Abstract: An online concierge system uses a cumulative incrementality score to evaluate the performance of incrementality models used by the online concierge system to identify users for treatment. The online concierge system applies an incrementality model to a set of examples to generate predicted incrementality scores for the examples. The online concierge system ranks the examples based on the predicted incrementality scores for the examples and groups the examples based on their rankings. The online concierge system iteratively computes cumulative incrementality scores for each grouping based on the examples of each grouping, and computes a final cumulative incrementality score for the incrementality model based on each of the cumulative incrementality scores.

Abstract: A system for use with a handheld electronic device for coordinating retrieval of diagnostic information from a vehicle includes computer readable instructions downloadable onto the handheld electronic device for configuring the handheld electronic device to receive a request signal from a scheduling server. The request signal includes vehicle information of a third-party vehicle for which retrieval of diagnostic information has been requested. The computer readable instructions further configure the handheld electronic device to display information related to the received request signal on the handheld electronic device and receive user input representative of the user agreeing to retrieve the diagnostic information from the third-party vehicle. The computer readable instructions additionally configure the handheld electronic device to send an accept signal to the scheduling server in response to receipt of the user input.

Abstract: Methods of allowing a customer to access information related to an order of a commodity include gathering inspection information from a commodity lot, collecting grower, field, and packing information associated with the commodity lot, recording purchase orders associated with the commodity lot, assigning a trace code to each of the purchase orders, entering the inspection information; the grower, field, and packing information; the purchase orders; and the trace codes into a database maintained through online accounts. Many members of a supply chain are entitled to accounts that are linked, each account being given limited access to other accounts, thereby allowing the customer to access the inspection information, and the grower, field, and packing information, by entering one of the trace codes into the web-based application. According to one exemplary embodiment, each of the purchase orders associated with the commodity lot is linked within the web-based application.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for Computer-Aided Design (CAD) system add-ins configured to receive a CAD file of an assembly drawing, analyze the CAD file to extract part components located within the assembly drawing and add the extracted part components to a part component list of the assembly drawing. The system subsequently filters, based on a set of vendors sourcing the extracted part components, the part component list to identify specific vendors sourcing one or more of the part components or equivalent part components and determines availability of the part components for each of the identified specific vendors. The system subsequently generates, based on the availability of the part components, vendor-specific part component lists for each vendor with the availability, converts the vendor-specific part component lists to purchase orders and communicates the purchase orders to a corresponding one of the vendors.

Abstract: A system and method for connecting hair and beauty consumers directly with individual service providers, and more particularly to an automated system and method for allowing consumers and individual service providers to directly interact via a plurality of online mobile platforms. The system comprises a mobile computing device configured to receive user input data from a user at the mobile computing device, receive third-party data from individual service providers at the mobile computing device, and create a list of available individual services providers that meet a set of selected requirements of a user at the mobile computing device, wherein the list of available services is based at least in part on the user input data and the third-party data.

Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for location-based data tracking for dynamic data presentation on mobile devices. A user's device may be used to track user data for the user, including locations visited by the user and activities by the user at the locations. These may be correlated to likely behavior by the user at the location so that a predicted activity by the user at a location may be determined. Thus, when a user visits a location, the predicted activity of the user at the location may be determined. Using the predicted activity, application data for an application may be generated and may be dynamically presented through one or more interfaces of the user's device. This may be presented without user input at the location so that the user may quickly perform the activity through the user's device.

Abstract: Items within an index may be converted from classic geometry and embedded into a hyperbolic space. The hyperboloids within the hyperbolic space provide higher precision classifications of items within the index relative to their hierarchical structure. A received search query may also be converted to hyperbolic space and mapped as a query hyperboloid against an answer space that includes hyperboloids for items within the index. Distances or overlaps between the hyperboloids may be determined in order to generate a set of search results.

Abstract: A merchant can use an e-commerce platform to sell products to customers, and customers can use the e-commerce platform to return items that they are unsatisfied with back to the merchant. These product returns have an associated cost. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to computer-implemented systems and methods to enable customer-to-customer product returns in an e-commerce platform. In a customer-to-customer return, a first customer that wants to return an item of a particular product is connected with a second customer that wants to purchase that product. The e-commerce platform then facilitates a shipment of the item from the first customer directly to the second customer. Embodiments of the present disclosure include online store implementations of customer-to-customer returns, online marketplace implementations of customer-to-customer returns, and customer-to-customer returns implemented using orders for returned items.

Abstract: An online concierge system maintains a graph of items available for purchase. The graph maintains edges between items, where an edge between an item and an additional item indicates that one or more customers have previously replaced the item with the additional item. The edge between the item and the additional item also identifies a number of times customers have replaced the item with the additional item. When a customer orders an item, the online concierge system traverses the graph of items to identify candidate replacement items for the ordered item and identifies one or more of the candidate replacement items to the customer. When identifying the candidate replacement items, the online concierge system accounts for distance between the ordered item and different candidate replacement items in the item graph.
