Abstract: An automated checkout system automatically establishes sessions between users and shopping carts by correlating action events with distances of the user's client device to the shopping cart. The automated checkout system determines the client device's distance from the shopping cart at timestamps when an action event occurs with respect to the shopping cart. If the distances and the action events are correlated, the system establishes a session between the user and the shopping cart. Additionally, the automated checkout system attributes target actions to recipe suggestions. The automated checkout system displays a recipe suggestion to a user on a display of a shopping cart, and identifies an item added to the shopping cart. If the added item matches an item in the set of recipes, the automated checkout system applies an attribution model that determines whether to attribute a target action that relates to the item with the recipe suggestion.

Abstract: A user treatment engine uses user data describing characteristics of a user to evaluate a set of treatments that the user treatment engine may apply to the user. The user treatment engine generates treatment cost predictions for the treatments and generates treatment scores for the set of treatments based on the treatment cost predictions for the treatments and the user data for the user. The user treatment engine selects and applies a treatment from the set of treatments based on the generated treatment scores. The user treatment engine determines a reward to the online concierge system for the application of the treatment to the user and updates treatment selection parameters for the applied treatment based on the determined reward.

Abstract: An online concierge system requests an image of a receipt of an order from a picker after the picker fulfills the order at a store. The online concierge system performs image processing on the image of the receipt and uses machine learning and optical character recognition to determine a tax amount paid for the order and a confidence score associated with the tax amount. The online concierge system may use the machine learning model for segmenting extracted text in the image of the receipt into tokens. The online concierge system may then determine at least one token associated with a tax item and the tax amount associated with the tax item. The online concierge system communicates the tax amount to the store for reimbursement based on the tax amount and the confidence score.

Abstract: An online shopping concierge system sorts a list of items to be picked in a warehouse by receiving data identifying a warehouse and items to be picked by a picker in the warehouse. The system retrieves a machine-learned model that predicts a next item of a picking sequence of items. The model was trained, using machine-learning, based on sets of data that each include a list of picked items, an identification of a warehouse from which the items were picked, and a sequence in which the items were picked. The system identifies an item to pick first and a plurality of remaining items. The system predicts, using the model, a next item to be picked based on the remaining items, the first item, and the warehouse. The system transmits data identifying the first item and the predicted next item to be picked to the picker in the warehouse.

Abstract: An online concierge system maintains various items and an item embedding for each item. When the online concierge system receives a query for retrieving one or more items, the online concierge system generates an embedding for the query. The online concierge system trains a machine-learned model to determine a measure of relevance of an embedding for a query to item embeddings by generating training data of examples including queries and items with which users performed a specific interaction. The online concierge system generates a subset of the training data including examples satisfying one or more criteria and further trains the machine-learned model by application to the examples of the subset of the training data and stores parameters resulting from the further training as parameters of the machine-learned model.

Abstract: An online system maintains item embeddings for items. As a number of items maintained by the online system increases, maintaining a single index of the item embeddings is increasingly difficult. To increase scalability, the online system partitions item embeddings into multiple indices, with each index corresponding to a value of a specific attribute maintained by the online system for items. For example, an online system generates indices that each correspond to a different warehouse offering items. To expedite retrieval of item embeddings, the online system allocates each index to one of a number of shards. When the online system receives a query, the online system determines an embedding for the query and retrieves an index from a shard based on metadata received with the query. Based on distances between the query for the embedding and the item embeddings in the retrieved index, the online system selects one or more items.

Abstract: An online concierge system allows users to order items from a warehouse having multiple physical locations, allowing a user to order items at any given warehouse location. To select a warehouse location for a warehouse selected by a user, the online concierge system identifies a set of items that the user has a threshold likelihood of purchasing from prior orders by the user. For each of a set of warehouse locations, the online concierge system applies a machine-learned item availability model to each item of the identified set. From the availabilities of items of the set at each warehouse location of the set, the online concierge system selects a warehouse location. The online concierge system identifies an inventory of items from the selected warehouse location to the user for inclusion in an order.

Abstract: An online concierge system selects content for presentation to a user by using a product scoring engine. The product scoring engine generates a user embedding for user data and a query embedding for query data. The product scoring engine generates an anchor embedding based on the user embedding and the query embedding, where the anchor embedding is an embedding in a product embedding space. The product scoring engine compares the anchor embedding to a set of product embeddings to score a set of products for presentation to a user.

Abstract: An online concierge system uses a domain-adaptive suggestion module to score products that may be presented to a user as suggestions in response to a user’s search query. The domain-adaptive suggestion module receives data that is relevant to scoring products as suggestions in response to a search query. The domain-adaptive suggestion module uses one or more domain-neutral representation models to generate a domain-neutral representation of the received data. The domain-neutral representation is a featurized representation of the received data that can be used by machine-learning models in the search domain or the suggestion domain. The domain-adaptive suggestion module then scores products by applying one or more machine-learning models to domain-neutral representations generated based on those products. By using domain-neutral representations, the domain-adaptive suggestion module can be trained based on training examples from a similar prediction task in a different domain.

Abstract: An online concierge system receives information from a warehouse including locations of items within the warehouse. When a shopper selects an order for fulfillment from the warehouse, the online concierge system sorts the items for the shopper to minimize the time spent in the warehouse using the received information. When the online concierge system does not receive a location of an item within the warehouse, the online concierge system obtains a taxonomy for the warehouse including multiple levels, with each level having a different level of specificity. The online concierge system determines a higher level in the taxonomy for the item and identifies other items offered by the warehouse having the determined category. The online concierge system infers a location of the item within the warehouse used for sorting items of the order from locations of the other items within the warehouse and times when shoppers retrieved the other items.
