Release Summary - October 2020

Recommend

Visual AI models have been added to the model options page and to Configurable Strategies. The models include a similar items model which identifies products that are similar to the one being viewed, and a complete the look model, which identifies good cross-sell products for the product being viewed. You can create strategies to play products from these models using Configurable Strategies. The models are trained for fashion and furniture retail verticals. Contact RichRelevance if you would like to use these models. 

The Attribute Top Sellers model has been added to the model options page to enable you to identify the attributes to be used for the model. You can specify the attributes using the Edit Options link. The next time the model builds it will use the attributes specified, allowing you to use those attributes for narrowing the Top Sellers to the products that you want to display in a placement. For example, you might create a strategy using Configurable Strategies that is seeded with the attribute "gender" and specify the value "women." In this case you will see the top selling products where the attribute gender is set to women.

Additionally, support has been added to Configurable Strategies to select a DSW strategy that is a site wide strategy. In this case, you would not set a seed option since it is site wide, but you could add User Affinity as an option to re-rank the products by the user's affinities. 

Find

The Search Term Expansions page has been updated with multiple productivity enhancements:

• When you edit an entry and save it,  you will now return to the page you were on before opening the page
• You can filter on "enabled in production" or "not enabled in production”
• You can make the default for each synonym "enable in production”
• Bulk changes can be applied to turn on "enable in production" or turn off "enable in production"

Spellcheck options to sort by hits or to use "did you mean" have been added as parameters for Find. In addition, Autocomplete has been updated with additional options and support for regions.

Analytics

The Site Analytics table has been updated to reflect the options selected for the dimensions. For example, if you want to just see the metrics for each Channel in the report you would deselect the aggregate option for Channel and the detail report will only include the Channel.
