Abstract: Technologies described reduce the amount of time between requesting content and receiving the requested content. In some embodiments, a client provides a search query. A search result page is generated and, prior to returning the search result page to the client, some or all of the search results are asynchronously pre-fetched and cached. The search query can include custom parameters that are also included in the pre-fetch requests. Web addresses in the search results page can be modified to indicate whether a prefetch operation was initiated. Once a user activates one of the search results, the responding web server uses the cached data while generating a response.

Abstract: A bundle generation engine provides recommendations for an item and at least one compatible item. Upon receiving an item listing for an item at a listing platform, the bundle generation engine determines that unstructured text of an item description for the item listing includes one or more compatible items. For example, the bundle generation engine may use a classification model to determine the unstructured text includes the one or more compatible items. Based on determining that the unstructured text includes the one or more compatible items, the bundle generation engine identifies one or more identifiers within the unstructured text of the item description. For example, the identifiers may be model identifiers or brand identifiers. In aspects, the identifiers are identified using one or more natural language processing models. A bundle recommendation is provided to a user device based on the one or more identifiers.

Abstract: A counterfeit item detection system detects counterfeit items during an item listing processes provided by an online marketplace. The system enhances the ability of the online marketplace to identify and reject potential counterfeit items. The system comprises a trained counterfeit item detection model that is configured to receive an image and identify whether the image includes a counterfeit item. The model is trained using a data set of training images. An image of the data set is taken from a video related to the time based on identifying that the context of text associated with the video relates to counterfeit items. The text can be determined from the video's audio, and the image is obtained at a time in the video where the text corresponds to a counterfeit item context.

Abstract: A method of training a machine learning model to promote an item is provided. Acceptance activity of a first entity is monitored and a determination of a first likelihood that the first entity accepts a future offer is made. The acceptance activity and the first likelihood are input as training data for the machine learning model for training purposes. An offer having an acceptance window and a characteristic is received from a second entity for a first item associated with the first entity. A second likelihood that the first entity will accept the offer is determined and an acceptance window is adjusted based on the determination. When the acceptance window closes, the method searches for a second item associated with a third entity based having the characteristic where an offer for the second item is sent to the second entity on behalf of the third entity.

Abstract: A counterfeit item detection system detects counterfeit items during an item listing processes provided by an online marketplace. The system enhances the ability of the online marketplace to identify and reject potential counterfeit items. The system collects item data in various formats. The item data is analyzed using speech-to-text software and natural language processing to determine data elements representing items, item features, and language context. Questions are generated using the items and item features, and stored for each item. Answers to the questions have associated counterfeit indication weights. The weights are modified and used to rank the questions as feedback is received about counterfeit items. The ranking determines future question selection, allowing the best questions to continually be identified and provided. The counterfeit item detection system also trains a neural network to detect counterfeit items in images, where the training images are obtained from videos related to the item.

Abstract: Different action user-interface components in a comparison view are described. Initially, a selection is received to display a comparison view via a user interface of a listing platform. Multiple listings of the listing platform are selected for inclusion in the comparison view. A comparison view system determines which action of a plurality of actions, used by the listing platform, to associate with each of the listings. A display device displays the multiple listings concurrently in a comparison view via a user interface of the listing platform and also displays an action user-interface component (e.g., a button) in each of the plurality of listings. The action user-interface component is selectable to initiate the action associated with the respective listing. In accordance with the described techniques, the action user-interface component displayed in at least two of the multiple listings is selectable to initiate different actions in relation to the respective listing.
