  • Patent number: 11935085
    Abstract: Embodiments provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for prediction and computation of electronic shopping carts. In an example embodiment, for each interaction between an e-shopper and an e-commerce application, one or more predicted electronic shopping carts that represent a combination of items the e-shopper is likely to purchase are generated based on current items in the e-shopper's electronic shopping cart and recent interactions with the e-shopper. For some or all of the predicted electronic shopping carts (e.g., those with top predicted confidence levels), corresponding shopping cart computations (e.g., identifying application promotions, determining a price total for the items in the predicted shopping cart) are executed and cached prior to the e-shopping adding the predicted items. As such, a page configured to visualize the predicted electronic shopping cart with a value retrieved from the cached shopping cart computations (e.g.

  • Publication number: 20240046399
    Abstract: Systems and methods use machine learning models with content editing tools to prevent or mitigate inadvertent disclosure and dissemination of sensitive data. Entities associated with private information are identified by applying a trained machine learning model to a set of unstructured text data received via an input field of an interface. A privacy score is computed for the text data by identifying connections between the entities, the connections between the entities contributing to the privacy score according to a cumulative privacy risk, the privacy score indicating potential exposure of the private information. The interface is updated to include an indicator distinguishing a target portion of the set of unstructured text data within the input field from other portions of the set of unstructured text data within the input field, wherein a modification to the target portion changes the potential exposure of the private information indicated by the privacy score.

  • Publication number: 20230401761
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein relate generally to increasing visibility of pixel patterns of an image. The system includes a pattern-detection application accessing an image depicting an object. The pattern-detection application determines a set of colors from the transformed image. The pattern-detection application identifies a set of pixels depicting a particular color of the set of colors. For the set of pixels depicting the particular color, the pattern-detection application converts an initial set of pixel values of the set of pixels at an initial color space to another set of pixel values that define the particular color of the set of pixels in another color space. The pattern-detection application modifies one or more values of the other set of pixel values to generate a modified set of pixel values. The modification includes causing the set of pixels visually indicate a simulated color that is different from the particular color.

  • Publication number: 20230350963
    Abstract: A system leverages reinforcement learning techniques to determine distribution of items to listing platforms and search ranking rules for each listing platform. Using historical listing data regarding items listed at one or more listing platforms, a machine learning model generates item interaction data, and a reinforcement learning agent is initialized using the item interaction data. The reinforcement learning agent is trained to optimize a function for selecting item distributions and search ranking rules across listing platforms. At each epoch of a series of epochs, the function is used to select an action including a new distribution of items to listing platforms and new search ranking rules to use at each listing platform. After the action from an epoch is implemented, the reinforcement learning agent updates the function, for instance, based on an impact of the action.

  • Publication number: 20230316353
    Abstract: An effective stock keeping unit (SKU) management system encodes catalog data into an embedding per catalog item. An embedding space is created by encoding catalog item data into an embedding per catalog item. The embedding is created by generating an index, where a number of rows represents a number of catalog items and a number of columns represents a number of fields associated with each catalog item. The index is then denormalized using customer groups and transformed by compressing the number of columns, to create the embedding space. In some configuration, a machine learning model is trained using catalog data. In the embedding space, item similarity is encoded by clustering catalog SKUs into groups in the embedding space, by placing similarly related items close to each other in the embedding space. Catalog items are then searched for in the embedding, with the closest clusters searched for a particular catalog item.
