtained based on the same article type, that is, the reference article information is determined by the confidence obtained by specifying the article and the article type a and the correlation obtained by specifying the article and the article type a.
In some optional implementations of this embodiment, the determining and outputting the reference item information of the reference item belonging to the item type according to the confidence and the correlation may include:
first, a probability that the designated item becomes a reference item of the item type is calculated based on the confidence level and the correlation.
The probability that the designated item becomes the benchmark item for the item type is determined by the product of the confidence and the correlation.
And secondly, selecting the designated articles corresponding to the set probabilities as reference articles of the article types according to the descending order, and outputting the reference article information of the reference articles.
In the case of a representative article in the article type in the reference article, a designated article corresponding to several values having the highest probability is usually selected as the reference article for the article type, and the reference article information of the reference article can be output.
With continued reference to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of the information output method according to the present embodiment. In the scenario of fig. 3, the acquired item name set includes: purifiers, filters, descalers, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, fans, radiators and heaters. The classification of each item name in the existing market corresponds to: the method comprises the following steps of obtaining an article type set by a hygiene type, a screening type, a decontamination type, a dampness clearing type, a temperature control type, a cooling type, a heat dissipation type and a heating type. By comparing the type similarity, the semantic similarity and the text similarity of two article types in the article type set, whether the two article types can be aggregated is judged, specifically:
(1) similarity of type
When calculating the type similarity, a reference article vector needs to be constructed by a reference article of the article type, and then an article type vector of the article type is constructed:
vec(type)={T1,T2,…Ti…Tn}
wherein, the type is an article type; vec (type) is an item type vector; t isiIs a reference item vector; i is the number of reference articles, i is a natural number; i is 1,2, … n.
The formula for calculating the type similarity is as follows:
rel(typej,typek)=α1×cos(vec(typej),vec(typek))+α2×include(vec(typej),vec(typek))
wherein, typejIs the jth item type; typekIs the kth item type; rel (type)j,typek) Is typejAnd typekType similarity of (2); vec (type)j) An item type vector for a jth item type; vec (type)k) An item type vector for a kth item type; cos (vec (type)j),vec(typek) Vec (type)j) And vec (type)k) Cosine similarity of (d); include (vec (type)j),vec(typek) Vec (type)j) And vec (type)k) Contains a relationship value, typejAnd typekWhen the reference article(s) of (2) has an inclusion relationship, include (vec)j),vec(typek) 1, otherwise, include (type)j),vec(typek))=0;α1And alpha2Are respectively a first weight and a second weight, alpha1+α2=1。
(2) Semantic similarity
When calculating the semantic similarity, it is necessary to obtain the item messages within a period of time (for example, within one month), then determine the number of the item messages that are subject to two item types at the same time to obtain the simultaneous occurrence number, and obtain the first occurrence number and the second occurrence number respectively from the number of the item messages that are subject to two item types, and use the ratio of the simultaneous occurrence number to the product of the first occurrence number and the second occurrence number as the semantic similarity.
(3) Text similarity
Determining the same quantity of characters and different quantities of characters of the type names of the two article types, and taking the ratio of the same quantity of characters to the different quantities of characters as the text similarity.
Aggregating the sanitation type, the screening type and the decontamination type into a purification type according to the analysis of the type similarity, the semantic similarity and the text similarity; the damp-clearing type cannot be clustered with other types; the temperature control type and the cooling type are aggregated into a temperature control type; the heat dissipation type and the heating type are aggregated into a heat conduction type, so that the clustering of the article types is completed.
Confidence and relevance between the specified item and the item type are then calculated, the specified item comprising: purifier, perfumed soap, washing powder, detergent, hygienic ball, humidifier, dehumidifier, dryer, heater, thermos, electric heating fan, electric blanket, refrigerator, freezer, heating pipe, heater, radiator, heat conducting strip, essential balm, etc. Calculating the confidence coefficient and the correlation of the specified article and the article type to obtain the reference article under each article type as follows: the benchmark items under decontamination type include: purifiers, soap, detergent; reference items under the damp-repellent type include: a dehumidifier and dryer; the reference article in the temperature control type includes a heater and a refrigerator; the reference article in the heat conduction type includes a heat sink and a heater, i.e., reference article information of the reference article is determined.
