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.

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.

Abstract: There is described an isocyanate-based polymer foam having the combination of: (i) a Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) of greater than or equal to 26.5% when measured pursuant to ASTM D2863-17a, and (ii) a Total Volatile Organic Content (TVOC) when measured pursuant to VDA 277 of less than or equal to 225 ?g/g C. Preferably, the foam is produced from a foamable composition comprising: an isocyanate; a reactive compound containing: (1) at least one hydrogen which is reactive with the isocyanate, and (2) one or both of a halogen and a phosphate moiety; a blowing agent comprising one or both of water and carbon dioxide; and a catalyst; wherein the reactive compound is present in an amount in the range of from about 30% to about 95% of total ISO equivalents excluding water, if present in the foamable composition.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a system and method for providing an extended search. The system generates a list of similar intent groups based on previous engagements linking queries and intents. Upon the detection of an intent in a user query, the system accesses similar intents from the similar intent group and incorporates them into the query of the product catalog in order to obtain a complete set of results. The creation of the similar intent groups uses bipartite graphs and graph embedding to identify intents close in distance.

Abstract: This application relates to systems and methods for automatically generating experiments based on experiment requests routed to micro-services (model sub-components) using a prefix-based routing mechanism. In some examples, experiment requests may parsed to determine lower layer services (e.g., components) whose properties need to be changed for a model iteration. Prefixes in requests may be used to route the experiment requests and portions thereof to appropriate services or layers for configuration at the micro-service level. Routing tables at each higher layer may be utilized to determine the correct sub-layers to redirect a request and/or portion thereof. At micro-service level, each micro-service may store and use a configuration table to match a received parameter in a request with a property and its corresponding value for the experiment.

The computing device is also configured to obtain legacy search results comprising a second list of items and to blend the embedding-based search results with the legacy search results to obtain blended search results. The computing device is also configured to send the blended search results to the customer.

Abstract: The disclosed subject matter relates to a system and method for providing an extended search. The system generates a list of synonym groups based on previous engagements linking queries and products. With receipt of a user query, the system accesses synonyms to the search terms and incorporates them into the query of the product catalog in order to obtain a complete set of results. The creation of the synonym groups uses various approaches including sequence tagging and graph embedding to identify synonyms in the query and the item titles.

Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for providing recommended items based on a search request. In some examples, a computing device determines a plurality of items for recommendation based on an item type in the search request from a user.
