Welcome to Shopzilla Labs
We're always thinking of how we can better apply technology to help improve the way you shop. So, we decided
to open up zlabs and show you some of the ideas we're currently working on to see what you think. Your candid
feedback is very important to help guide our development. So please feel free to play around in here and tell
us what you think is great and where you think we can improve. Your feedback will go directly to the Zillans
responsible for developing these products, so any constructive criticism (or praise ;) is always very
appreciated.

Robozilla is a demo site showcasing some advanced technology for building a shopping search index of
highly structured product and store data with literally no human involvement. When you're looking at
over 55K stores with some 50MM products, spanning 800 or so categories and need to build your entire
index from scratch at least once a day, that's quite a task to ask machines to do with no hand-holding.
Some of the most exciting benefits can be seen in the automatically normalizing and structuring of
product and store data in more obscure areas and in soft-goods categories such as perfumes, luggage,
wine, etc., where traditional techniques involving human assisted intervention have been cost
prohibitive. The goal of this project is to perfect automated algorithms / techniques which will then
be migrated on Shopzilla's main sites for use by millions of consumers worldwide. So, please play
around on Robozilla, let us know what you think and help us build the best shopping search engine in
the world.
