Abstract
Described are techniques for automatically generating tables or other types of output for comparing attributes of similar items. For each attribute of a particular item, a system may determine whether that attribute is generic to most items or specific to an item or category, whether data for that attribute is available for a sufficient number of items, and whether the value of that attribute differs among a sufficient number of items to facilitate a useful comparison. Responsive to user input, item data and one or more tables or other types of output may be provided to a user device. User input interacting with a table(s) or other output may be used to modify the stored table or output or to navigate to other tables, outputs, or item data.
