Abstract:
A plurality of items included in a catalog may be obtained, each item associated with an item category. Brand indicators may be obtained, each brand indicator associated with the item category. Brand indicators associated with each of the items may be determined, and the each item may be assigned to a partition group associated with the brand indicator that is associated with the each item. Correlated string tokens that are correlated, greater than a predetermined correlation threshold value, with the brand indicator associated with the partition group that is associated with the each one of the items, the correlated string tokens associated with the each one of the plurality of items, may be determined. A dictionary hierarchy may be generated based on the one or more correlated string tokens.
