Abstract
A method for exploring similar items can include receiving a request to explore items similar to an item identified by a user and retrieving a set of similar items to output for display to the user. The similar items can be similar to the identified item, and the set of similar items can include one or more attribute values for each similar item. In addition, in response to receiving a selection of one or more of the attribute values by the user, the method can further include retrieving similar items corresponding to the user-selected attribute values. Moreover, the method can include outputting at least a subset of the similar items for display.
