Abstract
A method identifies a plurality of product categories by applying a categorization model to product data that includes product names and product descriptions. The product data is obtained from internal sources and external sources. The method creates a knowledge graph for a plurality of business entities from inputs that include the plurality of product categories, published data that includes merchant categorizations, and geographical data. The method generates cohort clusters of similar business entities by applying a clustering algorithm to the knowledge graph. The method uses the cohort clusters to learn an extrapolation model for predicting inventory. The method makes a prediction as to the inventory level using the extrapolation model for a user of the merchant application. The method determines a confidence level for the user and orders additional inventory for the user without further input, if the confidence level is above a specified threshold.
