Abstract
An improved user interface in which related items are grouped intuitively, and ultimately results in the number of navigational steps performed by the user to identify desired related items being reduced, is described herein. For example, instead of having a user interface display a single view that includes all related items, a recommendation system groups the related items based on their respective attribute values and produces data that results in a user interface that displays the related items in these groups. The recommendation system generates labels for these groups such that a user can clearly identify what types of related items are included therein. Thus, a user would not have to browse through a single list of related items ordered in an unfamiliar manner. Rather, a user can browse through smaller subsets of related items, and only in those groups that correspond with attribute values of interest to the user.
