Abstract: An online concierge system maintains a graph of items available for purchase. The graph maintains edges between items, where an edge between an item and an additional item indicates that one or more customers have previously replaced the item with the additional item. The edge between the item and the additional item also identifies a number of times customers have replaced the item with the additional item. When a customer orders an item, the online concierge system traverses the graph of items to identify candidate replacement items for the ordered item and identifies one or more of the candidate replacement items to the customer. When identifying the candidate replacement items, the online concierge system accounts for distance between the ordered item and different candidate replacement items in the item graph.

Abstract: A method for tag-based search includes capturing an image, extracting a tag from the image, identifying a location associated with the captured image, and querying stored content for information that matches the location and the tag. Local storage is checked for the information first, and remote storage may be checked subsequently. Any located information may be used to augment the image. Information located in the remote storage may be saved in the local storage until it reaches a certain age, until it fails to be accessed for a threshold period of time, or until the location moves outside a threshold radius associated with a location of the information located in the remote storage.

Abstract: An online concierge system receives an order from a customer. The online concierge system transmits a notification to the customer's client device indicating that the order is ready for pick up and receives location data from the customer's client device as the customer travels to a pickup location. In response to the online concierge system receiving a first indication that the customer has entered an outer geofence, the online concierge system transmits a second notification to a runner's client device that the customer is in transit. In response to the online concierge system receiving a second indication that the customer has entered an inner geofence, the online concierge system starts a timer. When the online system receives a confirmation that the order has been picked up by the customer, it stops the timer and computes a wait time for pick up of the order.

Abstract: An online concierge system may determine recommended search terms for a user. The online concierge system may receive a request from a user to view a user interface configured to receive a search query. The online concierge system retrieves long-term activity data including previous search terms entered by the user while searching for items to add to an online shopping cart. For each previous search term, the online concierge system retrieves categorical search terms corresponding to one or more categories to which the previous search term was mapped. The online concierge system determines a set of nearby categorical search terms and sends, for display via a client device, the set of nearby categorical search terms as recommended search terms.

Abstract: An online concierge system allows a customer to search items offered by a retailer by providing a set of items to the customer based on a search query. To account for varying availability of items at the retailer, the online concierge system modifies rankings in the set of items having less than a threshold predicted availability at the retailer. This reduces a likelihood selection of an item likely to be unavailable at the retailer. To maintain customer confidence in the items selected based on the search results by maintaining visibility of items relevant to the search query, the online concierge system determines how much an item is modified within the set based on search query attributes, item attributes, or customer characteristics. This allows different items to be adjusted different amounts in a set based on the item, as well as the search query for which the item was selected.

Abstract: An online system manages presentation of content items in various presentation contexts such as when the users are browsing pages or when the users have entered a search query. The online system trains a single unified machine learning model that predicts one or more likelihoods of a target event associated with presentation of a content item in the different presentation contexts. The learned model is applied to a set of candidate content items associated with a presentation opportunity in a specific context. Features that are inapplicable to the specific context may be masked when applying the model. The online system may select between the candidate content items based on the predicted likelihoods using the model trained across the multiple different contexts, such that the prediction for one context may be based in part on learned outcomes in other related contexts.

Abstract: An online system provides a platform for users to place orders at different physical retailers. When a user moves from one location to another (e.g., the user physically moves or is traveling), where the user's preferred retailer is not available, the online system suggests a new retailer for the user and optionally items to purchase at the new retailer. When a user accesses the online system from a new location, the system obtains the user's previous purchases and computes a repurchase probability. The system then ranks candidate new retailers in the new location based on their match to the likely repurchased items. To suggest new items to buy at the new retailer, the system uses existing replacement models to suggest replacements for the items that the user is likely to buy based on previous purchases.

Abstract: An online system evaluates different item assortments for a physical warehouse having limited capacity to stock items. Each item assortment is stocked at the physical warehouse in proportion to an assortment split weight. The items at the warehouse are available for users to order, for example to be gathered by a picker and physically delivered to users near the warehouse. Rather than display all items actually stocked at the physical warehouse to all users, the different item assortments are displayed to different users. Users may order items from the assigned item assortment and, because both item assortments are actually stocked at the physical warehouse, orders from either item assortment may be successfully fulfilled for delivery. The different user interfaces thus permit evaluation of the preferred item assortment by users while maintaining expected delivery capability and while using the same storage capacity of the physical warehouse.

Abstract: An online concierge system presents items to a user in one or more interfaces and maintains various attributes for each item. To optimize information about items in an interface, when the online concierge system receives a request for an interface, the online concierge system determines a context for the interface and a set of items to display in the interface from the request. For an item displayed by the interface, the online concierge system applies a trained attribute selection to each combination of the item, an attribute of the item, and the context for the interface to determine an information gain to the user from displaying the attribute of the item along with the item in the interface with the context. Based on the information gains, the online concierge system selects an attribute to display in the interface in conjunction with the item.

Abstract: An online concierge system determines whether a user's appeasement request is fraudulent. The online concierge system compares the user's appeasement request rate to the appeasement request rates of similar users in a user segment identified with a user segmentation model. The online concierge system computes an appeasement model that represents the appeasement request rates of the users in the user segment. The online concierge system computes an outlier score for the user based on the appeasement model. The online concierge system compares the outlier score to a threshold. If the outlier score exceeds the threshold, the online concierge system may determine that the appeasement request is not likely fraudulent and thus applies an appeasement action to the user. If the outlier score does not exceed the threshold, the online concierge system may determine that the appeasement request is likely fraudulent and thus applies a security action to the user.
