Abstract: An online system provides options for selection by a user. The online system receives a query entered on a client device. The online system queries an item database to retrieve a set of items related to the query and assigns each item to a product category in a predefined taxonomy that maps items to product categories. The online system inputs each item into a prediction model trained to predict a probability that an item is available at a warehouse location. The online system determines that a first product category has low availability based on predicted probabilities for items in the first product category. Responsive to determining that a first product category has low availability, the online system generates a generic item for the first product category and sends a list of items including the generic item to the client device for display responsive to the query.

Abstract: An online concierge system generates a graph connecting items with attributes of the items and other items. Hence, the graph includes nodes corresponding to attributes and nodes corresponding to items, with an item connected to attributes of the item in the graph. Example attributes include a brand, a category, a department, or any other suitable information about the item. When the online concierge system receives a search query to identify one or more items from a customer, the online concierge system parses the search query into combinations of terms and compares different combinations of terms to the graph to determine connections between different combinations of terms in the graph. Based on measures of connectedness between combinations of terms and connections in the graph, items are identified from one or more combinations of terms. Information about the identified items is presented to the customer.
