  • Publication number: 20250225456
    Abstract: An online concierge shopping system fulfills orders using workers who pick items at a warehouse to complete an order and workers to deliver the orders to a customer's location. To optimize the staffing of workers for each task, the system uses a trained model to predict the number of workers needed to achieve an optimal outcome based on an input set of contextual information. The system also schedules specific workers to various shifts using the predicted number of workers needed and then searching a feasibility space for an optimal solution. The trained model may be updated based on performance observations.

  • Publication number: 20250191051
    Abstract: An online system includes an interface which facilitates communication between customers and pickers who are servicing the user's order. The customer may request a modification to their order through the interface. The online system performs an inference task in conjunction with the model serving system or the interface system to continuously monitor conversations between users and pickers to infer whether a customer requested to modify their order to maintain an updated order and an updated in-store transaction estimate for the order. The online system determines if the order has been updated to account for the requested changes. If the order has not been updated, the online system automatically updates the customer's order and computes an updated in-store transaction estimate based on the changes made.

  • Publication number: 20250147954
    Abstract: An online system receives information describing a set of items requested by a user and an indication via a chat interface that a particular item needs replacement. The online system generates one or more prompts configured to request a machine learned language model to identify the particular item that needs replacement and to identify one or more replacement items for the particular item. The online system receives a set of item identifiers from the machine learned language model and selects a replacement item from a database based on the set of item identifiers. The online system may also receive an order and a communication history associated with a user including a message with a request to modify the a. The online uses the machine-learning language model to map the request type to the set of API requests for updating the order to reflect the request from the user.

  • Patent number: 12292297
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing recommendations of safe driving routes that are tailored to the driving habits of particular drivers. A machine learning model (e.g., an artificial neural network) may be trained using data indicative of insurance claim severity, road conditions, and/or vehicle telematics data associated with vehicle-related incidents, such as vehicle collisions. The machine learning model may be trained to identify road types and conditions that are predictive of claim frequency and severity. Any given driving route(s) may be provided to the trained machine learning model, and a risk value may be computed for the route(s). By further applying a personalized driver profile to the calculations of risk, personalized risk values may be computed for the route(s), and a safest route may be recommended to a driver.

  • Publication number: 20250124238
    Abstract: An online system generates text-based representations of various types of data for processing using a large language model. The online system extracts location data from a map of a source location and converts the location data into a text-based representation of the location data. The online system receives a set of item identifiers from a client device of a user and generates an LLM prompt based on the set of item identifiers and the text-based representations of the location data. The online system receives a response from the LLM and parses the response for a text-based description of related items. The online system maps the text-based description of the related items to item identifiers and transmits a notification to the client device that includes item data associated with the related items.

  • Publication number: 20250124485
    Abstract: An online system receives orders from users and dispatches pickers to fulfill the orders by obtaining ordered items at a retailer. If an ordered item cannot be found by a picker, the picker may refund the item or attempt to find a replacement item. While obtaining a replacement item may increase revenue to the online system, it can also cause a bad outcome for user experience (e.g., an unacceptable replacement item, a refund request of the replacement item, etc.). To balance these interests, the online system trains a model to predict an outcome metric comprising a likelihood of a bad outcome from replacing an item or an expected amount of profit to the online system from a replacement item. The online system compares the outcome metric to a threshold to determine whether to promote or dissuade the picker from replacing a not-found item.

  • Publication number: 20250124486
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to automatic determination of an alternative item for an item of original set of items included into an order of a user of an online system. The online system accesses a first computer model trained to identify a set of candidate replacement items for the item and selects a subset of the candidate replacement items from the identified set based on a constraint that each candidate replacement item in the subset has a smaller monetary value than the item. The online system accesses a second computer model trained to select a candidate replacement item from the subset based on a predicted likelihood of conversion by the user for each candidate replacement item. The online system causes a device of the user to display a user interface with the selected candidate replacement item for inclusion into the order instead of the item from the original set of items.
