  • Patent number: 12572860
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are described in which unstructured computer text is analyzed for extraction of actionable insights in a computing environment. A server executes a machine learning classification model on text messages exchanged between users to classify each text message according to a disposition and a theme. The server analyzes the classified messages to generate candidate work items, each associated with software applications and skills requirements. The server filters the candidate items to remove extraneous items based upon a work item backlog or a prioritization. The server determines team members to assign to each remaining candidate item by comparing the software applications and the skills requirements for the work item to a profile for each team member. The server creates a task for each remaining candidate item, the task including the assigned team members. The server generates a notification for each task for transmission to the assigned team members.

  • Patent number: 12423722
    Abstract: An online concierge system uses a model to predict a user's interaction with an item, based on a user embedding for the user and an item embedding for the item. For the model to account for more recent interactions by users with items without retraining the model, the online concierge system generates updated item embeddings and updated user embeddings that account for the recent interactions by users with items. The online concierge system compares performance of the model using the updated item embeddings and the updated user embeddings relative to performance of the model using the existing item embeddings and user embeddings. If the performance of the model decreases, the online concierge system adjusts the updated user embeddings and the updated item embeddings based on the change in performance of the model. The adjusted updated user embeddings and adjusted updated item embeddings are stored for use by the model.

  • Patent number: 12423720
    Abstract: A high-demand product processing system may include a seller device associated with a prospective seller, and a high-demand product marketplace server to store historical product data for a given product. The historical product data may include historical product prices and quantities at different times. The server may operate a web crawler to crawl e-commerce websites for current product data for the given product. The current product data may include current product prices and quantities at each of the e-commerce websites. The server may operate a machine learning algorithm to predict whether the given product will be a high-demand product based upon the historical product data and the current product data, and when so, generate an offer-to-purchase the high-demand product, communicate the offer-to-purchase to the seller device, and operate a marketplace to sell the high-demand product at a sales price higher than an offer price associated with the offer-to-purchase.
