Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for probabilistic search biasing and recommendations. A system including at least one processor may be configured to receive an input relating to an identified item, generate a database query based on the input, and receive a response to the database query. The response may include information on comparable items similar to the identified item, and corresponding metadata for the comparable items. The corresponding metadata may include a range of values corresponding to the comparable items. The system may be further configured to generate a probability score for at least two values of the range of values, based at least on the corresponding metadata for the comparable items. The system may be further configured to output at least a suggested value based on at least the generated probability score for the range of values and prompt for further input.

Probabilistic search biasing and recommendations

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for probabilistic item matching and searching. A system including at least one processor may be configured to receive a data point relating to a specific item, generate a database query based on the data point, and receive a response to the database query. The response may include multiple candidate items relating to the specific item. The system may be further configured to receive a first input relating to the specific item and generate a probability score for at least two candidate items of the multiple candidate items in the response, based on at least the second input. The system may be further configured to select a selected item from the candidate items, based on the probability score for the selected item. The system may be further configured to output a reference to, or value representing, the selected item.
