  • Publication number: 20250069298
    Abstract: An online concierge system trains a fine-tuned generative image model for distinct categories of items based on a generative image model that takes a textual query as input and outputs and an associated image. Training of the fine-tuned generative image model is additionally based on a small set of representative images associated with the various categories, as well as textual tokens associated with the categories. Once trained, the fine-tuned generative image model can be used to generate realistic representative images for items in a database of the online concierge system that are lacking associated images. The fine-tuned model permits the generation of different variants of an item, such as different quantities or amounts, different packaging or packing density, and the like.

  • Patent number: 12210591
    Abstract: An online concierge system receives unstructured data describing items offered for purchase by various warehouses. To generate attributes for products from the unstructured data, the online concierge system extracts candidate values for attributes from the unstructured data through natural language processing. One or more users associate a subset candidate values with corresponding attributes, and the online concierge system clusters the remaining candidate values with the candidate values of the subset associated with attributes. One or more users provide input on the accuracy of the generated clusters. The candidate values are applied as labels to items by the online concierge system, which uses the labeled items as training data for an attribute extraction model to predict values for one or more attributes from unstructured data about an item.

  • Patent number: 12204614
    Abstract: An online concierge system trains a classification model as a domain adversarial neural network from training data labeled with source classes from a source domain that do not overlap with target classes from a target domain output by the classification model. The online concierge system maps one or more source classes to a target class. The classification model extracts features from an image, classifies whether an image is from the source domain or the target domain, and predicts a target class for an image from the extracted features. The classification model includes a gradient reversal layer between feature extraction layers and the domain classifier that is used during training, so the feature extraction layers extract domain invariant features from an image.
