    Abstract: An online concierge system facilitates a concierge service for ordering, procurement, and delivery of food items from physical retailers. The order fulfillment is based in part on automatically inferring one or more quality metrics, such as remaining shelf-life, associated with perishable food items. A picker shopping on behalf of a customer may capture images of available food items for the order using a picker client device. The images are processed through a machine learning model to infer the one or more quality metrics, and a price is then determined based in part on a dynamic pricing model. The online concierge system communicates with a customer client device to meet quality characteristics and pricing preferences set by the customer. The online concierge system may further facilitate a checkout process for the items obtained by the picker and may facilitate delivery of the items by the picker to the customer.

    Abstract: An online concierge system generates an aggregated lift score for a test feature for the online concierge system. The online concierge presents prioritized items from a set of item groups to two sets of users: a test set and a control set. The online concierge system uses the test feature to present prioritized items to users in the test set, and the online concierge system uses existing functionality to present prioritized items to users in the control set. For each test group, the online concierge system creates holdout subsets out of the test set and the control set. The online concierge system tracks user interactions with items in an item group and computes a group lift score for the item group. The online concierge system generates an aggregated lift score for the test feature based on the group lift scores and presents items to users based on the aggregated lift score.

    Abstract: An online system receives a search query from a client device associated with a user and queries a database including item data for a set of items matching the query, in which the set of items is at a retailer location associated with a retailer type and each item is associated with an item category. For each item of the set, a machine learning model is applied to predict a probability of conversion for the user and item and a score is computed based on an expected value, in which the expected value is based on a value associated with the item and the probability. The score for each item is boosted based on the item category, retailer type, or a user segment that is based on the user's historical order data. The items are ranked based on the boosted scores and the ranking is sent to the client device.

    Abstract: An item availability model produces item verification notifications, for example, by receiving data indicating a plurality of items associated with an online shopping concierge platform; determining based at least in part on the data indicating the plurality of items and one or more machine learning (ML) models, a subset of the plurality of items for which to have one or more shoppers associated with the online shopping concierge platform check current availability at one or more warehouse locations associated with the online shopping concierge platform; and generating and transmitting communications comprising at least one of dispatching, instructing, incentivizing, or encouraging the one or more shoppers to check the current availability of at least a portion of the subset of the plurality of items at the one or more warehouse locations.

    Abstract: To improve attribute prediction for items, item categories are associated with a schema that is augmented with additional attributes and/or attribute labels. Items may be organized into categories and similar categories may be related to one another, for example in a taxonomy or other organizational structure. An attribute extraction model may be trained for each category based on an initial attribute schema for the respective category and the items of that category. The extraction model trained for one category may be used to identify additional attributes and/or attribute labels for the same or another, related category.

    Abstract: An online system may receive, from a user device, a request to view, at a graphical user interface, available entries of a third-party system. The third-party system may operate multiple physical locations. The operation of each physical location is documented by a time-sensitive dataset which includes multiple dynamic item entries. The online system may retrieve a geographical location associated with the user device and determine a subset of physical locations operated by the third-party system that are eligible for further selection based on distances of the physical locations from the geographical location associated with the user device. The online system may determine a metric measuring a size of the dynamic item entries available in the time-sensitive dataset and select one of the physical locations based on the metric. The online system may cause for display the dynamic item entries in the time-sensitive dataset associated with the selected physical location.

    Abstract: An online concierge system receives information describing orders from its customers and generates a route for each order based on this information. The routes are partitioned into multiple sets of routes and multiple candidate generation processes are executed in parallel. During execution of a candidate generation process, one or more routes included in each set of routes are paired with shoppers of the system based on a set of constraints, producing multiple route-shopper pairs. A cost associated with each route-shopper pair is determined based on attributes associated with each shopper and/or information associated with each route of the pair. During an optimization process, which is executed asynchronously with the candidate generation process, one or more route-shopper pairs are selected based on pairing-cost data identifying route-shopper pairs and their associated costs. One or more requests to fulfill orders are sent to one or more shoppers based on the selected route-shopper pair(s).
