  • Patent number: 11699101
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for automatic image selection for online product catalogs. An image selection system gathers feature data for images of an item included in listings posted to an online marketplace. The image selection system uses the feature data as input in a machine learning model to determine probability scores indicating an estimated probability that each image is suitable to represent the item. The machine learning model is trained based on a set of training images of the item that have been labeled to indicate whether they are suitable to represent the image. The image selection system compares the probability scores and selects an image to represent the item as a stock image based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11361010
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for generating a set of tips for an entity are provided. For example, users may create user generated content describing an entity, such as a user review for a consumer good, a location, an event, etc. Because a user may be unable to read and digest all of the user reviews for the entity, the user may merely read a few user reviews, and thus miss out on useful information. Accordingly, tip templates, indicative of how tips are linguistically/grammatically constructed, are applied to the user reviews to automatically extract a set of tips for the entity (e.g., “make sure to bring a rain jacket”). The set of tips may be filtered to remove undesirable tips, ranked based upon usefulness, and/or diversified to remove redundant tips. In this way, a set of useful tips may be provided to the user.

  • Publication number: 20210352030
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions with and between computers in content searching, generating, hosting and/or providing systems supported by or configured with personal computing devices, servers and/or platforms. The systems interact to identify and retrieve data within or across platforms, which can be used to improve the quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosure provides a novel, computerized framework for automatically identifying and recommending socially-engaging photos to their creators for sharing. Execution of the disclosed systems and methods turns a tedious manual chore into an automated, software-driven process.
