Abstract: An online concierge system maintains a taxonomy associating one or more specific items offered by a warehouse with a generic item description. When the online concierge system receives a generic item description from a user for inclusion in an order, the online concierge system uses the taxonomy to select a set of items associated with the generic item description. Based on probabilities of the user purchasing various items of the set, the online concierge system selects an item of the set for inclusion in the order For example, the online concierge system selects an item of the set for which the user has a maximum probability of being purchased. Subsequently, the online concierge system displays an interface for the user that is prepopulated with information identifying the selected item of the set.

Abstract: An online concierge system enables users to create lists of items and generate a link allowing other receiving users to access a list by selecting the link. When a receiving user selects the link, the online concierge system generates a user-specific list from the original list. The user-specific list includes user-specific items selected for the receiving user that replace items in the original list based on item availability to the receiving user, receiving user preferences, and other receiving user-specific criteria. The receiving user can then view the user-specific items in the user-specific list via an interface allowing the user-specific items in the user-specific list to be included in an order in a single interaction.

Abstract: An online system may receive, from a content provider, a content presentation campaign that includes one or more objectives. The online system may define a set of one or more policy functions that automatically controls the content presentation campaign. A policy function may control one or more criteria in bidding content slots. The online system may monitor a realized outcome of the content presentation campaign. The online system may apply a reinforcement learning algorithm in adjusting the set of policy functions. The reinforcement learning algorithm adjusts one or more parameters in the set of policy functions to reduce a difference between the realized outcome and the desired outcome set by the content provider. The online system generates an adjusted set of policy functions and uses the adjusted set of policy functions in bidding content slots to present one or more content items provided by the content provider.

Abstract: An online concierge system allows a user to provide a nutritional goal and uses the nutritional goal as a constraint for selecting candidate orders to display to the user. From prior orders from the user, the online concierge system generates order templates including combinations of generic item descriptions corresponding to items previously included in orders from the user. From the order templates, the online concierge system generates candidate orders including specific items from a warehouse corresponding to the generic item descriptions. The online concierge system selects a set of the candidate orders that each include specific items with combined nutritional information satisfying the user's nutritional goal. Based on probabilities of the user purchasing different candidate orders of the set, the online concierge system selects one or more candidate orders of the set for display to the user.

Abstract: An online concierge system trains a user interaction model to predict a probability of a user performing an interaction after one or more content items are displayed to the user. This provides a measure of an effect of displaying content items to the user on the user performing one or more interactions. The user interaction model is trained from displaying content items to certain users of the online concierge system and withholding display of the content items to other users of the online concierge system. To train the user interaction model, the user interaction model is applied to labeled examples identifying a user and value based on interactions the user performed after one or more content items were displayed to the user and interactions the user performed when one or more content items were not used.

Abstract: An online system accesses user behavior data and incentive data collected for a user prior to a current time period. The online system trains a behavior prediction model to receive user behavior data for a user and an incentive and output an incentive score using the collected user behavior data. The online system receives one or more candidate incentives generated by an incentive generation model based on the accessed user behavior data and incentive data. The online system applies each candidate incentive to the behavior prediction model to generate an incentive prediction describing a degree of user interaction of the particular user with the online system responsive to offering the candidate incentive to the user. The online system offers one or more candidate incentives to the user based on the determined incentive predictions.

Abstract: An online system trains a churn prediction model to attribute a churn event to one or more causal events. The churn prediction model receives customer features and online system features as inputs. Various causal events that occur affect one or more online system features. To avoid biasing the churn prediction model using input features that are related to possible causal events, the online system determines customer features and online system features based on customer interactions occurring in different time intervals. The customer features are determined from interactions in a time interval that is earlier than a time interval from which interactions are used to determine online system features. Such time segmenting decorrelates the features input to the model from the events, reducing potential bias from the causal events on the churn prediction model.
