In Recombee, we work hard on improving technologies for shopping cart prediction. Thanks to our customers like Bofrost, we are able to train our machine learning models on hundreds of millions of past purchases.

We have also recently partnered with NVidia to accelerate our deep learning research.

Deep autoencoders are capable of producing high quality joint image-text-interaction embeddings of user baskets (shopping carts)

Apart of our internal research team, we run joint research laboratory with Faculty of Information Technology at Czech Technical University in Prague.

Recently, we have organized a shopping cart prediction challenge for students and we were surprised how many of them actively participated and how good their submission were, given limited time and resources.

Stay tuned and we will inform you about our recent developments in this domain.
