  • Publication number: 20240061875
    Abstract: Systems and methods for responding to a subscriber's text-based request for content items are presented. In response to a request from a subscriber, word pieces are generated from the text-based terms of the request. A request embedding vector of the word pieces is obtained from a trained machine learning model. Using the request embedding vector, a set of content items, from a corpus of content items, is identified. At least some content items of the set of content items are returned to the subscriber in response to the text-based request for content items.

  • Publication number: 20230252269
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for providing a sequential trained machine learning model that may be configured to generate a user embedding that is representative of the user and is configured to predict a plurality of the user's actions over a period of time. The exemplary sequential trained machine learning model may be employed, for example, in connection with recommendation, search, and/or other services. Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure may also employ the user embeddings generated by the exemplary sequential trained machine learning model in connection with one or more conditional retrieval systems that may include an end-to-end learned model, which are configured to generate updated user embeddings based on the user embeddings generated by the exemplary sequential trained machine learning model and certain contextual information.

  • Publication number: 20230252550
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for providing a multi-tasked trained machine learning model that may be configured to generate product embeddings from multiple types of product information. The exemplary product embeddings may be generated for a corpus of products (e.g., products included in a product catalog, etc.) based on both image information and text information associated with each respective product. Accordingly, the generated product embeddings may be compatible with learned representations of the different types of product information (e.g., image information, text information, etc.) and may be used to create a product index, which can be used to determine and serve product recommendations in connection with multiple different recommendation services that may be configured to receive different types of inputs (e.g., a single image, multiple images, text-based information, etc.).
