    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for learning item types of items listed in an electronic repository, and for training a machine learning model to predict the item type of a given input item. For example, a machine learning model may be obtained or accessed that has been previously trained to classify an input item to a browse node. Vector representations of individual items assigned to different browse nodes may be obtained from an intermediate layer of the previously trained machine learning model, and a vector representation of individual browse nodes may then be generated based on the vector representations of individual items assigned to that browse node. A clustering algorithm may be applied to the browse node vector representations in order to identify clusters of similar browse nodes, where individual clusters may represent different unique item types.

    Abstract: Sensors in a facility generate sensor data associated with a region of the facility, which can be used to determine a 3D location of an object in the facility. Some sensors may sense overlapping regions of the facility. For example, a first sensor may generate data associated with a first region of the facility, while a second sensor may generate data associated with a second region of the facility that partially overlaps the first region. Sensors may fail at times as determined from sensor output data or status data. In response to identifying a failed sensor, an undetected region corresponding to the failed sensor is identified, as well as a substitute sensor that partially senses the undetected region. Sensor data from the substitute sensor, such as 2D data, is acquired and used to estimate a 3D location of an object in the undetected region.
