Systems and methods for multi-dimensional query statement modification are described. A system presents a user interface including a first plurality of graphical elements representing a plurality of activity dimensions to a user. The system detects a user selection of a first activity dimension and a second user selection of a first attribute of the first activity dimension without a selection of the second attribute. The system searches objects using a search query based on the first activity… Show more

Systems and methods for multi-dimensional query statement modification are described. A system presents a user interface including a first plurality of graphical elements representing a plurality of activity dimensions to a user. The system detects a user selection of a first activity dimension and a second user selection of a first attribute of the first activity dimension without a selection of the second attribute. The system searches objects using a search query based on the first activity dimension and the first attribute to return search results including a first object published on a network-based publication system by a client. The system provides a notification message to the user responsive to identifying feedback information that is received from a trading partner of the client as transgressing a first threshold. The feedback information is identified based on the first object and the second attribute that is not selected from the user interface. Show less

A user query for items is received in a first language and translated from the first language to a second language. A result set in the second language that meets the query is obtained and is translated into the first language for presentation to the user. User feedback is used to build an ontology for optimizing the translation from the first language to the second language based on query context and the feedback. Query context may include information determined by learning semantic… Show more

A user query for items is received in a first language and translated from the first language to a second language. A result set in the second language that meets the query is obtained and is translated into the first language for presentation to the user. User feedback is used to build an ontology for optimizing the translation from the first language to the second language based on query context and the feedback. Query context may include information determined by learning semantic relationships between keywords in the query. Optimizing may include building an ontology used by a machine translator to translate key words from the first language to the second language. The number of items in the result set are measured or information is abstracted from the feedback and correlated to ontological information of the result set. The system adapts to changes in meanings in the first language over time. Show less

Techniques for controlling visibility settings of data entities (for example but not limited to item listings, items, products and services, stock keeping units (SKUs) reviews, collections, lists, adverts, etc.) on a networked commerce system are described. According to various embodiments, a seller specification of an item is received, via a user interface, in connection with a request to post item information on a networked commerce system. Entity visibility compliance rules regarding the online sale of items in one or more regions are then accessed. Thereafter, the item specified by the seller is determined to be subject to a particular entity visibility compliance rule in a particular region. An entity visibility setting may then be adjusted for that item information throughout the networked commerce system in that particular region, based on the particular entity visibility compliance rule.
