  • Patent number: 12626186
    Abstract: The subject technology receives first party training data provided by an end-user of a baseline machine learning model. The subject technology determines a first set of common features based on the first party training data. The subject technology receives, from at least one data source. The subject technology determines a second set of common features based on the set of datasets. The subject technology trains, using the first set of common features and the second set of common features, a second machine learning model, the second machine learning model incorporating additional training data from the external data supplier during training compared to the baseline machine learning model. The subject technology generates a boosted machine learning model based at least in part on the training, the boosted machine learning model comprising the trained second machine learning model.

  • Patent number: 10963687
    Abstract: The technology includes an example method for parsing data to determine corollary objects and adapt attributes of the corollary objects using the data. In some implementations, the method may include receiving one or more images, performing text recognition to determine recognized text in the one or more images, and determining data cells containing information associated with a first item. The method may then classify one or more of the determined data cells, and may identify key cells in the determined data cells based on the classification of the one or more determined data cells. Correlations between information contained in the key cells and a second item, the second item including an interchangeable item to the first item may be determined, and the method may adjust attributes associated with the second item based on defined parameters and the recognized text.

  • Patent number: 10028558
    Abstract: A handbag, such as a clutch, includes a cover assembly that is openable at a top of the clutch. The cover assembly includes first section providing a first side of the clutch and a second section providing an opposite second side of the clutch. The first section is connected to the second section at least along a bottom of the clutch. Each section a proximal portion and a distal portion slidably attached to the proximal portion and positioned farther from the bottom of the clutch than the proximal portion. The distal portion is slidably attached to the proximal portion such that the section is expandable away from and collapsible toward the bottom of the clutch.
