Abstract: For each retailer location associated with multiple retailers, an online system associated with the retailers receives video data captured within the retailer location by a camera of a client device associated with an online system user. The online system detects, based at least in part on the video data, a location associated with the user within the retailer location and/or an interaction by the user with an item included among an inventory of the retailer location. The online system generates a set of signals associated with the user based at least in part on the detection of the location and/or the interaction. Based at least in part on the set of signals, the online system determines a set of preferences associated with the user, trains a machine learning model to predict a metric associated with the user, and/or sends content for display to a client device associated with the user.

Abstract: An inventory interaction model predicts user interactions with items to be included in an item assortment in a warehouse. The item is described with features that include the co-located items and the respective user interactions, so that the item interactions for the evaluated item incorporate item-item effects in its predictions. To train the model effectively in the absence of prior interaction data for an item, training examples are generated from existing item and user interaction data of co-located items by selecting a portion of the items for the examples and including co-located item data, labeling the training example output with item interactions for the item. The trained model is then applied for an item assortment by describing co-located item features of the item assortment in evaluating candidate items.

Abstract: An online system receives a request from a user to access an ordering interface for a retailer and identifies a retailer location based on the user's location. The system uses a machine learning model to predict availabilities of items at the retailer location and identifies anchor items the user previously ordered from the retailer that are likely available. The system computes a first score for each anchor item based on an expected value associated with it and/or a likelihood the user will re-order it, determines categories associated with the anchor items, and ranks the categories based on the first score. For each category, the system identifies associated candidate items likely to be available and ranks them based on a second score for each candidate item computed based on a probability of user satisfaction with it as an anchor item replacement. The ordering interface is then generated based on the rankings.

Abstract: An online concierge system receives, from a client device associated with a user of the online concierge system, order data associated with an order placed with the online concierge system, in which the order data describes a delivery location for the order. The online concierge system receives information describing a set of attributes associated with the delivery location and accesses a machine learning model trained to predict a difference between an arrival time and a delivery time for the delivery location. The online concierge system applies the model to the set of attributes associated with the delivery location to predict the difference between the arrival time and the delivery time for the delivery location and determines an estimated delivery time for the order based at least in part on the predicted difference. The online concierge system sends the estimated delivery time for the order for display to the client device.

Abstract: A reinforcement learning model selects a content composition based, in part, on inter-session rewards. In addition to near-in-time rewards of user interactions with a content composition for evaluating possible actions, the reinforcement learning model also generates a reward and/or penalty based on between-session information, such as the time between sessions. This permits the reinforcement learning model to learn to evaluate content compositions not only on the immediate user response, but also on the effect of future user engagement. To determine a composition for a search query, the reinforcement learning model generates a state representation of the user and search query and evaluates candidate content compositions based on learned parameters of the reinforcement learning model that evaluates inter-session rewards of the content compositions.

Abstract: An online system adjusts a guardrail setting used by a user treatment engine based on conditions faced by the online system. The online system simulates the performance of the user treatment engine using different candidate guardrail settings and computes a score for each of the guardrail settings based on the performance of the user treatment engine using each of the guardrail settings. The online system selects a new guardrail setting for the user treatment engine based on the performance scores for the candidate guardrail settings. Furthermore, the online system generates simulated training examples to initially train a user treatment engine. The online system uses a treatment performance model to simulate the effect of treatments applied to users and generates simulated training examples based on the predicted effect of the treatments. The online system retrains the user treatment engine on real training examples that are generated based on actual treatments.

Abstract: An online concierge system delivers items from multiple retailers to customers. To avoid delivery of expired or near-expired items, the online concierge system obtains attributes of items offered by a retailer, such as from images of items at the retailer from client devices and uses a trained desirability model to predict a desirability score of an item based on the item's attributes. The desirability model is trained using training examples with labels indicating whether an item was suitable for inclusion in an order. The desirability model may be used to determine if an item is suitable for inclusion in an order, to provide suggestions for a retailer for using the item, or to select a retailer for fulfilling an order.

Abstract: A specific item is identified to suggest a replacement therefor to a user. A set of candidate replacement items for the specific item is determined. For at least one of the candidate replacement items, an expiration score is determined based on expiration information associated with the item. A replacement score for the candidate replacement item is determined by inputting the determined expiration score as a feature into a machine learning model that is trained using features of historical samples of candidate replacement items suggested as a replacement to users and the replacement suggestion being accepted by the users. One or more of the candidate replacement items is selected based on respective replacement scores as one or more suggested replacement items. A graphical user interface of a client device of the user is caused to display the one or more suggested replacement items as the replacement for the specific item.

Abstract: An online concierge system schedules pickers (shoppers) to fulfill orders from users. During periods of peak demand, the system increases compensation to shoppers to encourage more to participate, thereby reducing missed orders. The system determines an optimal multiplier to increase compensation based on predictive models of supply and demand and then applying an optimization algorithm to search different hyperparameters that affect how the models generate the multipliers. The system selects the optimal multipliers for different time periods and locations. The system may further present the multipliers being offered during future time periods and enable users to activate reminder alerts for select periods. The offers may be presented in a ranked list using a model trained to infer likelihoods of the user accepting participation and/or setting a reminder notification.
