Abstract

A computer-implemented method for recommending items for future purchase by a consumer based on the consumer's historical actions is provided. The method is implemented using an adaptive recommendation (“AR”) computer device in communication with a memory. The method includes receiving from a recommender server computing device at least one preference vector, storing the at least one preference vector, receiving at least one consumer action including a time aspect, from a candidate consumer, and determining at least one personalized vector based on the at least one preference vector, the at least one consumer action, and the time aspect associated with each of the at least one consumer action. The at least one personalized vector represents at least one future purchase that the candidate consumer will likely conduct. The method also includes displaying at least one recommendation to the candidate consumer based on the at least one personalized vector.
