  • Patent number: 12363605
    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for a high priority route selection descriptor (RSD) selection timer. A protocol data unit (PDU) session may be established for an application associated with a user equipment (UE). If the PDU session is associated with a lower RSD priority than the highest RSD priority for the application, the UE may initiate an RSD selection timer. After expiration of the RSD selection timer, the UE may try to establish another PDU session for the application with the highest RSD priority for the application. If another PDU session with the highest RSD priority is accepted, the UE may release the initial PDU session with the lower RSD priority and establish a new PDU session with the highest RSD priority. Such implementations may increase data rates, quality of service, and reliability for the application, decrease latency of the application, or decrease power consumption of the UE.

  • Patent number: 12287819
    Abstract: A system may generate a prompt based in part on a search query from a customer client device. The prompt instructs a machine learned model to provide item predictions. And the model was trained by: converting structured data describing items of an online catalog to annotated text data (unstructured data), generating training examples based in part on the annotated text data, and training the model using the training examples. The system may receive item predictions generated by the prompt being applied to the machine learned model, the item predictions may have corresponding item identifiers. The item predictions are processed to identify a recommended item from the item predictions. The processing includes determining item information for the recommended item using an item identifier associated with the recommended item. The item information is provided to the customer client device.

  • Publication number: 20250022036
    Abstract: An online system selects an item to present to a user of the online system. The online system accesses user interaction data for the user. The online system transmits the user interaction data to a model serving system and receives, from the model serving system, item embeddings for the items with which the user interacted. The model serving system may use an LLM to generate the item embeddings based on the user interaction data. The online system generates a user embedding array based on the item embeddings. The online system applies a transformer network to the user embedding array to generate a user embedding describing the user. To select an item to present to the user, the online system compares the generated user embedding to item embeddings for a set of candidate items. The online system selects a candidate item based on the interaction scores.

  • Publication number: 20240330718
    Abstract: An online system generates a knowledge graph database representing relationships between entities in the online system. The online system generates the knowledge graph database by at least obtaining descriptions for an item. The online system generates one or more prompts to a machine-learned language model, where a prompt includes a request to extract a set of attributes for the item from the description of the item. The online system receives a response generated from executing the machine-learned language model on the prompts. The online system parses the response to extract the set of attributes for the item. For each extracted attribute, the online system generates connections between an item node representing the item and a set of attribute nodes for the extracted set of attributes in the database.

  • Publication number: 20240303710
    Abstract: A system, for example, an online system uses a machine learning based language model, for example, a large language model (LLM) to process crowd-sourced information provided by users. The crowd-sourced information may include comments from users represented as unstructured text. The system further receives queries from users and answers the queries based on the crowd-sourced information collected by the system. The system generates a prompt for input to a machine-learned language model based on the query. The system provides the prompt to the machine-learned language model for execution and receives a response from the machine-learned language model. The response comprises the insight on the topic and evidence for the insight. The evidence identifies one or more comments used to obtain the insight.

  • Publication number: 20240303711
    Abstract: A system, for example, an online system uses a machine learning based language model, for example, a large language model (LLM) to process high-level natural language queries received from users. The system receives a natural language query from a user of a client device. The system determines contextual information associated with the query. Based on this information, the system generates a prompt for the machine learning based language model. The system receives a response from the machine learning based language model. The system uses the response to generate a search query for a database. The system obtains results returned by the database in response to the search query and provides them to the user. The system allows users to specify high level natural language queries to obtain relevant search results, thereby improving the overall user experience.

  • Publication number: 20240289632
    Abstract: An online system trains a specific-purpose LLM. The online system obtains training examples and divides training examples across batches. The online system generates a specific response by applying parameters of the specific-purpose LLM to a batch of training examples. The online system generates a general response by applying parameters of a general-purpose LLM to the batch of training examples. The online system computes a human readability score representing the difference between the specific response and the general response. The online system computes an objective compliance score by applying an evaluation model to the specific response, the evaluation model trained to score the first response based on a specific objective. The online system updates the parameters of the specific-purpose LLM based on the human readability score and the objective compliance score.
