Abstract: An online concierge system receives a goal and availability information for a picker, in which the availability information describes time slot-location pairs for which the picker is available. The system accesses and applies a first and a second machine learning model to predict a likelihood that an order will be available for service and an amount of earnings for servicing the order, respectively, for each time slot-location pair. The system computes an estimated amount of earnings for each time slot-location pair based on the predictions and generates suggested schedules that each includes one or more time slot-location pairs. For each suggested schedule, the system computes a total estimated amount of earnings based on the estimated amount of earnings and one or more costs. The system identifies a suggested schedule for achieving the goal based on the total estimated amount of earnings or an estimated amount of time included in the suggested schedule.

Abstract: The online concierge system generates task units based on orders and assigns batches of task units to pickers. The online concierge system generates task units based on received orders. The online concierge system generates permutations of these task units to generate candidate sets of task batches. The online concierge system scores each of these candidate sets, and selects a set of task batches to assign to pickers based on the scores. Additionally, to determine which task UI to display to the picker, the picker client device uses a UI state machine. The UI state machine is a state machine where each state corresponds to a task UI to display on the picker client device. The state transitions between the UI states of the UI state machine indicate which UI state to transition to from a current UI state based on the next task unit in the received task batch.
