Patent number: 12106351Abstract: The technology includes an example method for determining matching items. In some implementations, the method may determine a first set and second set of attributes and attribute types associated with a first and second item, respectively, based on description data associated with the items. The method may determine an attribute-type indicator for a pairing of a first attribute of the first set with a second attribute of the second set based on attribute types of the attributes, compute an attribute value for the pairing based on a similarity between the first and second attribute, and compute a match score for a combination of the first and second items based on the attribute value and attribute-type indicator. The method may also, in response to receiving a data query identifying the first item, provide a graphical user interface including a graphical element representing the second item based on the match score.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2022Date of Patent: October 1, 2024Assignee: Staples, Inc.Inventors: Nitin Verma, Randall L. Cogill, Michael Bhaskaran

Patent number: 12051039Abstract: In an example embodiment, a method may generate an item layout map for a shelving unit, where the shelving unit stores item types associated with a product category. The method may determine product attributes associated with the product category and divider configurations of the shelving unit, where a divider configuration divides the shelving unit into one or more candidate regions. The method may generate an ontology entry associated with a product attribute and the divider configuration based on the item layout map and the divider configuration of the shelving unit, the ontology entry indicating a regional entropy values of a product attribute for the candidate regions generated by the divider configuration. In some instances, the method may generate a guidance instruction related to the product attribute of the product category based on the ontology entry and provide the guidance instruction to a user.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2021Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: Staples, Inc.Inventors: Sandeep Sikka, Nitin Verma, Michael Bhaskaran, Xiaowei Lu, Christopher Yong

Patent number: 11498776Abstract: In an embodiment, a method may determine a first candidate item type and a second candidate item type for a container. The method may determine appearance feature(s) of the first candidate item type and appearance feature(s) of the second candidate item type. The method may determine, using a trained dissimilarity model, a distinguishability score between the first candidate item type and the second candidate item type based on the appearance feature(s) of the first candidate item type and the appearance feature(s) of the second candidate item type. The method may determine to store the first candidate item type and the second candidate item type together in the container based on the distinguishability score between the first candidate item type and the second candidate item type. In some instances, the method may place item(s) of the first candidate item type and item(s) of the second candidate item type in the container.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Staples, Inc.Inventors: Sandeep Sikka, Nitin Verma, Michael Bhaskaran

Publication number: 20190156357Abstract: In an example embodiment, systems and methods are described for demand prediction and profitability modeling based on heterogeneous data and blended clustering models. Data for a plurality of items is received and differentiated into a first set of good items and a second set of bad items. Good items and bad items may be indicated by a threshold for a prediction accuracy metric, such as weighted Mean Average Percentage Error (MAPE). A first model for predicted demand levels of the good items is generated that excludes cross-cluster effects with the bad items. A second model of the bad items is generated that includes a residual correction and cross-cluster effects with the good items. A predicted demand of a particular item is generated based on a cluster-level regression model and at least one of the first model and the second model.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2018Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Evangelos Palinginis, Nitin Verma, Michael Bhaskaran, Jian Jiao
