Abstract: An online concierge system uses a machine learning click through rate model to select promoted items based on user embeddings, item embeddings, and search query embeddings. Embeddings obtained by an embedding model may be used as inputs to the click through rate model. The embedding model may be trained using different actions to score the strength of a customer interaction with an item. For example, a customer purchasing an item may be a stronger signal than a customer placing an item in a shopping cart, which in turn may be a stronger signal than a customer clicking on an item. The online concierge system generates a ranking of candidate promoted items based on the search query and using the click through rate model. Based on the ranking, the online concierge system displays promoted items along with the organic search results to the customer.

Abstract: A receipt capture device can collect transaction information from transactions conducted at a point of sale system by capturing receipt data transmitted from the point of sale system for the purpose of printing receipts at an external receipt printer. The receipt capture device can then send the collected receipt data to an online system for analysis. At the online system, received receipt data can be decoded from the printer-readable format it is transmitted in and used to enhance the online system's understanding of transactions occurring at a retailer associated with the point of sale system. For example, the online system can determine an approximate inventory of items available at purchase at the retailer by aggregating items recently purchased in transactions at the point of sale system.

Abstract: An online concierge system trains a machine learning conversion model that predicts a probability of receiving an order from a user when the user accesses the online concierge system. The conversion model predicts the probability of receiving the order based on a set of input features that include price and availability information. For each access to the online concierge system, the online concierge system applies the conversion model to a current price and availability and to an optimal price availability. The online concierge system generates a metric as the difference between the two predicted probabilities of receiving an order.

Abstract: A method for predicting inventory availability, involving receiving a delivery order including a plurality of items and a delivery location, and identifying a warehouse for picking the plurality of items. The method retrieves a machine-learned model that predicts a probability that an item is available at the warehouse. The machine-learned model is trained, using machine learning, based in part on a plurality of datasets. The plurality of datasets include data describing items included in previous delivery orders, whether each item in each previous delivery order was picked, a warehouse associated with each previous delivery order, and a plurality of characteristics associated with each of the items. The method predicts the probability that one of the plurality of items in the delivery order is available at the warehouse, and generates an instruction to a picker based on the probability. An instruction is transmitted to a mobile device of the picker.

Abstract: An online concierge system displays an interface to a user identifying an estimated time of arrival for an order. To generate the estimated time of arrival for the order, the online concierge system trains a prediction engine to predict delivery time based on a predicted selection time for a shopper to select the order for fulfillment and predicted travel time for the shopper to deliver items of the order to a location identified by the order. The online concierge system generates a policy optimization model that computes an adjustment for the predicted delivery time. The adjustment is determined by solving a stochastic optimization problem with a constraint on a probability of the order being delivered after the estimated time of arrival. The predicted delivery time combined with the adjustment determines the estimated time of delivery displayed to the user to balance between minimizing late deliveries and wait times.

Abstract: An online concierge system receives orders from users and assigns orders to shoppers for fulfillment. Each order specifies a destination location and a warehouse from which items in the order are obtained. When assigning orders to shoppers, the online concierge system seeks to minimize distances traveled by shoppers fulfilling orders. To more efficiently assign orders to shoppers, the online concierge system trains a distance prediction model to predict a distance traveled between a starting location and a destination location from the starting location, the destination location, and a Haversine distance between the destination location and the starting location. Information identifying distances traveled by shoppers when fulfilling previous orders or information about distances between locations from a third party system may be used to train the distance prediction model.

Abstract: A method for targeted advertisement includes transmitting a pre-filter to the user device, responsive to contextual information from a user device, to determine, using a processor, one or more inferences based on physical browsing information, collected at the user device, in compliance with one or more privacy policies of the user. The method also includes receiving one or more inferences determined by the pre-filter from the user device and transmitting one or more targeted advertisements to the user device based on one or more inferences.

Abstract: An item recognition system uses a top camera and one or more peripheral cameras to identify items. The item recognition system may use image embeddings generated based on images captured by the cameras to generate a concatenated embedding that describes an item depicted in the image. The item recognition system may compare the concatenated embedding to reference embeddings to identify the item. Furthermore, the item recognition system may detect when items are overlapping in an image. For example, the item recognition system may apply an overlap detection model to a top image and a pixel-wise mask for the top image to detect whether an item is overlapping with another in the top image. The item recognition system notifies a user of the overlap if detected.
