System and method using deep learning machine vision to conduct product positioning analyses

Abstract

At least one embodiment is directed to a computer-implemented method for using machine vision to categorize a locality to conduct product positioning analyses, the method including: generating locality profile scores for each locality of a plurality of localities using deep learning networks, where the locality profile score includes distributions of entity classes within the locality; extracting a set of entities having the same entity class from a group of localities; retrieving historical purchasing data for the entity set; and generating a sequence of products likely to be purchased by a target entity as a function of: the similarity of purchasing characteristics of the target entity with respect to other entities, product sequences found in product purchase of other entities, and entity profile weights extracted from the locality profile scores of other entities that have purchased one or more of the same products as the target entity.
