Abstract
Browser requests are received and data included in it is added to a vector. If explicit identification information (username, cookie data, etc.) is present, the vector is associated with a pre-existing user record, which is then updated. If not, candidate user records may be identified according to correspondence with values in the vector. Candidate vectors may be eliminated by identifying inconsistency in OS, device, and browser information. Probability assigned to each candidate vector may be adjusted, e.g., reduced, in response to inconsistency in other data relating to a browser. Personalized results are generated based on collected data for a user if possible. If not possible, fallback results are provided by a front end server based on values provided in a browser request matching entries in a fallback database accessed by the front end server. Default results may be provided where the fallback database does not provide a result.
