Patent attributes
Embodiments infer a temporal attribute of a recipe. A recipe is obtained that includes recipe content such as preparation steps and ingredients. A recipe server identifies attribute features in the recipe content, where the attribute features are representative of portions of the recipe content that are correlated with temporal attributes. The recipe server determines whether the recipe is associated with a temporal attribute based on the attribute features and obtained attribute parameters corresponding to the attribute features. A temporal attribute determined to be associated with a recipe is transmitted to a client device in response to a request for the recipe. The estimated temporal attribute is used to filter recipes sent in response to a request for recipes, where the request specifies a criterion based on the temporal attribute. The estimated temporal attribute is used to select recipes for recommendation to a user based on a current time.
