The computing device then determines a model variant from a plurality of variants for each item based on a requested variant in the search request.

Techniques for mapping item listings from a first taxonomy to a second taxonomy are described. In an example embodiment, item listings from a first database storing a first taxonomy and item listings from a second database storing a second taxonomy are obtained. Then, for each of the obtained item listings, a plurality of features is extracted, including at least one feature related to an image associated with the item listing and at least one feature related to text associated with the item listing. Then a mapping between item listings in the first taxonomy and item listings in the second taxonomy is created based on the plurality of features extracted by the feature extraction component, wherein the mapping identifies which item listings in the first taxonomy correlate to a same product as which item listings in the second taxonomy.
